Shah Alam district police chief Baharudin Mat Taib said the report was lodged by the husband of online entrepreneur Siti Suriani Wahiddin, who was one of the couples involved, at the district police headquarters at 9am today.

“The report was lodged after the husband realised that the mother’s name on the name tag at the baby’s leg was not his wife’s name, but the name of another woman believed to have given birth at the same hospital.

“Police will conduct further investigations,” he said when contacted today.

According to media reports, Siti Suriani had delivered a baby boy at a private hospital in Shah Alam early on Friday.

However, the baby’s name tag had displayed a different mother’s name and time of birth — 3.02pm on June 10 (Thursday).

Without realising that a swap had occurred, the hospital had allowed Siti Suriani and the baby to be discharged yesterday.

The couple had immediately contacted the hospital upon realising the matter.
