KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 — Two foreign nationals have become the first individuals in Malaysia to be charged in court for littering under the newly enforced anti-littering law, according to a report by The Star.
BUKIT MERTAJAM, March 9 — A four-month-old baby boy died today while under the care of a childcare centre located within the grounds of Seberang Jaya Hospital (HSJ) here.
Penang police chief Datuk Azizee Ismail said authorities received a report about the incident, and the infant’s body was later sent to HSJ for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
“Police have arrested two female employees of the centre, both in their 20s. They will be brought to court tomorrow for a remand application to assist with the investigation.
“An investigation has been opened under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder, and further inquiries are ongoing,” he said when contacted by Bernama today.
Earlier, the baby — identified as Hayl Haarith Mohd Syafaeez — was rushed to the HSJ Emergency Department at around 4am in an unconscious condition after being placed at the childcare centre the night before.
It is understood that the infant had been left at the centre as his mother, a 30-year-old nurse, was working a night shift.
Doctors reportedly performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for about an hour in an attempt to revive the baby, but he was later pronounced dead.
The childcare centre operates around the clock to support hospital staff on duty and is monitored by supervisors. The facility is also equipped with closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras. — Bernama
