I. The writer start the article with opinion by the women, family and community development minister about to classify cases of baby dumping as murder or attempted murder.

Writers argument in this article

There are another way to solve the baby dumping problem. eg. : alternative are available for women who find themselve pregnant and are unable for unwilling to look after their babies. There are institions run by the Welfare Department that can take care of the babies, private shelters for unwed mothers and even a baby hatch where a newborn can be left safely and anonymously.

Mothers unwed is suffering from father. eg. : sometimes a baby is conceived through rape or incest or the mother maybe suffering from post-natal depression or mental illness. Unlike the father who can go on their merry ways. Unwed mother have already paid a heavy social price.

Not all mother intending to kill their babies eg : most of the time, they just cannot take their unwanted babies home and abandoned them in place where they are likely to be found and well looked after by the finders.

How does the article conclude ?

The writer said that there are several ways to protect unwed mother and their babies .

We’re disagree with this opinion, this is because when the government or any non-government run an institution like Welfare Department, it seems that the government promote the adultery action by unwed person while, all religions ban this adultery action.

This action cause negative effect such as HIV, AIDS and especially baby dumping.

So, if our country want to reduce the baby dumping , the government should to reduce adultery action first which is practiced by the most teenager such as organize awareness program about this social problem.

Summary (based on our opinion) We, group 5 are disagree with this article because based on our opinion, PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. This article is disscuss about the cure not the prevention. If we know why this problem happens, then we’ll be in a better position to take the appropriate measures to overcome the problem. Parents should spend time with their children and be aware of their physical state of development and not leave the responsibility to their school. Children also should be taught from small. Datin Seri Rosmah as a wife of Prime Minister said, “with a happy home and strong school environment, there was no reason for children to seek joy outside, including taking drugs and looking for boyfriends”.

Girl nowadays are advised not to be taken in by sweet-talking males, and the male not to take advantage of impressionable girls.

In Malacca , Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam came out in support of the move to classify baby dumping as murder or attempted murder.

He said, “they should be punished with dead”. We think that it was sinful to dump babies and

advised those who had done wrong to come forward and rectify their mistake.

Those who can’t take it anymore. It is better to get married. Marriage is better than adultery and dumping babies.

ARE YOU

HAPPY WITH THIS
