Johor police chief Kamarul Zaman Mamat said the woman was detained in Selesa Jaya, Skudai, at 2am.

“An investigation found that the incident happened at a nursery in Mutiara Rini, involving an 11-month-old baby girl and a nine-month-old baby boy,” he said in a statement.

The woman will be brought to the Johor Bahru magistrates’ court to be remanded.

Kamarul said the nursery was found to be operating without a licence.

The case is being investigated under Section 31(1)(A) of the Child Act 2001, which carries a maximum jail sentence of 10 years or a fine of up to RM20,000, or both, upon conviction.

Earlier today, Iskandar Puteri police chief Rahmat Ariffin said a police report was lodged by a member of the public who had received the videos via WhatsApp.

Two videos of a woman screaming at a crying baby while roughly holding the baby’s head had gone viral on social media earlier.
