Duo charged over baby sale
BUTTERWORTH: Two women, including an Indonesian, claimed trial at a Sessions Court here to a charge of selling a two-month-old Indonesian baby girl.
Ng Yu Wah, 28, from Permatang Rawa near Bukit Mertajam and Lindawati Rizuan, 32, from Taman Pelangi, Bukit Tengah were alleged to have committed the offence at Block W, Taman Pelangi, Bukit Tengah at about 10.30am on June 26.
Both women pleaded not guilty when they were jointly charged under Section 14 of the Anti-Human Trafficking Act 2007.
If convicted for the offence, they are liable to face a jail term of between three and 20 years and also a fine.
DPP Khairul Anuar appeared for the prosecution while both of the accused were unrepresented.
Sessions Judge Amernudin Ahmad set bail at RM7,000 for Ng.
However, Lindawati was denied bail since she is a foreigner.
Ng posted bail.
Amernudin fixed August 7 for the case to be mentioned again.
