BLACK SOCIAL HISTORY Unwanted: Illegitimate Afro-Malay babies
No adoptive parents for the cute babies at Subang halfway home
KUALA LUMPUR: Several babies born out of wedlock between Malay women and their African lovers are facing an uncertain future.
Nine cute Afro-Malay babies have been put up for adoption by their unwed mothers, aged between 17 and 23, since 2009 but there were no takers, reports Harian Metro.
The children are at the Pertubuhan Kebajikan Baitul Fiqh, a halfway home for troubled women in Subang.
Haliza Abdul Halim, the founder of the home, said there was even an unwed mother who was made pregnant twice by two African men.
“In all these cases, the babies had to be raised by members of the mother’s family or her relatives because no one wanted to adopt them.”
Haliza said there was even a case where a baby was returned after staying with her adoptive family for three days. The adoptive family could not bear to face the uncertainty of the child’s future.
“They were unwilling to take the risk of the child being looked down upon by the community, especially after they (adoptive parents) pass away,” she said.
In another report carried by Sinar Harian, an illegal foreign worker paid dearly for a microchip pass which was supposedly to grant him “immunity” from arrest.
The 38-year-old Indonesian, who paid RM3,700 for the fake pass, was picked up by Immigration officers in Segambut on Wednesday.
The Indonesian told the authorities that he had applied for a legitimate work permit with a private company which issued the fake pass that was “valid for one year”.
Putrajaya Immigration enforcement director Zahari Abdul Aziz said the company was under investigation.
