Hospital throws away newborn by mistake

A hospital in South China's Guangdong province hs mistakenly diagnosed a premature baby as stillborn and threw him away.

The issue has stoked public anger and stirred a new round of debate regarding the country's hospital management system.

The baby was believed to be not breathing or crying and the skin had turned purple.

Deporting Bourdon is Najib's biggest mistake, says Suaram

The unceremonious deportation of renowned French human rights lawyer, William Bourdon, last Friday is the biggest mistake yet by the Malaysian government for it is an affront to diplomacy, to international law and common decency. It was a totally arbitrary act by the Home Ministry and a gross abuse of executive power of the Najib administration.

William Bourdon was in Malaysia last week, representing SUARAM in the ongoing investigations over irregularities involved in the purchase of two Scorpene class submarines from the French state company DCN costing more than RM 7.3 billion ringgit.
