Kuala Lumpur - Malaysian police have rescued five babies and detained 15 people believed to be part of a baby-selling syndicate headed by a doctor, a news report said Monday. Police revealed Monday that the arrests, which also included two childless couples who were allegedly customers of the syndicate, were made earlier this month following investigations and public tip-offs.

The syndicate was believed to have recruited women from the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia to bear and then sell their offspring back to the syndicate for 5,000 ringgit (1,430 dollars), federal criminal investigations chief Bakri Zinin was quoted as saying by the Star online news portal.
