Newborn Baby Girl Left At Roadside

The baby is being placed in the incubator

SIBU: A new-born baby girl believed to be less than a day old and weighing 2.16kg was found abandoned inside a box by the roadside at Mile 11, Oya Road yesterday.

An old lady who happened to be at the area at about 8am heard something which sounded like a baby crying and went on the search for it.

She stopped a couple who was on a motorcycle and asked them to help with the search. To their surprise, they found a baby wrapped in a towel surrounded by ants.

The couple then brought the baby to Sibu Hospital, arriving there at about 9.15am.

Upon inspection, the baby seemed to be very healthy and the hospital suspected that the baby was born the night before.

The Welfare Department is currently handling the case.
