A mother’s empathy: Ng says she has consulted a lawyer about the adoption process.

Kluang Municipal Council’s Mengkibol zone councillor Joan Ng, 40, said she was willing to take on the responsibility as the 28-year-old woman, who already has two children, could not afford to care for the baby after giving birth to him on June 5.
