DROP UNWANTED BABIES HERE: The nation’s first baby hatch at Kampung, Tunku Petaling Jaya was launched yesterday with the support of the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry. Couples who cannot take care of their babies can drop them off at the hatch anonymously and the babies will be put up for adoption. The New Sunday Times had in February reported about the proposed launch of the baby hatch.The proposal provoked a debate, with some saying that it encouraged premarital sex and reckless behaviour. Many also lauded the move which they said would prevent the abandoning of unwanted babies in dumpsites and garbage bins.
