Baby dumping
What do you understand from your readings regarding the issue?
Nowadays, baby dumping is one of the immoral behaviors which happen seriously in Malaysia community. Most of the cases are happening when close proximity committed between a guy and a woman and resulted in unwanted baby. The amount of babies dumping increase rapidly every year and these issues have brought a lot of problems to the community. Based on Bukit Aman Police station statistics, total 580 babies were found dumped between years 2000 to 2006 and this number of cases increase every year from 65 baby dumping cases increased to 83 cases in the year of 2006.
What is baby dumping? Baby dumping also means the people who try to murder or attempt to murder the baby. Many of the baby dumpers cruelly left the baby inside the rubbish bins, on door steps, on the streets even refer to leaving alone at motel bed room and most of the babies are below 12 months after give birth. Baby dumping is happening seriously, it is due to the sexual education of a country is out of date. Sometimes government in Malaysia thought the information of sexual education is enough for the school or they thought this kind of education is very sensitive so government Malaysia would not so concerned on this issues.
Another hand, due to some families still have conservative thinking, the girl who got pregnancy will not gain support from their family and finally dumping baby as their final result. Next the girl student who got the baby accidentally, they will dump their baby also. The reason is they still want to continue to study and they would not like to let the other students know they have baby, it because this is a disgrace thing. The economic will also affect the number of baby dumping; due to families have not ability to raise their baby.
Apart from that, baby dumping will lead to mental pressure for a mother, it is because sometime the mother is not willing to abandon or dump their baby as forced by their family. However government come out a lot of policies to punish the baby dumper and save the abandon babies, yet this problem still happen seriously. Lastly moral value in community nowadays has devaluated, it is because people already become selfish, cruelly, unhelpful and so on. We can’t imagine what will happen, if the moral value continues forgotten by mankind.

Why do you think it occurs? Explain your answer.
They are few causes to show that why baby dumping happens seriously in this new era. It had already showed to us that our countries or societies caused failure in sex education, teenagers’ mindset had already affected by the western culture- open minded thinking, lose support from family, finance problem and so on.
Firstly, a country failure in sex education will causes a lot of serious problems to teenagers. Basically this kind of education has implemented by a lot of countries and the information updated by following the trend. Currently Malaysia government thinks, sex education they had provided is enough for local education and seldom upgrade. Actually this kind of topic is very sensitive among Malaysia community, so teenagers can’t learn sex education directly.
Another cause of baby dumping is mindset of teenagers affected by western country. Actually our culture had been affected by western culture since 2020 vision implemented. The western culture not only affects teenagers mind set, it also affects teenagers’ wearing and speaking style. The reason behind why baby dumping will become seriously is teenagers watch porn though internet.
Finance problems are also one of the cause babies dumping happen seriously. Some of the family will dump their baby or kill their baby cruelly, it because lower income. They actually not have able to raise their baby or direct give others people rise. This is also due to the number of family is big or single family.
Apart from that, students will dump their baby cruelly, due to still studying. Most of the baby dumping cases in Malaysia is happening in secondary high school. Students will dump their baby, it because they fell disgrace and scare will abandon by their friend or family.
The most important issues are, the girl who have a baby unwantedly must have strong support by family yet they did receive it. Some of the family will start to abandon or given the stress to dump the baby, because they thing this baby will throw they face. Some of the family mind thinking still remains conservative, and they just want the baby boy instead of baby girl.
The above causes have showed us our moral value is devaluing. We can’t image what are going to happen on the future.

The impacts of society
Baby dumping brings a lot of negative effects to the society, if these problems can’t solve completely.
Firstly, Mother of baby will have a biggest mental pressure from their family or may lead to suicide, because baby mother are force to dump their baby by their family due to conservative thinking. Another hand, mother of baby might run away from the house and go others place to raise their own baby. This will lead to conflict and misunderstanding within the family.
Next, if the baby luckily survived, they will not have chance to growth in a normal family. It will lead to lost self-confident, bad behavior and manner problem and so on to the survived baby. After the baby has become adult, they will bring a lot of the crimes to community. For example, murder, Robbery, kidnap, baby dumping and so on.
Another hand, some of the families they have not preparation to open minded yet, they have bad perception towards pregnant women. This may affect women lost confident, feel unhelpful and lastly women will dump their baby. This situation is happening commonly in community nowadays.
The most important reasons are, teenagers will lean a lot of ‘dirty’ information through porn movie. A lot of porn movie provided by internet are free. In order to attract more teenagers to view the porn pages, the publisher will put several of sex pictures inside the webpages. It will affect teenagers mind thinking become pervert and try to use it on the real world. The teenagers will make baby dumping as a trend, other teenagers will follow it.
In my opinion, to fully solve this problem they are a few step government or parents must take it. Government should enhance the level of law, to punish the baby dumper. Through this step is to ensure baby dumping will be controlled. Another hand, government must provide the medical central to take care the abandoned baby. Besides take care of the baby, government must provide the education opportunity for the abandoned baby, to make sure they still have chance to learn.
For the family part, family supposed to educate their sun about sex education patiently. Family can refer to the internet or attending the sex education speaks to make sure their children can learn a complete sex educational. Unfortunately if their own son has pregnancy, they must fully support them without any condition. To make sure their sons no has any mental pressure and continue to live in future.

The impacts of nation
As we know, teenagers are our hopes by which they will be the leaders of tomorrow and they are the one who will lead the world. Baby dumping will happens seriously among teenagers, it has already showed failure of a country’s sex education. Malaysia government must always update and implement the sex education for all people in this country. Through this alternative, the cases of baby dumping will reduce as we hope.
Another hand, baby dumping will also affect a country the image and reputation. Let’s say if the number of the baby dumping is high in that country, foreign people will give a bad comment. However that country rich in nature resource or any great contribution, outside people will always think that country just concern on building not in humanity.
Besides that, impact of baby dumping wills happen seriously can show us that the moral values among a country or ethic are devaluing. Because people are not worry about how amazing if got a baby yet they just simply destroy them without any reason. If the moral value of a country has devaluated, mean the country will always live in unrest.
Baby dumping will also affected country stability. It wills bring long term of damaging a country political and economic. Due to the survived baby does not grow in a normal family, they will become crime maker. When the crime becomes raising, businessman from foreign will no invest in that country to avoid economic lost. Another hand, foreign university will not promote their good education to this country, due to that country’s education has devaluated.
Lastly to build a peaceful and harmony nation, political and all of us must important the moral value of the community. Baby is one of the present which given by god, they are the future builder of country. We can’t simply destroy them yet we must cultivate them properly to towards nation objectives.
