The boy was then treated for a chest infection while the authorities tried to trace his parents.
Aping said: ‘My brother and I found a small baby that was abandoned under the banana tree on the 25th last month. He was about two or three days old.
‘We sent the baby to the hospital and he was put in ICU. He recovered from an infection and he’s safe. I think he is in everybody’s heart.
‘I really hope the boy’s family, whoever left him, can know what’s happened. I believe the baby can have a bright future. His parents are the best people for that.
‘Even though this was a cruel thing to do they should get to their child and make things right.’

Hospital spokesman June Ou said the youngster was ‘healthy’ and that he had been given over to the authorities.
She said: ‘The baby’s case has been recorded and he is healthy. Only the parents are allowed to visit him. He is not in hospital anymore and has been taken so a social care home.’
