Museum to test walk baby girl

Thu, 13 Dec 2001

SEMARANG, Central Java: Authorities are to investigate claims that a seven-month old baby girl has managed to walk.

Paulus Pangka, the manager of Central Java's Indonesian Record Museum (MURI) in Semarang, said its office would conduct a validity test on Aulia Valeda Charmen, born on Apr. 19, 2001, to determine whether she was really capable of walking.

Community leaders would watch Aulia's attempt to walk, Paulus said. "If the baby is proven able to walk, her achievement will be recorded at MURI."

The achievement of Aulia, a daughter of a couple living on Jalan Gebangsari in Genuk subdistrict, if proven, will be considered unique in Indonesia as babies are not normally able to walk till they are at least one-year old. --Antara
