IPOH: Two women were charged in Sessions Court here today with trafficking a baby
girl in 2020.

pleaded not guilty after the charges against them were read before Judge Norashima
Khalid.

Noor Azlina, who is attached to a hospital in Alor Setar, Kedah, and Murugamal, from
Penang, were jointly charged with having the same intention to traffic a nine-day-old
baby girl, which is a form of illegal exploitation.

The offence was committed at a car park near a private hospital in Manjung, at about
noon on June 18, 2020.

They were charged under Section 14 of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-
Smuggling of Migrants (Atipsom) Act 2007, which carries a minimum sentence of five
years in jail, up to life imprisonment and whipping, if convicted.
