KUALA LUMPUR - GIRLS as young as 11 were giving birth among Malaysia's Orang Asli, or 'original people,' a report said Saturday.

The New Straits Times quoted a government official as saying that he had been shocked during a recent visit to the Cameron Highlands to find mothers as young as 11 and 12 years old in the maternity ward of a local hospital.
