Tutorial 2: Comment on current issue in Malaysia

            Selling Baby-syndicate in Malaysia

                     

Selling baby to syndicate was the current issues in Malaysia that had scared everybody. This activity is known as a trafficking baby illegally for the sake of money perhaps. Local police believed that a big group of people must involve in this crime. A doctor, at the centre of a nationwide babies-for-sale racket, has been arrested by the police in connection with a syndicate that has allegedly sold babies and children since 2009.

So from the statistic given by the local police this activity still ongoing since 2009. We also can claim that there should no proper solution to stop this illegal activity. Otherwise this news had scared everyone. In people eyes Malaysia one of the peaceful country, while this kind of crime had shaken the whole country’s image and reputation as well. Almost 29 children were rescued by local police, between the ages of one month to nine years. The saddest thing is a. The babies were sold by biological parents to syndicate and the babies were re-sold to childless parents. And the Doctor’s has involved in this crime itself had shocked the whole country.

After the investigation by the local police, the doctor, who practiced at a private medical centre, was believed to have worked closely with the NRD civil servant in the babies-for-sale racket carried out by the syndicate. The biological parents sold their babies to a syndicate for between RM2,500 and RM4,500 each. Initial investigations have revealed that the babies and children were sold for between RM18,000 and RM30,000, depending on their physique, look and gender. The babies were then re-sold to childless couples for more than 10 times the amount they were bought for.

Firstly, this activity must be stopped immediately. And more efforts should be done to put an end to this problem as the syndicate was believed to have been operating nationwide. The punishment must be harder to create fear. Those had involved in this crime must be given the big punishment and it would be the good lesson for the future baby makers. And this might help create awareness among public not to do these illegal things. We hoped that the police could work more closely to prevent the baby sell to syndicate. However, all parents should be alert with their child and must watch over their activity.

Additionally, childless couples should also use proper channels if they want to adopt a child, and should avoid buying one from the syndicate. Because this is one the illegal activity which is wrong according to law, while this also might create a big problem to that child to grow up with fake birth certificate. Childless couples can adopt child in correct way for their own benefit and for that particular child as well.

Finally, baby selling to syndicate can’t be stopped until every individual take initiative to solve it. So all individual must be a part in this activity to prevent this from happen. As a human we are able to think what is good and bad so everybody requested to think and act positively to protect the future of all new generation, while could reduce crime in Malaysia.
