MALACCA: A housewife from Batu Berendam here who received a 2.8kg newborn from a stranger on the first day of Ramadan believes the child was a gift from God.

The 49-year-old mother of three, who requested anonymity, said she was sprucing up her home at about 4pm on Monday when a stranger knocked on her door and handed her the newborn baby.

"It just happened in a blink of eye, the stranger handed a basket and when I looked inside the little one beamed at me," she said.

"This is the fasting month and receiving a baby is a blessing for me and my husband as we wanted another child but I couldn't conceive due to my age.

"I believe God has answered our prayers," said the woman who appeared at the magistrate's court here together with her husband Mohd Said, 59, to apply for an interim guardianship order yesterday.

The couple have named the child Putera Hamka Al-Kausar.

"I took the baby into my home and recited some prayers before feeding him.

"I later told my husband and the other children and they asked me to take care of the baby as it was a Ramadan gift from the Almighty," she said.

The woman claimed the stranger, who wore a scarf, had said: "Please take care of this baby" before leaving in a waiting taxi.

"I couldn't get a close look at her face as she just rushed off," she said.

Earlier at the court, magistrate Mohammad Hazri Hahafi allowed the one-month guardianship under Section 19 (2) of the Children Act 2001.

The court also ordered Melaka Tengah Welfare Department officers, Nur Hazlin Jaafar and Muslim Abdullah to prepare a report on whether the couple were capable of caring for the child

They were also asked to try and trace the biological parents before the court could decide on permanent custody on Sept 15.
