PETALING JAYA: The setting up of a DNA bank will help deter baby dumping and greatly improve investigations in other criminal cases.
Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said police could still trace the parents by using DNA in the event a baby or stillborn was found.
“Although it would take a long time and a lot of money to set up, a DNA bank remains the best solution to the baby dumping menace,” he said after launching the Balik Kampung, Rumah Selamat campaign at the Puchong IOI Mall yesterday.
It was reported that during the first eight months of this year, there were 65 baby dumping cases reported nationwide compared to 2009 where there were a total of 79 cases.
DCP Khalid said many baby dumping and criminal cases have remained unsolved due to lack of information and expressed the need for public cooperation to help police solve the cases.
