1.1 Introduction
Child abandonment or baby dumping is the act of relinquishing interests and claims over one's offspring with the intent of never again resuming or reasserting them for an extended period of time, a child younger than 12 months of age in a public or private setting with the intent to dispose of the child. An abandoned child is called a foundling (as opposed to a runaway or an orphan). According to reliable statistics, at least one baby is abandoned weekly which causes include many social and cultural factors as well as mental illness.
Statistics showed that from 2005 until current, there were 472 babies abandoned by their irresponsible parents of which, 258 were dead and 214 are still alive. One major factor to baby dumping cases is the increasing number of babies conceived out of wedlock, which Hospital Kuala Lumpur has recorded 301 cases of such births this year of which, 34 babies were delivered by under-18 mothers.
472 cases of baby dumping and what the public doesn t know are that abortions can reach up to 300 cases a day. These are real issues related to baby dumping that the public are not aware. There were almost equal numbers of male and female infants involved, leaving them either dead or homeless.
Police say a majority of baby-dumping cases involve Malays, which observers say is the result of the stigma of illegitimate children and the community being ill equipped to deal with unwanted pregnancies. While there is no actual racial breakdown available because it is often difficult to determine the race of the babies, police say anecdotal evidence and prosecutions show the majority involves Malays. According to the policemen, 13 out of 65 cases in 2010 involving the dumping of newborns have resulted in prosecutions. All of the accused were Malays. A total of 67 cases were recorded in 2005, 83 cases in 2006, 76 in 2007, 102 in 2008 and 79 in 2009 and increasingly happening in until the current.
Statistics Statistics shows that Selangor has recorded the highest number of baby dumping cases which is 122 cases from the year 2005 to 2010. Whereas Johor 83 cases, Sabah 65, Sarawak 34, Negeri Sembilan 24, Pulau Pinang 22, Perak 19, Pahang and Kedah 17, Kelantan 10, Terengganu 5, Melaka 3, Kuala Lumpur 2 and Perlis 1. Total up from all these states, there are 407 cases of baby dumping from the year of 2005 to 2010.

EXTREME CELEBRATION OF EVENTS Occasions such as Valentine s Day, Birthday Parties, New Year Celebrations, and etc. are the factors that causes baby dumping. These occasions are usually been celebrated in extreme manners and encouraged liberal socializing and free sex, which resulted in the act of baby dumping. The cultures, which originated from the West, did not suit well in our Eastern culture world, especially in a country where 60 percent of the populations are Muslims..
POVERTY Poverty is also a factor that causes child dumping. Persons in cultures with poor social welfare systems who are not financially capable of taking care of a child are more likely to dump him/her. Political conditions, such as difficulty in adoption proceedings, may also contribute to child dumping, as can the lack of institutions, such as orphanages, to take in children whom their parents cannot support. Societies with strong social structures and liberal adoption laws tend to have lower rates of child dumping.
SEXUAL ABUSE Sexual abuse can eventually lead to baby dumping. After using the girls to please their sexual desires, the boys would be in the dark and disappears without leaving a trace. Girls will dump their babies often because they felt betrayed and used by their child s father. No one
CYBERWORLD The cyber world is also one of the catalysts of baby dumping. Everyone has easy access to the Internet especially pornography, cyber dating, and video games. Pirated CDs and DVDs are also ways of influencing the minds of younger generation. As we all know, teenagers are easily influenced by their friends. When friends recommend something interesting, we will first try it out. Then it will develop in an addiction. Eventually, that something will turn into a habit.
LACK OF SEXUAL EDUCATION Teenagers are not exposed to sexual education as some parents and teachersfeel shy and awkward to talk about sex with an underage. It is very important that these teenagers are to be taught about sex at early age to prevent baby dumping cases keep on happening .
In conclusion, baby dumping is morally and physically wrong. Teenagers should keep a distance from crimes. They have to learn to be responsible for what they have done and think maturely on the pros and cons before jumping to a conclusion. They should be able to differentiate what is good what is bad. All in all, parents and schools must play their roles in fighting baby dumping cases by imposing enough sex education for their children and always beware on their children's actions. We should put a stop on baby dumping and start to see these infants as gifts to be treasured. After all, they are your own inheritor.

Mass media Mass media also is one of the ways to prevent baby from being abandoned. It is the nearest medium and the best way to communicate and educate teenagers. It all about how to protect themselves and give useful knowledge to avoid from involve in anything that can take them to this problem. Besides that, the suitable sex therapists or psychologist could be presenters of a special programme on sex education and set the stage for more personal discussions in homes and schools.
The Government The government also must involve overcoming this problem from step by step and taking this matter seriously. Baby hatch is indeed good way to help single mother who cannot afford to take care the baby and nowadays Sekolah Harapan and Kewaja has already been opened for person who involved in unwanted pregnancy.
Objective Enhancing the awareness of the people in giving more value and love to their babies and children.
Aim To encourage teenagers who are experiencing this problem to choose other alternatives besides dumping their babies.

3.3 History
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is a global American pharmaceutical, medical devices and consumer packaged goods manufacturer founded in 1886. Itscommon stock is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the company is listed among the Fortune 500. Johnson & Johnson consistently ranks at the top of Harris Interactive's National Corporate Reputation Survey ranking as the world's most respected company by Barron's Magazine, and was the first corporation awarded the Benjamin Franklin Award for Public Diplomacy by the U.S. State Department for its funding of international education programs. A suit brought by the United States Department of Justice in 2010, however, alleges that the company from 1999 to 2004 illegally marketed drugs including antipsychotics to Omnicare, a pharmacy that dispenses the drugs in nursing homes. Johnson & Johnson responded that the payments were lawful and appropriate. The corporation's headquarters is located in New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States. Its consumer division is located in Skillman, New Jersey. The corporation includes some 250 subsidiary companies with operations in over 57 countries. Its products are sold in over 175 countries. Johnson & Johnson had worldwide pharmaceutical sales of $24.6 billion for the full-year 2008. Johnson & Johnson's brands include numerous household names of medications and first aid supplies. Among its well-known consumer products are the Band-Aid Brand line of bandages, Tylenol medications, Johnson's baby products, Neutrogena skin and beauty products, Clean & Clear facial wash and Acuvue contact lenses.
Before the "Merdeka" era, imported Johnson & Johnson surgical dressings, baby and sanitary protection products could be found in hospitals and homes of families in Malaya, Singapore, Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei. These were distributed through J&J's distribution agent, The Borneo Company.
Johnson & Johnson Malaya Limited was incorporated in 1960 and continued sales through its distributors.
In February 1962, the company with a work force of 50 employees commenced manufacturing operations from a single-storey office block and factory occupying a 4.8 acre land at Jalan Tandang, Petaling Jaya.
As the company grew, the agency distributorship was terminated and the Company assumed its own direct selling activities in Peninsular Malaysia in July 1976, establishing its own depot network in Butterworth, Ipoh, Malacca and Kuantan.
As the business continued to grow in the 80's, it was supported not only with increased employee headcount but also in expansion of its facilities which included the extended office block, new canteen, warehouse extension, provision of air-condition to the factory and improved parking lots.
Today, the Company has established a leadership position in the health care industry. This is the fruit of its employees' dedication, teamwork and its commitment towards "The Signature of Quality" to continually provide its customers with the best, most innovative products and services.
3.5 Vision
y
Johnson & Johnson s vision is to be a source of innovation for emerging markets and address the unique needs of Asia Pacific patients. This might include devices for specific disease states that are prevalent in Asia, simplified and smaller instruments, multi-use or disposable products that are more economical, or a product range for rural health centers.
In June 2011, a Medical Devices and Diagnostics R&D center will open in Suzhou, China, focused on market-appropriate innovation for fast-growing emerging markets. Functions to support this innovation will also be based on the campus, including new product development and marketing, clinical research, regulatory, quality assurance and operations. Johnson & Johnson has also entered into pharmaceutical research partnerships that connect biotech, medical and academic communities to its global research centers. One is a partnership in cancer research formed in 2008 with Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital in China. In November 2010, research collaboration between Tsinghua University in China and Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V. was announced. This five-year strategic partnership aims to accelerate discovery research and foster new therapeutic approaches for infectious diseases, an area of significant unmet medical need and one where we feel we can contribute positively to public health goals in China. In 2009, Johnson & Johnson established a first-of-its-kind late-phase chemical entity facility, Analytical and Pharmaceutical Development Center, in Mumbai, India. The center will play a key role in addressing major global health care challenges, many of which also face Mumbai and the region. For the consumer sector, the Emerging Market Innovation Center that opened in Shanghai in 2007 is built on a consumer closeness and bonding program, an integral part of emerging market product design and development to meet needs in China.
