themselves pregnant and are unable or unwilling to
look after their babies.

Department that can take care of the babies, private

mothers as unnatural women who abandon babies.

incest, or the mothers may be suffering from post-
natal depression or mental illness.

ways.

 How does the article conclude ?
 The writer said that there are several ways to protect unwed
mother and their babies .
 We’re disagree with this opinion, this is because when the
government or any non-government run an institution like
Welfare Department, it seems that the government promote the
adultery action by unwed person while, all religions ban this
adultery action.
 This action cause negative effect such as HIV, AIDS and especially
baby dumping.
 So, if our country want to reduce the baby dumping , the
government should to reduce adultery action first which is
practiced by the most teenager such as organize awareness
program about this social problem.
Summary (based on our opinion)
 We, group 5 are disagree with this article because based on our
opinion, PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.
 This article is disscuss about the cure not the prevention.
 If we know why this problem happens, then we’ll be in a better
position to take the appropriate measures to overcome the problem.
 Parents should spend time with their children and be aware of their
physical state of development and not leave the responsibility to their
school.
 Children also should be taught from small.
 Datin Seri Rosmah as a wife of Prime Minister said, “with a happy
home and strong school environment, there was no reason for
children to seek joy outside, including taking drugs and looking for
boyfriends”.
 Girl nowadays are advised not to be taken in by sweet-
talking males, and the male not to take advantage of
impressionable girls.
 In Malacca , Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam
came out in support of the move to classify baby dumping
as murder or attempted murder.
 He said, “they should be punished with dead”.
 We think that it was sinful to dump babies and advised
those who had done wrong to come forward and rectify
their mistake.
 Those who can’t take it anymore. It is better to get married.
Marriage is better than adultery and dumping babies.
