Baby Dumping in Malaysia

In Malaysia, baby dumping in all the unimaginable places, is becoming quite regular. 

According to police-data, there has been 65 cases of baby dumping so far, this year. Newly born babies have been found in dump sites, in front of houses, near places of worship and more tragically, even in rivers. 

Finally, an important member of Malaysian opposition party, the Islam based PAS, had ingeniously discovered the reason for this sad state of affairs. He said the baby dumping was the side-results of celebrations, like New Year, Valentine’s Day, or even the Merdeka Day (Independence or National Day). He held that young, unwed couples got carried away during the celebrations, when they drank booze and socialized. The result? Unplanned mating and later on, the babies. To avoid the social stigma and the fear of an unforeseen responsibility, the babies are quickly got rid of, in whatever way. 

There is good news and bad news, when this opposition party comes into power after the elections. The good news is, there won’t be any baby dumping! The bad news is, there won’t be any celebrations….sob!
