The problem of illicit sex, she said, is becoming increasingly serious, leading to problems in addition to unwanted pregnancies and births leading to baby-dumping and the spread of venereal diseases. <br /> <br />"I myself experienced this. A baby barely several hours old was dumped right across the road from my clinic. Of course, this was way before I become an assemblyperson," said the former general practitioner. <br /> <br />She blamed youths caught up in the 'culture' of celebrations and those parties that seek to profit from these 'celebrations'. <br /> <br />Halimah named Valentine's Day, Merdeka Day and New Year's Eve as being the traditional days when couples meet up and engage in illicit activities.
