  "account": "Police are investigating the suspected concealment of a birth after the remains of a baby were found in a drain near Padang Setengge housing in Hulu Terengganu, Malaysia. District police chief Superintendent Sharudin Abdul Wahab stated that the case is being looked into under Section 318 of the Penal Code, which deals with the secret disposal of a body. The discovery of the remains was reported by a man to the district police headquarters at 6:52pm on Friday. The woman who found the remains while washing clothes alerted the Padang Setengge Housing Village Development and Security Committee. Only an arm and both legs of the baby were discovered, and the baby's sex and nationality are still unknown. Police have sought help from the Terengganu forensic unit and K9 unit to investigate the scene and collect evidence. The post-mortem examination will be conducted by the forensic department at Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital. The motive behind this concealment remains under investigation, and no arrests have been made as of now.",
