By Liza Mohd

Kuala Belait - A newborn baby girl was found dumped in a rubbish container due for burning at Jalan Mumong Kecil, Kuala Belait on Friday night.

A Kampong Mumong resident allegedly stumbled on the abandoned infant, reports said.

The baby was taken to the Suri Seri Begawan Hospital at about 11.21 pm on Friday and is currently in a healthy condition under the special care of the SSB maternity ward sources said.

The baby girl was reportedly discovered in a box wrapped in cloth inside the big rubbish container located close to the junction leading to Mumong Sports Complex.

The rubbish container is where Kg Mumong residents dump their waste for eventual incineration.

Sources revealed that the baby was found covered with blood indicating that she was delivered on the same day.

It is a miracle the newborn survived the ordeal and fortunate to be alive as the rubbish inside the container is burned daily, the Bulletin was told.

Police are currently investigating the matter.

Three years ago, another baby wrapped in a piece of dirty cloth was dumped inside the same rubbish container and was lucky enough to be found alive.

The baby’s parents were eventually brought to book. The mother received a fine and the father jailed by the Bandar Seri Begawan Court.
