As a Malaysian, I've never heard about this problem ever before. This is the problem when we don't have a thriving media due to govt censorship. So many things happen inside the country, but we only hear very little of it.
zabidi ahmad You think it has nothing to do possibly with the culture that creates an environment where women can't have babies out of wedlock and foreigners will deported if they get pregnant and where legal adoption is basically impossible? You think immigrants managed to set up this entire illegal industry with deep levels of political corruption with no help from the citizens of the country? Xenophobia is rampant everywhere.
Kermode Bear I agree! I'm part Malaysian but I moved to Australia when I was two....My whole family basically lives there so I'm basically Malaysian...And I totally agree we only hear very little of it! ❤️
I was born in Malaysia. And live here for 21 years but I never heard any of this. Oh my. And also the Bonda's talked in Indonesian slang. It looks like she has been staying in Malaysia for a very long time.
This entire thing is sick and the fact that the darker the skin and if it's a girl the cheaper the price the lighter the skin and a male it's more expensive and if the child is mixed then it's expensive as well. This is just sickening to hear about and just inhuman.
I said the same thing if you can have a baby then you wouldn't be going through all of this together baby and babies are so precious children of precious
iyer ker investigave journalism..???come on laa....al jazeera investigative journalism....????xdernyer...media nie semuanya ada agenda masing2..msm ke aper ker..wikileaks kerr...harakah kerr....all bs...
This is not an issue many Indonesian women workers who become pregnant have a filifin india baby looted in the fighting to be sold by various ways people will seize the baby Malasia tau apparently out of illegitimate babies will not be able to be brought to his country
poor zara, she didnt choose to be sold, and separated from her real parents, so why the malaysian government is refusing to give her rights of citizenship? :( the whole thing is disgusting, i cant even believe this is happening in the 21st century !!
Sad, isnt it? The mother goes on legal and honest route to have her status officialized. Yet JPN prefer those of the same situation to be choosing corrupted bastards like the Ghama doctors to have their children formally recognized. Like one of those authorized car dealership lol. 8 years and counting, still not Malaysian citizen because the mother refused to go to that "authorized car dealer".
In Malaysia, money is king. So if you have enough money, nothing is out of reach. This problem would've been settled if the woman would be willing to 'grease the palms' of the JPN official. It would be pretty expensive, but it would've been done quietly and fairly quickly out of view of anyone. Another reason is pure laziness. There are allowances for special cases, but the officials really don't want to do this due to the paperwork and effort involved. In Malaysia, government positions are known as easy jobs, because they only need to do routine work and will be paid high with assured bonus once a year. There was really no need for them to work too hard. Heck, I once had a government position and my diligence was routinely brought down by the laziness and 'don't care' attitude of the more veteran government employees. I quickly left because I realized that I was becoming just like them.
@@smeagole seriously??? That's what your concern is here? How likely is that to happen? That's ridiculous... sorry but it is... there are horrible things happening here and comments like this cheapen the real issues...
Anyone you ask on the street can tell you that if you buy a puppy from a puppy mill, you will not stop the abuse and cruelty towards the puppies in those mills. The same principle applies here: You would only be feeding the human traffickers that abuse these children in that way. You want to help those babies? Help mothers keep their babies in the first place! Help them out financially, that is often the only barrier parents and mothers face to keep their children. Help them by putting pressure on lawmakers to pass laws to protect them. But don't go and participate in the trafficking. Because no child that you would do it to would thank you for it. After all, you would only have given their traffickers more money to do the same thing to more children.
The adopted babies are actually not at a such a risk. If someone buys them, it is because they want them. Of course they will care for them after paying the so-called adoption fee and making them as their own child. It sounds like the ones who get sent to beg are the unwanted ones, basically abandoned and then trafficked, rather than sold. The issue is more that no woman should make the decision to give up a baby based on money. For some of the mothers, it seems worthwhile for what they get paid. And the middlemen are just sick, profiting on this madness.
Von Chacal every little ones is a blessings from d above, but some parents.. i just dont know what to say.. i am in no place to give a comment bout it.
aww the mother in the beginning is such a sweet heart she gave her whole life pretty much for that little baby girl! True humanity right there :) really melts my heart
I was adopted myself, but Alhamdulillah I was so lucky because I was taken in by good people and a good family. I feel so sad for the hundreds and thousands of babies out there who don't know their fate. Why is this not being stopped? Also wondering what would happen to the babies if people like Bonda and the doctor don't exist?

All of my siblings and I was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My parents are from Burma. We all have the birth certificate and what not. But we all didn't even get to be a Malaysian citizen or even go to any Malaysian school .Thats why my family and I moved to New Zealand for a better life. We all have great education and after 5 years we are all now a new zealand citizen. Im so happy to belong to a country.
Thank u for sharing some perspective in this. I hope Zara in this video wont have to do the same in order to have her life sorted. It's a pity she is considered a stateless child just because her document wasnt forged by the likes of those Ghama doctors. Monopoly system at work, lol
Currently living in Thailand, I can see children peddling in the streets especially in Bangkok. Now that I've seen this documentary, it chills me knowing those kids could be the product of such slavery o.o
doctors, police, officer also took part in this activity as well.and this already done like 30 years ago?astaghfirullah what a corrupt from our beloved country :'(
Dude Malaysia was always corrupt. It's not news. There's corruption everywhere... n if it's not corruption there's racism, sexism...etc. The world's a bad place sometimes
I agree with one thing that the Indian doctor said, actually. With money, everything is possible in Malaysia. We're too corrupted. Poor innocent babies.
Indians,Chinese, and whites are the main core of corruption in the entire world. Let them into your country, they will ruin it forever.....Most of natives people don't know anything until outsiders start offering money to corrupt that particular country.
The most dark side of this story is the mothers who are welling to sell their babies, these are hungry mothers, their hunger pushed them to sell their babies and even more, if you don't feed the poor the problem will continue. Try to find the roots of the problem.It was mentioned that Chinese babies are more expensive and difficult to find. Why? Because Chinese in Malaysia are in most more reach layer than the average. The most available babies are Indonesians and Filipinos because this is the poorest layer in Malaysia.
I don't think it's about them being poor, they just try to run away from responsibility and the fact that getting pregnant out of wedlock is taboo is part of it.
That's horrible! Who knows where these precious babies end up and who they end up with. I wonder how many end up suffering abuse, rape or any of the bad things we hear happening to kids now. Heartbreaking.😞
. I hope that Steve Chao doesn't mysteriously die in a car accident or in a hit and run after getting caught red handed for using a hidden camera in one of those interviews.
I've lived in Asia over 30 years and this sort of activities go on all over Asia (China, Vietnam, Philippines...) in fact it goes on all over the world.
Woman buys child from traffickers for $3,000. Is surprised when she struggles to legally adopt and get a passport for the child. That's an example of Malaysia's legal system working; not failing.
sandy yeo yes it does. people like her using such a lovely name, sweet talk,really approachable looks and doing this under the name 'helping' is the problem. her word is really manipulative.
azhar uddin and your country also bring many problems like untolerance to other race and ethic group, fanatism, corruption and look at your own Prime Minister lol
L OL but it is withon the country...not like ur cancerous citizens...coming hete n create ill.society..not to mention ur stupid country sending smokes all the way and cause serious hazardous health issue..n ur stupid minister mentions tht its only once a year..how stupid
after watching this my husband went to that Klinik owned by Dato Ghandi in klang since I live there. They use ppl from india to work there to cut costs so no Malaysian locals working in that clinic. They will never let us know who the doctor is until we register our details. Such sneaky ppl. Can't believe that ppl become doctors to do illegal work.
i am shock about this. malaysian local media never highlight this issue maybe because there are still more bigger corruption to be report. this is hard to overcome as even the top leader of malaysia are seriously corrupted and we as a malaysian is being shut up and our voice over the concern on national issue is totally ignored by the government. plus, the rising living cost desperate people to obtain money in any kind of form. hopefully this will change if there is a change for the next election
bro.. i salute your braveness.. to disclose all this.. but u should keep your face unrecognise so that you can do more good work to expose Malaysia darker side..
Thank you Al Jazeera for this eye-opening investigation. As a Malaysian myself I am truly astonished by the fact that this kind of horrible dealing happens around the country without even knowing about it. Nevertheless, I pray that this issue reaches the local authority and that they would do their best to stop it from rapidly growing.
I can't stop watching this without getting my eyes on tears. Babies traded like some kind of goods and the level corruption in our society. Government officials are supposed to set a good example to the public, yet they are the ones providing support for this trade. Smh
Yeah I get emotional. There’s a lot of mother’s that are unable to have children or single parents that want to have babies but are unable too. I just wish that these babies go to loving warm hearted parents. God bless them
These stories have often sidelined in favour towards "sensational" news on petty politics and empty statements. Just two days ago, IGP just released another statement in response to Al-Jazeera's investigation on this matter. Some of you may have guessed it; IGP denies Malaysia is a baby selling and trafficking hub but strangely enough, able to give a figurative statement of the arrests made for baby selling on the various part of Malaysia.
The doctor simply said that as a figure of expression not, literally. There are more countries which are more corrupted but of course, corruption happening in any country is not a nice thing
but don't you think corruption make things easier? just look at zara, she followed the legal system and probably will take her ages to get her citizenship.
She is but don't ignore the other races and religion that's also involved in this trade. It's funny that you're only focusing on the one you hate while ignoring the Filipino, Indian and Chinese that's part of these problems.
She has rationalized this that she is helping unwed mothers who have been caste out of society when no one else will. The society has no mechanism to help unwed mother's. It's a taboo
@@NAAli1190 consider the collective.punishment we all face for doing absolutely nothing to help these children or to change the.conditions and suffering they were born into. Not so easy to dismiss when you consider your own responsibility, is it?
Maschera ... me also! I have been eyes opened for maybe 3 years. it has been difficult, but I try explaining to peers without sounding crazy. I am 40+ years old woman
First of all,I would like to pay my highest tribute to Al-Jazeera for yours braveness and courageous to reveal this darkside in our country. So,this is the "real" Satu Malaysia(?) that emcompasses 3 races in our country to run this shameful business.Malaysia de facto is a beautiful country but somehow it has been hijacked and manipulated by those evil person that simply had ruined the country.Infant are the precious gift bestowed by God but not the commodity for sale in the market!Never they think about the retribution?I hope I got the rights to punch and sentence them all to jail!
I legit got scared for the journalists safety. This was a really dangerous project they put themselves in. Just a simple $100 bribe could have them easily killed since Malaysia is a really corrupted country. My parents were both from Malaysia and they sometimes tell me the dark secrets of Malaysia. So scary.

This is heartbreaking I wish these women wouldn’t find themselves in situations like this ..... lord protect these babies I hate thinking they’re being sold to the wrong people without a second thought 💭😭😭😭 these kids are being sold for cheap a thousand isn’t anything to America but they are willing to sell it all .... we need to come together as people and stop the madness .... even the unwanted children will have to suffer in another city if they are not bought or killed .... put the women on birth control, give them aid if they do decide to keep their babies and protect the newborns at all cost .... so horrible babies don’t deserve this
this is why we need to change the government. we are not only corrupted in politic, but in everything. The corruption roots has gone too deep that this has been going on too long. not 1 year or 2. this is why we need to vote for a change. we need a fresh government
With adoption getting harder , as well incredible lengthy, no wonder people like this can pop up like mushrooms. Some parents like to adopt new born babies to bond, but by the time the process is finish, this children can walk. All governments are corrupt and greedy, it's time show power and greed. They can get all the information before the baby is born.
The government should set up a children's services and process adoption legally after back ground checks of couples and also follow up by surprise visit to these parents and make sure the adopted children are in safe and good hands
The Ministry must have been SLEEPING all the while......WHY, in the first place not aware of this Scandal but have to be revealed by a Foreign broadcaster in the country thank you
Steve Raman this. issues affecting the govt is not looked up upon. not suprised if our menteri of women and family development id part of it too(search rohani)
Yeah, we should just grant these babies automatic citizenship. That way, the baby sellers can charge more, because now the baby is also an automatic passport into the country.
i think youre confused: because that's the least of their problems..many of the trafficked babies and children, the ones who *don't* get rescued, get abused in many ways: sexually molested, they get disfigured in painful ways so when old enough they can be forced to be enslaved in working in begging rings/syndicates, they get ritually abused and or ritually murdered..too many horrible things to list them all here.
I can attest to this. My dad's cousin adopted his daughter through these people. It took years for them to adopt a child legally that they finally resorted to such means. Another case: My aunt was an Indonesian and her brother manage to become a Malaysian citizen when he was young unlike her (took 10 years and married to a Malaysian to get the citizenship). Their mother paid money to a family who had their son died of illness, didn't report his death, use the birth certificate and become the legal son of the family. That's it. No question asked.
This is why we need adoption reform. We need better laws. We need to make adoption cheaper then $30-60k a child. If we lower costs, we make it harder for these type of people to do criminal activity because people wouldn’t have to come up with mass amounts of money to adopt a child. When people lack money and are desperate, these people will always have buyers. It’s truly sad and sickening.
What if the baby have infected with HIV or any other deases... pretty sure those seller wont even told anyone about it. Less demand would mean less business. No business could stop illegal human traffic.
I was in Malaysian just a few weeks ago. I knew there was corruption but this is sinister and deplorable. Thanks to Al Jazeera and the reporters/team who uncovered this catastrophe.
thank you Al Jazeera for this documentary, as Malaysian I dont know this kind of trade happened in Malaysia as I never heard or watch our media cover this kind of story
What’s the difference between this and adoption in the USA? Women are still giving their babies to someone else; the people pay the agencies huge fees, the mother gets her medical care and housing taken care of during pregnancy.
What happens to the ugly or sickly baby's that know one wants , if they think of these precious baby's as money 💰 ??? It shock and horrifies me to my soul 😭💔the things humans are capable of 😓🤢
It's 2020 and I am just watching this, I DID NOT prepare my mind and heart for the horror I was about to encounter... My heart is pounding for those women and babies! It is agony that a life has been so disrespected and it's value calculated in $... I am speechless! The entire time I am watching this, I want to just make it stop! I want something to be done, for the mothers and the babies... I am praying for them! Desperately clinging to hope for a better future!
It looks like buying a baby will give them more security than if the law is followed. The government should take responsibility for their laws that discriminate against adoptive parents and children.
I just watch a doc were babies are kidnapped and sold and it was heartbreaking so I'm torn by the fact these mothers are willingly selling the babies and the person in charge is providing shelter . on the on the other hand the babies can used for anything and that's sad as well .
Ada ja. Sindiket gelap jual anak. Sbb nak adopt anak secara legal susah sbb undang2 malaysia. Kebanyakan pati yg jual anak demi duit. Kebanyakan kes org malaysia kita dgr buang anak. Mcm kawan sy sy syak dia jual anak dia. Sbb masa study dia mcm preggy. Mgkin kawtim dgn makcik dia. Jual anak dia.
Amazing piece of journalistic work to Steve Chao and his team. Anyone can correct me if i am wrong, I believe this segment has been totally censored from Al-Jazeera in Malaysia.
So social stigma, tied up with an impossible and expensive adoption system, a generous helping of poverty, mixed heavily with governmental and police corruption, equals a horrifying human trafficking nightmare.
If reporters can reach these places why not police ?
This is so sick

I dont think so... These guys are not gangster in dark society or what...
who dares do that to journalist from prominent international news organization? will only exacerbate the whole situation.
that's not Steve.

I was referring to Malaysian authorities and people in the civil service who can request to have him finished for a few thousand ringgit.
I've lived in Asia over 30 years and this sort of activities go on all over Asia (China, Vietnam, Philippines...) in fact it goes on all over the world.
Edwin Holcombe this does not happen in Africa. At least I can say for my country Cameroon
Woman buys child from traffickers for $3,000. Is surprised when she struggles to legally adopt and get a passport for the child. That's an example of Malaysia's legal system working; not failing.
Great job done by the journalists. Thank you for exposing those sick people.
my blood is boiling. so corrupt.
Kalai Selvi Ganesan wow!! boiling blood.. new human ability to boil own blood
dahsyat aljazeera ni selongkar rahsia jenayah perdagangan manusia ni, god bless AlJazeera
Betul tu.. Bagus lg berita luar negara berbanding tv3 yg sibuk dgn politik
malaysia sibuk dengan eyda jebat
hahaha sama isu si sakai Nur Fathia yg viralkan pramugari tu, cuba dia dok viralkan benda bermanfaat sikit
Tertengok video ni tanpa sengaja.aljazeera dh selongkar punya dalam..xkan tak boleh banteras lagi..ini mmg gila
Malaysia terlalu sibuk
This is so sad. Thank you for bringing awareness, this documentary opened my eyes! I am from the US and I did not know of this practice in Malaysia.
Their skin color determines their price? That is horrible. So horrible.
That's why it's important to adopt/foster locally.
i am malaysian and i never heard anything abt this . there's nothing like 'babies for sale" it is adoption
We didn't allow such things happen this aljazeera is atrash news documentary
FAKE NEW'S...
ALJAZEERA u Get out my country...
ALJAZEERA=DAJJAL
this reminds me of the Catholic nuns in Ireland running those mother and baby homes where the babies were sold
Lola Opal whaaaaaaaat???
Yes, that was another sick story.
Nuns who abused and killed babies .
@@abbyflows1332 try watching the Magdalene Sisters. It's about Irish nuns who abused single pregnant women and sold their babies
@@sanjanewmoonlife What nuns abused and killed babies? When and where?
"if you're dark lower price" excuse me what???????????
Because
1) fair skin babies (like the Chinese are rare)
2) fair skin babies are highly valued
That's the saddest part
Hu MANS and their stupidity🙄
It's a hard reality...sad
Cause those are racists and colourists.
that bonda talk in Indonesian slang that have been stay in Malaysia for a long time.
hitamdarahku yeah indons always bring trouble here in Malaysia
hitamdarahku does it matter? It means he has a good environment in malaysia to carry out his acts
sandy yeo yes it does. people like her using such a lovely name, sweet talk,really approachable looks and doing this under the name 'helping' is the problem. her word is really manipulative.
azhar uddin and your country also bring many problems like untolerance to other race and ethic group, fanatism, corruption and look at your own Prime Minister lol
L OL but it is withon the country...not like ur cancerous citizens...coming hete n create ill.society..not to mention ur stupid country sending smokes all the way and cause serious hazardous health issue..n ur stupid minister mentions tht its only once a year..how stupid
after watching this my husband went to that Klinik owned by Dato Ghandi in klang since I live there. They use ppl from india to work there to cut costs so no Malaysian locals working in that clinic. They will never let us know who the doctor is until we register our details. Such sneaky ppl. Can't believe that ppl become doctors to do illegal work.
Most doctors in America are in it for the money too.. It's a sad situation worldwide
i am shock about this. malaysian local media never highlight this issue maybe because there are still more bigger corruption to be report. this is hard to overcome as even the top leader of malaysia are seriously corrupted and we as a malaysian is being shut up and our voice over the concern on national issue is totally ignored by the government. plus, the rising living cost desperate people to obtain money in any kind of form. hopefully this will change if there is a change for the next election
Tv3 is not doing their job properly.
Doge is Away guess what, its on the news tonight
Pepeminati i only see football matches and car winning lottery, please tell me you have proof.
Muhammad Zulkifli malaysian media too busy talking about politic. Even if they did, this issue will just be a small news.
TuTOk it will be small news if people didn't take much consideration.
Oh my gosh😯😥
I lost my baby. I would love to help! poor baby's! Oh my Lord...
Oh my God help these baby's I beg yu✨
The FB page is real you can look it up
pumpin mama what's it called??
This world is so wicked.
How can we STOP this gross human violations???
Janie Luna ask R.M to adopt these children...she has a foundation...
Crack down on corruption and make adoption more accessible.
siri chauvaux because you have not got sence in your marble heart.
Janie Luna yes, so, my dearling,
siri chauvaux this video is a bit part of my talking.
bro.. i salute your braveness.. to disclose all this.. but u should keep your face unrecognise so that you can do more good work to expose Malaysia darker side..
yeah, he might end up stuff in a concrete filled drum. he definitely got balls.
Thank you Al Jazeera for this eye-opening investigation. As a Malaysian myself I am truly astonished by the fact that this kind of horrible dealing happens around the country without even knowing about it. Nevertheless, I pray that this issue reaches the local authority and that they would do their best to stop it from rapidly growing.
I can't stop watching this without getting my eyes on tears. Babies traded like some kind of goods and the level corruption in our society. Government officials are supposed to set a good example to the public, yet they are the ones providing support for this trade. Smh
Yeah I get emotional. There’s a lot of mother’s that are unable to have children or single parents that want to have babies but are unable too. I just wish that these babies go to loving warm hearted parents. God bless them
Thank you for your brave journalism, for advocating for women's and children's rights, and for ethics worldwide.
its sad that all this thing also happen in malaysia and how the media not expose them :(
The media don't expose anything anymore. You have too look around to see it yourself.
Mizan Samsudin Yes. It's true. You have to look by yourself what is it all about.
bcs the gov control the media
Tbh... the black market of the internet is 10 times worse than this.. I regret visiting there
These stories have often sidelined in favour towards "sensational" news on petty politics and empty statements. Just two days ago, IGP just released another statement in response to Al-Jazeera's investigation on this matter.
Some of you may have guessed it; IGP denies Malaysia is a baby selling and trafficking hub but strangely enough, able to give a figurative statement of the arrests made for baby selling on the various part of Malaysia.
this is so scary and sad 😢 thé doctor said that " Malaysia is the second most corrupt.. " woww i feel ashamed about it
The doctor simply said that as a figure of expression not, literally. There are more countries which are more corrupted but of course, corruption happening in any country is not a nice thing
but don't you think corruption make things easier? just look at zara, she followed the legal system and probably will take her ages to get her citizenship.
Nah malaysia is a bit higher. We don't have gun shooting here.
Great Respect for people like Hartini, God Bless her.
I wish I could adopt one of these babies and give them all the love that a mother can give. They deserve it more than anyone.
A Muslim, a hijab, possibly practising and yet dealing with babies trading, corruptions and bribes.
Hope she is punisable by her precious God.
She obviously is
She is but don't ignore the other races and religion that's also involved in this trade. It's funny that you're only focusing on the one you hate while ignoring the Filipino, Indian and Chinese that's part of these problems.
She has rationalized this that she is helping unwed mothers who have been caste out of society when no one else will. The society has no mechanism to help unwed mother's. It's a taboo
@@NAAli1190 consider the collective.punishment we all face for doing absolutely nothing to help these children or to change the.conditions and suffering they were born into. Not so easy to dismiss when you consider your own responsibility, is it?
A hypocrite is the word!
i am crying... and i am far far from Asian countries. Whats going on with the whole world
Maschera Mascherana I also
Me too
Maschera ... me also! I have been eyes opened for maybe 3 years. it has been difficult, but I try explaining to peers without sounding crazy. I am 40+ years old woman
i dont know man back in late 90s malaysia is not that corrupt as now
Hey dont blame asians not all asian are like that.
First of all,I would like to pay my highest tribute to Al-Jazeera for yours braveness and courageous to reveal this darkside in our country.
So,this is the "real" Satu Malaysia(?) that emcompasses 3 races in our country to run this shameful business.Malaysia de facto is a beautiful country but somehow it has been hijacked and manipulated by those evil person that simply had ruined the country.Infant are the precious gift bestowed by God but not the commodity for sale in the market!Never they think about the retribution?I hope I got the rights to punch and sentence them all to jail!
I legit got scared for the journalists safety. This was a really dangerous project they put themselves in. Just a simple $100 bribe could have them easily killed since Malaysia is a really corrupted country. My parents were both from Malaysia and they sometimes tell me the dark secrets of Malaysia. So scary.
Hahahaha
@@khalidabdel5729 : what is this??????hahahaha???
@@gabrielegaven3094 He is laughing because it is true. You can easily have someones life for less than 1k ringgit. Some drug head out there will take your money no questions asked. And don't get me started on the people that actually have connections.
@@lord2529 : thank you for your reply. what is a human I am asking myself still sometimes.----my life could have been -- those......I am now calling myself very fortunate in this lifetime.....
@@gabrielegaven3094 Dude... you have no idea...
This is heartbreaking I wish these women wouldn’t find themselves in situations like this ..... lord protect these babies I hate thinking they’re being sold to the wrong people without a second thought 💭😭😭😭 these kids are being sold for cheap a thousand isn’t anything to America but they are willing to sell it all .... we need to come together as people and stop the madness .... even the unwanted children will have to suffer in another city if they are not bought or killed .... put the women on birth control, give them aid if they do decide to keep their babies and protect the newborns at all cost .... so horrible babies don’t deserve this
This breaks my heart. Poor innocent children :(
this is against Islamic teachings. this is forbidden and unlawful.
This is also against ALL religions, even Atheists thinks this is wrong in so many levels.
Wait WTH?? I'm Malaysian and I've never heard of these
Likewise
Same
As a malaysia,this is real situation because of corrupt government.
this is why we need to change the government. we are not only corrupted in politic, but in everything. The corruption roots has gone too deep that this has been going on too long. not 1 year or 2.
this is why we need to vote for a change. we need a fresh government
With adoption getting harder , as well incredible lengthy, no wonder people like this can pop up like mushrooms. Some parents like to adopt new born babies to bond, but by the time the process is finish, this children can walk.
All governments are corrupt and greedy, it's time show power and greed. They can get all the information before the baby is born.
The government should set up a children's services and process adoption legally after back ground checks of couples and also follow up by surprise visit to these parents and make sure the adopted children are in safe and good hands
The Ministry must have been SLEEPING all the while......WHY, in the first place not aware of this Scandal but have to be revealed by a Foreign broadcaster in the country thank you
Steve Raman this. issues affecting the govt is not looked up upon. not suprised if our menteri of women and family development id part of it too(search rohani)
cuz they're lazy lol (no offense and sad truth) and the government is just corrupted and ignorant lol
now this documentary has comes out..has anything happened to the people shown here? the doctor? the bonda?
I'm curious about it too. And most importantly.. is the journalist safe? is he safe?
if we would write or maybe complain even more, - I do not think that this will be changing. Too deep rooted. Lack of respect for life.
Aljazeera really did a great job, revealing the dark side of malaysian
Makes me cry right now. These sad innocent beautiful angel are innocent and happy not knowing what will become of them
The works that Al Jazeera had done and will do are rather unparalleled. Keep up the good works and hope Al Jazeera will prosper ever more in future.
Aljazeera hate malaysia for no reason. They creat a fake news about how malaysian control covid19
Iam so disgusted by these baby sellers. Poor babies will be stateless :(
Malaysia's preferences for privilege as a condition for citizenship exacerbated the situation.
Yeah, we should just grant these babies automatic citizenship. That way, the baby sellers can charge more, because now the baby is also an automatic passport into the country.
i think youre confused: because that's the least of their problems..many of the trafficked babies and children, the ones who *don't* get rescued, get abused in many ways: sexually molested, they get disfigured in painful ways so when old enough they can be forced to be enslaved in working in begging rings/syndicates, they get ritually abused and or ritually murdered..too many horrible things to list them all here.
This is so disgusting & sad :(
I hope that the laws improve in order to protect these poor babies.
The baby makes all the difference and a better life not the crime. Thank you lady Zara.
thank you to the team for the hard work behind this!
Most of babies mother are from outsider
Like indonesia ,burma,viatnamese
Of course they dont have birth certificate from malaysia
thank you so much for this reveal.
Wow this investigative team is amazing! Awesome work, we need to bring more of this corruption to light
Hahahaha
I can attest to this. My dad's cousin adopted his daughter through these people. It took years for them to adopt a child legally that they finally resorted to such means.
Another case: My aunt was an Indonesian and her brother manage to become a Malaysian citizen when he was young unlike her (took 10 years and married to a Malaysian to get the citizenship). Their mother paid money to a family who had their son died of illness, didn't report his death, use the birth certificate and become the legal son of the family. That's it. No question asked.
High level corruption and high level scandal needs to be fixed asap this must be international level scandal also
I’m extremely proud and happy these people searched and uncovered the truth and went into the rabbit 🐰 hole 🕳 ...
This is why we need adoption reform. We need better laws. We need to make adoption cheaper then $30-60k a child. If we lower costs, we make it harder for these type of people to do criminal activity because people wouldn’t have to come up with mass amounts of money to adopt a child. When people lack money and are desperate, these people will always have buyers. It’s truly sad and sickening.
What if the baby have infected with HIV or any other deases... pretty sure those seller wont even told anyone about it. Less demand would mean less business. No business could stop illegal human traffic.
The exploitation and colorism is disturbing.
In a culture that getting pregnant out of wedlock is unacceptable Which is worst selling her baby or abandoning him/her in the trash!!
I'm a Malaysian & didn't think that it is this bad. This is unbelievable!
this is very disturbing.. i couldn't watch till the end.
Tareq Naji Saleh Al-Kabsh ... hi..my name is naji
Continue turning a blind eye. Good for you.
THE MIDDLE EAST IS ANOTHER TRASH......POPULAR FOR HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS
REGARD THE MIGRANT WORKERS.
You should watch child trafficking in Syria. That’s even more darker.
Perfectionism in this world has gone too extreme. You will never have the perfect child. Be grateful for what you have.
I was in Malaysian just a few weeks ago. I knew there was corruption but this is sinister and deplorable. Thanks to Al Jazeera and the reporters/team who uncovered this catastrophe.
thank you Al Jazeera for this documentary, as Malaysian I dont know this kind of trade happened in Malaysia as I never heard or watch our media cover this kind of story
What’s the difference between this and adoption in the USA? Women are still giving their babies to someone else; the people pay the agencies huge fees, the mother gets her medical care and housing taken care of during pregnancy.
What happens to the ugly or sickly baby's that know one wants , if they think of these precious baby's as money 💰 ???
It shock and horrifies me to my soul 😭💔the things humans are capable of 😓🤢
Breaks my heart to see this. I hope the govt cracks down this problem.
It's 2020 and I am just watching this,
I DID NOT prepare my mind and heart for the horror I was about to encounter... My heart is pounding for those women and babies! It is agony that a life has been so disrespected and it's value calculated in $...
I am speechless!
The entire time I am watching this, I want to just make it stop! I want something to be done, for the mothers and the babies...
I am praying for them! Desperately clinging to hope for a better future!
As someone with a tiny baby this totally shatters me :(
It looks like buying a baby will give them more security than if the law is followed. The government should take responsibility for their laws that discriminate against adoptive parents and children.
I just watch a doc were babies are kidnapped and sold and it was heartbreaking so I'm torn by the fact these mothers are willingly selling the babies and the person in charge is providing shelter . on the on the other hand the babies can used for anything and that's sad as well .
Let's put this issue forward in the TN50.
nice job done by al jazeera ! bravo !!
I feel so bad for these women who feel they have no other choice than to go through with this.
Im Malaysian n never know this happening in my country 😰
I believe this is a lie. So does the lock down thing.
Ada ja. Sindiket gelap jual anak. Sbb nak adopt anak secara legal susah sbb undang2 malaysia. Kebanyakan pati yg jual anak demi duit. Kebanyakan kes org malaysia kita dgr buang anak. Mcm kawan sy sy syak dia jual anak dia. Sbb masa study dia mcm preggy. Mgkin kawtim dgn makcik dia. Jual anak dia.
Gud pm I need badly help for the people of Malaysia to find my family out there pls help us
Finally, investigation and action from Ministry of women, family and community development...
I was so shocked when they didn't blur the Bonda's face!!! That's a very very very very bold move!!! Wtf?
Why blur it tho?
evelin jauhari why blur? Evil people must be exposed.
Evelin J they didn’t blur the doctor either
Amazing piece of journalistic work to Steve Chao and his team. Anyone can correct me if i am wrong, I believe this segment has been totally censored from Al-Jazeera in Malaysia.
So social stigma, tied up with an impossible and expensive adoption system, a generous helping of poverty, mixed heavily with governmental and police corruption, equals a horrifying human trafficking nightmare.
im a malaysian, & i dont know that this is happening in our country.
