Dungun District Police chief Supt Maizura Abdul Kadir confirmed the incident and said the baby had been sent to the Kemaman Hospital.

“We will track down the irresponsible individuals who dumped the baby.

“The case is being investigated under Section 317 of the Penal Code for concealing the birth with the intention of abandoning the baby,” he said when contacted today.
