Abstract
BUANG BAYI – Behind the Baby Hatch is a 15-minute documentary focusing on baby abandonment in Malaysia. As a result of the shame, women give birth and leave their babies by the roadside, in bushes, or even thrown in bins. In worse cases, babies are found in toilets or washed up along the river. In 2015, 104 babies were abandoned throughout Malaysia. Over half of these babies were found dead. BUANG BAYI delves into the socio-cultural reasons of baby abandonment, explores the baby hatch as a solution in alleviating the problem and discusses what can be done to resolve this issue.
