SINGAPORE – The police are investigating a case of a baby boy found in a private residential estate near Upper Paya Lebar Road on Monday (July 27).

A police spokesman said on Tuesday that they received a call for assistance at around 7.45pm at a semi-detached house in Tai Keng Gardens.

Police officers at the scene found a baby boy at the location.

“There were no visible injuries on the baby and his condition was stable,” the spokesman added.

The baby was then taken to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

According to residents in the area, the baby was found after he was heard crying in a bin.

Speaking to The Straits Times, a resident who only wanted to be known as Mr Lew, 65, said his son-in-law discovered the baby shortly after a family dinner.

“He heard a strange noise coming from the recycling bin, and asked some of us for help to check it out,” said Mr Lew on Tuesday.

“No one dared to open the bin because they thought it might be a cat or a dog, so they called me for help,” he added.
