Ipoh Woman Warns Mums On FB After Hospital Guard Harasses Her And Asks For Breast Milk
He sent voice recordings of himself pretending to be a crying baby and acted as if he was accompanying someone in a labour room.
A woman recently went on Facebook to share her experience being harassed by a man from Ipoh.
He pretended to look for someone who would like to adopt four newborn babies.
In an interview with the victim, she told SAYS that she would like to remain anonymous. To protect her identity, she will be referred to throughout the story as Sarah (not her real name).
On Thursday, 21 January, Sarah posted about the ordeal on Facebook and wrote, "At first, the man called me and said that his mother had quadruplets who had to be given away due to their economical status. I explained to him that he was Malay and we do not practise the same religion. It's not okay for us to adopt the children."
"Then, he said that his mother was Chinese or something so the babies had to be adopted by a Chinese person. There was a mention of selling the children. In the end, I helped him find the phone number of Ebit Lew, a Muslim religious teacher, hoping that it could help the four babies."

The man, who works as a security guard at a hospital, revealed his face and the victim noticed that he was close to 50 years old.
This, along with overall suspicious behaviour, made Sarah question his story about his mother.
When she pointed out that his story was questionable, he said that his mother was 49 years old and his father had passed away. Sarah then asked who was the father of the four babies, and he said that his mother had affairs with other men.
After that, she told him to stop contacting her.
He proceeded to bombard her with random images of pregnant ladies and women holding their babies. He even sent Sarah photos she had uploaded on her own Facebook profile.

She continued to ignore him but he sent voice recordings of himself pretending to be a crying baby and acted as if he was accompanying someone in a labour room.
That night, he sent her lewd images of his genitals.
After writing about the incident on Facebook, several other women came forward and told Sarah that they had been harassed by the same man
He had contacted one of the victims through video call while at work and it revealed that he was a security guard at a government hospital in Ipoh.
Sarah added that he used the same modus operandi with other mothers and said that he was looking for adoptive parents for Chinese babies.
He would beg them for breast milk and demand for their address. Fearing for their safety, the women then filed separate police reports.
"He mostly gets victims' phone numbers on Facebook as most of them run online businesses and their contact is available on their profile," Sarah explained.

A man who works at the same hospital as the suspect contacted Sarah and told her that he had been arrested.
However, he was released on bail.
Sarah added that the police launched an initial investigation but decided not to proceed with the case according to Section 110 (a) and (b) in the Criminal Procedure Code.
She hopes that her story will raise awareness among mothers and keep others on high alert.
