Kuala Langat district police chief Mohd Akmalrizal Radzi said police received a report from a doctor at a clinic in Bandar Saujana Putra at 3.29pm on Jan 3 regarding an infant who had been brought to the clinic unconscious by a caregiver at a daycare.

“The baby appeared pale with bluish lips and feet and showed no signs of breathing. The complainant immediately performed CPR and provided oxygen while waiting for an ambulance to take the baby to Putrajaya Hospital.

“At about 4.35pm, the hospital received the baby and continued CPR for over 30 minutes, but there was no response. The baby was pronounced dead at 5.05pm,” he said in a statement today.

Akmalrizal said police had opened an investigation paper under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act, and that statements had been taken from the nursery’s operator and staff, but no arrests made so far.

“Initial investigations revealed that the premises were unlicensed, with the licence application yet to be approved,” he said.
