JKM sedia jaga bayi 5 bulan positif dadah

JABATAN KEBAJIAN MASYAAR (JKM) Kelantan has pledged to take care of a five-month-old infant who tested positive for drugs, should their parents prove unsuitable caretakers. Che Samsuzuki Che Noh, the JKM Kelantan director, stated that they would also seek out close family members to nurture the infant, before considering placement in a JKM institution to ensure her safety and well-being. The director said their team is currently not visiting the child as the case is still under police investigation.

They need to assess the parents' condition. Should they prove unsuitable, the JKM team will take custody of the infant or find a family member willing to care for her. On August 12th, the female infant tested positive for amphetamine and benzodiazepines after undergoing urine tests at the NICU hospital. Following that, police detained the 30-year-old mother to assist in the investigation under Section 31(1)(a) of the Children's Act 2001 and Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
