woman hovering over a new-born lying within a kind of out-sized microwave

nutrients not visible.
The penultimate paragraph: “An average of 100 babies are dumped every year in Malaysia and more than 50% do not survive.”
And the last paragraph: “OrphanCare runs baby hatches in Petaling Jaya, Johor Bahru and Sungai Petani…”
….Facility adopted from where?... They didn’t dream this up here that was for sure.
