The baby was found by some villagers at 8.10am and they believe that the baby was newly born because there were traces of blood all over her body.
According to a witness, Mohd Norazam Che Wahab (age 31) he became aware of the poor baby’s location when he let his cat out for a walk.
“Suddenly my cat started running and I chased after it, worried that it would get lost,” Mohd Norazam said.
“However, my cat stopped at a place and that was when I heard sounds of a baby crying. I thought the sounds were from a kitten but when I followed the direction of the sound, I saw the baby,” he continued.
“I immediately ran and called out for a neighbour to come pick up the baby. Another neighbour’s kid called the police,” he added.
