Chance meeting solves baby mix-up

Teo Ma Leong always knew that he and his wife had brought the wrong baby home. But, 29 years ago, the hospital authorities had insisted that there was no mistake.

Then in 1998, one of his daughters spotted a younger version of him working in a shopping centre. Convinced he was the spitting image of their father, she brought the rest of her family along.



After watching from afar for a while, the Teos finally picked up the courage to speak to the young man.

His name was Zulhaidi Omar.

DNA tests confirmed he was Teo’s son.
