They sell cheap watches, cheap cameras and cheap babies in Malaysia

A baby boy with a deformed leg was sold for RM6,000 in Klang, Oriental Daily reported.

The amount is low. A healthy baby boy can normally fetch up to RM20,000 in the black market, the paper added.

The five-month-old baby was sold to a childless couple from Singapore last November.

However, before the deal could be sealed, police moved in to cripple the syndicate on April 6.

They traced the baby to the Perdana Villa apartment at about 5.45am on Tuesday.
