An Indonesian woman stumbled upon the body of a new-born baby girl with the umbilical cord still attached at a garbage dump in front of her house in Jalan Hamzah in Kampung Baru here today.  

Supik Satun, 43, found the body of the fully-clothed baby in a shoe box at about 10am when she was about to throw away some rubbish.

"At first I thought it was a doll in the box and asked my neighbour who is a taxi driver to look. He confirmed that it was the body of a girl and informed the police," she said.

Dang Wangi police chief assistant commissioner Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman when contacted said the body had been sent to the Kuala Lumpur hospital.
