3-YEAR-OLD GIRL ABANDONED

I was having a very mundane Monday until i stumbled upon the story of a little Chinese girl abandoned with just a plastic bag filled with clothing and nothing more near a flat in Skudai.

At first i thought it was normal as i had encountered other more gruesome stuff in my short years as a journalist but then after awhile it hit me. What kind of parents will leave a child to fend for herself.

Luckily a passer-by noticed the girl at about 12.10am on Monday and sent her to the police station. If that good samaritan hadn't done so, who knows what would have happened to her.

Worst still, the police don't know who she is as she had no documents such as a birth-cert. The search is still on for her relatives and next of kin.

I felt angrier at the parents for abandoning their child once i saw her very very cute pix. It is unfair to this child as she had done nothing wrong to deserve such a fate.

I truly hope that the child's relatives will come forward and in a way rescue her. I will definitely pray for her well-being.

The story may or may not be published in the newspapers but i just want people to know my feelings on it.

Alas, mundane Monday became a much profound one.
