邱丽莎（Lisa姐） 是“安乐窝”创办人，多年来一直致力于促进领养、照顾孤儿，并帮助有需要的人。

邱丽莎自21岁开始创办托儿所，收养被遗弃的孩童。她帮助许多未婚妈妈和无力抚养孩子的家庭，为他们提供咨询、办理合法领养，并为孩子们寻找适合的领养家庭。她也收留许多无家可归的老人，为他们提供住处和照顾。

报生纸比你想的重要

邱丽莎23岁那年，一位宣称忙于工作的爸爸将孩子交给邱丽莎24小时看顾。第一个月，这位爸爸还有联系，可是第二个月他就失联了。机智的邱丽莎最初告知家长，如果父母要求福利机构24小时托管孩子，父母必须提供原版的报生纸。孩子有了报生纸就等于有保障，福利机构后续申请合法监护与领养才能顺利。

邱丽莎深知报生纸的重要性，如果有父母没有帮孩子申请，熟知政府程序的她就会竭尽所能地协助。有时候还会碰上没有本地身份的外籍移工有了孩子，她就会带他们去所属国家的领事馆，帮他们争取与母亲国籍相符的证件。

Lisa Hew, the founder of Persatuan Perlindungan Kanak-Kanak Suriaku Selangor, has worked for years to promote adoption, care for orphans, and help those in need.

Lisa started  the daycare service at 21 and began adopting abandoned children. She has  assisted many single mothers and families by providing counselling, handling legal adoptions, and finding adoptive families. She also shelters homeless elderly people.

A Birth Certificate Is Crucial

When Lisa was 23, a busy father left his child in Lisa's daycare service centre. After a month, he  was unreachable. Lisa had wisely required a birth certificate for 24-hour care. This ensured legal guardianship and adoption could proceed smoothly.

希望之谷位于双溪毛糯，过去是麻风病院，如今是康复者社区。它曾世界第二大麻风病院，由英殖民政府于1930年成立。

当时为了防止疾病传播，政府对麻风病人采取强制隔离，形成封闭社区。病人们可以在院内结婚生子，但新生婴儿都会被强制送出病院，由家属亲戚、孤儿院领养。

有好多老人家，当年甚至没能亲自拥抱孩子，孩子就被送走了。他们不是自愿遗弃孩子，却是在大时代的背景下，被迫与孩子骨肉分离。

数十年过去，他们有的人，还在等待与孩子团聚……

陈彦妮：寻找爱需要很大的勇气，接受爱也是

陈彦妮最初以记者身份来到希望之谷拍摄纪录片，被老人家们的故事感动。离开职场后，她投入希望之谷社区，帮助老人家们的寻亲行动。她走访各地，查阅资料，联系相关机构，最终帮助了部分家庭破镜重圆。

寻亲是一段坎坷的旅程，当年被送走的孩子，有的已不再回首过去，甚至担心老人家们寻亲是为金钱而不愿有所瓜葛。但是，这些老人家们的心思却很简单，他们并非要求孩子回来赡养，而是想弥补多年的亏欠。他们鼓起勇气寻觅，只是想知道孩子过得好不好。

有的孩子被友族家庭收养，过上截然不同的人生。他们对自己出自何处充满好奇，故顶着头巾来到希望之谷，与生母相聚。他们鼓起勇气回溯自己从何而来，并接受这份过去，也需要勇气。

Valley of Hope in Sungai Buloh was once a leprosy hospital and is now a community for recovered patients. Established in 1930 by the British colonial government, it was the world's second-largest leprosy hospital.

To prevent the spreading of the leprosy disease, the government implemented mandatory isolation of  patients and created a closed community. Patients could marry and have children, but newborns were taken away to be adopted by relatives or orphanages.

Many elderly residents in the Valley of Hope never held their children as they were taken away shortly after birth. They did not abandon their children voluntarily, but they were forced to part with their children against the backdrop of significant historical events.

Decades later, some elderly residents are still waiting to reunite with their children…

Tan Ean Nee: Finding Love Takes Courage, Accepting It Too

Tan Ean Nee, a former journalist, was moved by residents' stories. She left her job to help them find their lost children, traveling and researching to reunite families.

The search for family is tough. Some of the children who were sent away don't want to look back and worry that the elderly are looking for them for money. But, the elderly simply wish to know their children are well and make up for lost years.

Some children adopted by other families come back out of curiosity. They embrace their past, needing courage to accept it.

马佩佩牧师是毕业于马来西亚圣经学院（BCM）的领导学硕士，拥有辅导学背景。她除了关注社会议题外，并致力于推广健康的婚姻观与性教育。

佩佩牧师分享了《摩西出埃及记》的故事，说明上帝如何重视生命。当时，埃及法老下令杀死所有希伯来男婴，因为他担心他们会壮大。 摩西的母亲为了保护他，把他放在一个篮子里，并把篮子放在尼罗河上。 奇妙的是，法老的女儿发现了摩西，并收养了他。 牧师认为，上帝通过这种方式拯救了摩西的生命，让他在一个安全的环境中成长，最终成为带领以色列人出埃及的伟大领袖。

除了“摩西出埃及记”，她还分享“耶稣出生在马槽”这篇与弃婴有关的故事，并凸显了上帝看重每个生命，即便在逆境中，也会用另一种方式保护他们。

解决本质问题大于争论伪命题

马佩佩牧师认为，生命的源头是来自与神赋予的。人们爱神， 自然也会爱惜和尊重生命。因此，不鼓励堕胎和弃婴的行为。

当谈及弃婴舱会鼓励大众弃婴的争议时，她认为弃婴舱背后的理念不是为了制造更多麻烦，而是要拯救生命。即便社会没有弃婴舱，也仍旧会有人选择弃婴，因此这身后最根本的问题，仍是需引导人们对性行为和生育责任有正确的认知。

近年，马佩佩牧师也身体力行的把性教育逐渐的融入进宗教教导中。这无疑是大胆和具有挑战的。但是她也曾在舆论中顺利举办了”恋爱40天“两性关系活动。

Rev Amelia Beh is a Master of Leadership graduate from Bible College of Malaysia (BCM) with a background in counselling. She focuses on social issues, promoting healthy marriage views, and sex education.

She shared the story of Moses' Exodus to show how God values life. The Egyptian Pharaoh ordered the killing of all Hebrew baby boys out of fear. To save Moses, his mother placed him in a basket on the Nile. Pharaoh’s daughter found and adopted him. The pastor believes God saved Moses this way, allowing him to grow up safely and become the leader who led the Israelites out of Egypt.

In addition to the story of "Moses' Exodus", she also shared the story of "Jesus born in a manger", which relates to abandoned babies. She highlighted how God values every life and will protect them in different ways, even in adversity.

Addressing the root issue is more important than debating false premises

Rev Beh  believes that life is a gift from God. Those who love God naturally cherish and respect life, which is why abortion and baby abandonment are discouraged.

She believes that baby hatches are meant to save lives and not create problems. Even without baby hatches, some would still choose to abandon their babies. The root cause is educating people on responsible sexual behavior and parenting.

Recently, Rev Beh has actively integrated sex education in christian religious teachings and has organized the “40 Days of Love” event related to gender relationship. Despite challenges, she continues to help those in need.

2023年11月，内政部鉴定8项公民权修宪建议。其中有关移除联邦宪法第14（1）（b）条款下的1（e）条文一事，引起了民间组织的质疑。该联邦宪法阐明，在马来西亚日当天或之后，在大马境内出生及生来不属于其他国家公民的人，可在法律下享有公民权。如若移除1（e）条款，恐加剧儿童无国籍问题。

政府有意修订联邦宪法附表二第三部分第19B条款。该条款认定任何在该地点发现的婴儿，应被推定为在地出生，并有一名永久居留身份的母亲，除非有相反证据证明。该条款适用于父母身份不明的婴儿，但政府有意修订此条款，建议弃婴必须通过登记取得公民身份。

2024年3月，以上条款将会保留。然而，弃婴的公民权之路仍旧充满挑战……

政策执行上仍需努力

马来西亚女律师公会副主席黄佳敏律师指出，从2021年11月开始，联邦法院裁定每个被遗弃的婴儿将自动获得马来西亚国籍。这是一个积极的变化，但实际执行仍有问题。

“JPN（Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara，国民登记局）并不总是遵循这一裁决，有时仍需通过法院申请。”

她点出了一个事实：因为社会的污名化，以及未婚先孕缺乏支持是导致弃婴现象的原因之一。在给予弃婴国籍这一方面，政府的执行力度仍有不足之处。

In November 2023, the Ministry of Home Affairs proposed eight constitutional amendments on citizenship. The removal of Article 14(1)(b) Section 1(e) of the Federal Constitution raised concerns among civil organisations. This article grants citizenship to those born in Malaysia who are not citizens of any other country on Malaysia Day or thereafter. Removing this clause could deepen the issue of stateless children.

The government also planned to amend Article 19B of Part III of the Second Schedule. This article presumes that any foundling is born in Malaysia and has a mother with permanent residency, unless proven otherwise. Initially, the government suggested that abandoned babies must be registered to obtain citizenship.

In March 2024, these clauses were retained. However, the path to citizenship for abandoned babies remains challenging.

Efforts Still Needed in Policy Implementation

Jasmine Wong, Vice President of the Association of Women Lawyers (AWL) in Malaysia, highlighted that , according to the rule of Federal Court in November 2021, every abandoned baby automatically receives Malaysian citizenship. This is a positive change, but implementation issues still persist.

“JPN(Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara) does not always follow this ruling, and sometimes it still requires a court application.”

She pointed out that social stigma and lack of support for unwed mothers contribute to the problem of abandoned babies. The enforcement efforts of the government to grant citizenship to abandoned babies are still insufficient.

张玉珊是性别权益组织“异样Diversity”的创始人，也是社会主义党的一员。她长期关注性别议题，活跃于社会运动。此外，她致力于推动性别平等和社会正义。在公民权修宪案中，她所属的社会主义党也支持联邦法院的判决，即弃婴自动获得公民权。

藏在弃婴背后的性别符号

长期关注性别议题的张玉珊指出，弃婴现象背后其实反映了父权社会对女性的不公平待遇与压迫。社会普遍有“男主外，女主内”的想象，将生育责任归咎于女性，而忽略了男性在其中的责任，进而加重未婚妈妈的负担。

因为现有的父权结构和社会观念，导致女性在未婚生子上面临更大的压力和污名化。张玉珊就分享道，如果女性在大马未婚生子，就会被冠上“衰女包”（不孝女）的骂名。

面对这些不平等的声音，张玉珊希望社会可以透过完善性教育的方式提高青少年的性知识水平和自我保护意识。此外，面对弃婴行为，比起简单粗暴的惩罚，政府更应该考虑如何提供援助和解决问题。透过这些行动，弃婴现象的污名化标签才能撕掉，进而消除社会偏见。

Chong Yee Shan, a member of the Malaysian Socialist Party (PSM), is the founder of the gender rights group "Diversity". She focuses on gender issues and is active in social movements, promoting gender equality and social justice. Her party supported the court ruling that grants citizenship to abandoned babies born in Malaysia.

The Gender Symbols Behind Abandoned Babies

Chong points out that the issue of abandoned babies reflects the unfair treatment and oppression of women in a patriarchal society. In the context of Asian societies, society often puts responsibility of reproduction on women, ignoring the role of men in sharing the responsibility, which results in increasing the burden on single mothers.

The current patriarchal structure and social norms lead to greater pressure and stigma on women who have children out of wedlock. Chong shares that unmarried mothers are often labelled negatively in Malaysia.

Chong hopes that our society can improve sex education to increase the knowledge and self-protection awareness of young people. Instead of punishment, the government should focus on providing support and solutions to the problem of abandoned babies. These actions can help remove the stigma and reduce social prejudice.

黄旨慈是一位刚毕业两年的独中生。她透露自己是通过中学生物课和初中辅导课接触性教育。她表示父母和师长在性教育里像是为自己照明的灯塔，但两者指引的方向不同，父母关注的是心理层面，提醒她在性这方面需要注意的事项；而师长则侧重在传授生理知识，建立她在性教育认知的基础。

不要污名化性

除了现有的性教育内容以外，旨慈认为可以去追溯性的起源和探索多元性别的课题，这是学校课纲上没有提及的。她也提到在东方的教育里，“性”是一个避讳的话题，只要谈及这个话题，“肮脏”、 “变态”等刻板印象就会浮现。因此她认为性教育需要平衡呈现性的好处、机遇和风险。如果只谈论性的坏处，大众对其认知就会出现偏差。因此，改变社会对“性”的负面看法，才有可能减少因社会压力导致的弃婴现象。

“ 我们对于未成年怀孕是觉得很肮脏的，并觉得是一件羞耻的事情，当有人做出了未成年怀孕的行为时，他/她就会因逃避社会异样的眼光而选择遗弃婴儿。” 旨慈希望能够加强性教育的普及，以改变大众对未成年怀孕的刻板印象，并消除对未婚妈妈的偏见，给予她们更多心理和经济上的支持。

Wong Zhi Ci, a graduate of a Malaysian independent Chinese high school for two years, revealed that she was introduced to sex education through biology classes and counselling classes. She mentioned that her parents and teachers served as beacons of light in her sex education journey, though they guided her in different directions. Her parents focused on the psychological aspects, reminding her of important considerations regarding sex, while her teachers focused on imparting physiological knowledge, establishing her foundational understanding of sex education.

Don't Stigmatize Sex

In addition to the existing sex education content, Zhi Ci mentioned that exploring the topics of gender diversity and the origins of sex should be included, as these are not mentioned in the current school curriculum. She also pointed out that in eastern education, "sex" is a taboo topic, often associated with negative stereotypes like "dirty" and "pervert." Therefore, she believes sex education should present a balanced view of the benefits, opportunities, and risks of sex. Focusing only on its negative aspects can lead to a biased understanding among the public. Changing society's negative perception of sex is essential to reducing cases of baby abandonment due to social pressure.

"We view teenage pregnancy as something dirty and shameful. When someone becomes pregnant as a teenager, they may choose to abandon their baby to avoid social stigma." Zhi Ci hopes to enhance the prevalence of sex education for changing the public's stereotypes about teenage pregnancy, while eliminating prejudice against unwed mothers, providing them with more psychological and economic support.
