KUALA LUMPUR: Police believe they have crippled an international baby trafficking syndicate after rescuing three babies and arresting nine people.

Police rescued the babies – one aged five days and two who were seven days old – during an operation conducted by the Bukit Aman vice, gambling and secret societies unit.

They expect to make more arrests soon.

On Jan 14, police detained three women, including a foreigner, and saved a week-old baby girl at a hypermarket car park in Ampang.

The following day, they raided a private clinic in Pusat Bandar Utara Selayang and rescued a five-day-old baby boy. They arrested four women including two foreigners.

In another raid on a house in Subang Jaya several hours later, a week-old baby girl and two pregnant women were rescued.

Police also found the mother of the five-day-old baby who was rescued in Selayang while a man and a female foreigner were arrested at the same house.

The suspects were aged between 20 and 50 years.

Police also seized fake birth certificates, forgery equipment and RM3,000 in cash in Subang Jaya.

Federal CID director Commissioner Datuk Seri Bakri Zinin told a press conference at Bukit Aman yesterday that initial investigations revealed that the babies were sold for between RM15,000 and RM20,000 each, depending on their appearance and health.

Comm Bakri said police had monitored the syndicate’s movement since July when two raids in Sarawak and Kuala Lumpur saw the rescue of 22 babies and arrest of 30 people, including a doctor couple.

He said the syndicate was selling the babies to a neighbouring country and police had alerted their counterparts for assistance.

He said police would refer to the National Regis­tration Department to investigate the authenticity of the birth certificates issued for the babies and if any person had tampered with the documents.

He said the rescued babies and pregnant women, who were currently under observation at Kuala Lumpur Hospital, would be sent to the Welfare Department once investigations were completed.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the licence for the Selayang clinic had been temporarily suspended.

He said the ministry was conducting its own investigation to ascertain if the owner of the clinic was directly involved with the syndicate before making a decision on whether to revoke the licence.

KUALA LUMPUR: Sindiket penjualan bayi terbesar yang dilumpuhkan minggu lalu dipercayai mempunyai rangkaian di luar negara sehingga membolehkan kumpulan itu mendapat pelanggan di beberapa negara terutama Singapura.

Pengarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah (JSJ) Bukit Aman, Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin, berkata pihaknya sedang menjalankan siasatan bagi mengenal pasti saiz sebenar operasi sindiket terbabit yang berpusat di Lembah Klang, Sarawak dan Johor, termasuk mengesan saki baki anggota mereka. “Berikutan itu, tempoh siasatan akan dilanjutkan sehingga tiga bulan lagi bagi membanteras kegiatan ini hingga ke akar umbi. Kita sedang berhubung dengan pihak berkuasa di beberapa negara jiran bagi mendapatkan maklumat berkaitan. “Kita percaya kegiatan dilakukan secara terancang, Usaha paling penting kini untuk mengenal pasti saiz sebenar operasi sindiket itu,” katanya pada sidang akhbar di Bukit Aman semalam.

Sabtu lalu, Unit Anti Pemerdagangan Orang (ATIP) D7 JSJ Bukit Aman, menahan lapan anggota sindiket terbabit, termasuk empat warga asing berusia antara 20 hingga 50 tahun, masing-masing di sebuah klinik swasta dan rumah kediaman di Selayang serta Subang Jaya hasil maklumat risikan.

Turut diselamatkan tiga bayi berusia antara lima hingga tujuh hari yang dalam proses untuk diperdagangkan dengan harga di antara RM15,000 hingga RM20,000 bergantung kepada kesihatan dan paras rupa.

Beberapa dokumen berkaitan pengeluaran sijil kelahiran, buku rekod dan wang tunai RM3,000 dipercayai pendahuluan pembelian bayi turut dirampas dalam serbuan itu.
Semua lapan suspek ditahan reman sehingga 22 Januari depan dan kes disiasat mengikut Seksyen 14 Akta Pemerdagangan Orang dan Anti Penyeludupan Migran 2007.

Sehingga kini, 30 suspek berjaya ditahan sejak operasi membanteras kegiatan penjualan bayi dilancarkan besar-besaran sejak pertengahan tahun lalu di Sarawak dan sekitar ibu negara, dengan 22 bayi berjaya diselamatkan.

Mohd Bakri berkata, dalam serbuan terbaru itu pihaknya juga berjaya menyelamatkan dua wanita warga negara asing yang sarat mengandung dan seorang wanita tempatan dipercayai ibu salah seorang bayi yang diselamatkan di klinik swasta terbabit.

“Kita percaya klinik itu sudah memperdagangkan sembilan bayi tidak termasuk tiga bayi yang berjaya selamatkan. Semua mereka (bayi dan ibu) yang berjaya diselamatkan dihantar ke Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) untuk menerima rawatan dan penjagaan rapi,” katanya.

Mohd Bakri berkata, pihaknya juga masih menyiasat sama ada ibu kandung bayi yang diperdagangkan itu menyerahkan bayi mereka secara sukarela atau dipaksa.

Israel bunuh 26 kanak-kanak




GAZA - Kanak-kanak di Genting Gaza menjadi mangsa pembunuhan tentera Israel semasa memungut barangan terpakai di tapak runtuhan bangunan, menurut laporan terbaru.

Pertubuhan Save the Children melaporkan, seramai 26 kanak-kanak Palestin ditembak tentera Israel berhampiran sempadan kedua negara sepanjang tahun lalu.

Daripada jumlah itu, seramai 16 kanak-kanak di- tembak semasa berada di luar kawasan larangan yang diwujudkan rejim Zionis di sepanjang sempadan.

Kanak-kanak di Gaza terpaksa memungut sisa bahan binaan untuk membina semula rumah mereka yang musnah akibat serangan ganas Israel pada 2008 kerana rejim itu tidak membenarkan bahan binaan dibawa masuk ke Gaza.

"Sekatan zalim Israel bukan sahaja memusnahkan ekonomi Gaza, tetapi juga meletakkan nyawa kanak-kanak Palestin dalam bahaya," menurut laporan itu.
