Three claim trial for alleged involvement in baby trafficking scam

LANG: A woman and her two daughters were charged at the Klang Sessions court for allegedly participating in a baby-for-sale scam involving three baby girls earlier this month.

The three claimed trial to the offence said to be committed at the Metro Maternity Hospital in Jalan Pasar on Dec 3. The case will be mentioned on Jan 22, 2010.

Lim Kim Wan, 56, from Jalan Sungai Nangka, Banting, and her daughters Ang Bee Ling, 36, from Jalan 16, Pandamaran, Klang and Ang Bee Churn, 31, from Jalan Alor Setar off Jalan Bukit Mertajam in Klang.

They were charged with arranging to sell a baby each.

All three were represented by Muhammad Affendy Mohd Yusof who requested the court to release them as Lim was not in good health, while Bee Ling has a child and Bee Churn has six to care for.

Deputy public prosecutors Siti Noorbaya Jamil and Aimi Syaswani Sarmin urged the court not to grant bail due to the severity of the case.

Sessions Court judge Yong Zarida Sazali granted bail at RM15,000 each with one surety for each accused.

All three are required to report to the nearest police department on the first day of each month.

The accused face jail terms of between three years and 20 years.

The Star yesterday front-paged about a group involved in selling babies to childless couples at between RM15,000 and RM20,000.

Couples who paid to have the babies included a university lecturer who was arrested in Kajang

After i read this this new from the internet i felt shot how come the suspected can take human life as a transaction to make profit on it.They even again the human right and didn't take life as a thing. Beside the law can get them the punishment they deserve to i think the most important thing is to educate the people now a day to respect the life.Law is only can execute when the people get involved in the crime but it doesn't really make effect in prevent the crime happen.The most important thing is to educate the people.An ethical education is much more important than the professional knowledge.So hope the govrnment can make much more attention on educate ethic to public and this is the only way to reduce and prevent all thouse kind of crime happen in the future.
