Separated by coronavirus, Malaysian mothers in Singapore freeze breast milk for babies at home by detectivejoe88 Daveena Kaur

SINGAPORE/JOHOR BARU, Malaysia - Before the outbreak of coronavirus this year, Malaysian accountant Jazerel See used to travel regularly between her country’s southern state of Johor and neighbouring Singapore where she worked, going home once a week to her parents and her seven-month-old boy.

See said the women, communicating via social media, then pooled together funds to ship supplies of frozen breast milk to their babies back home. An estimated half a million Malaysians live and work in Singapore, with thousands commuting regularly to the wealthy city-state from Johor. So far, four shipments totalling about 7,000 kilogrammes of milk have been sent from 200 mothers in Singapore, Johor state lawmaker Andrew Chen Kah Eng said. Such a shipment has never been made before, he said.
