Police also arrested four women, including a 37-year-old Singaporean believed to be the middleman for the baby-for-sale activity.
South Klang OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Mat Yusop said police surveillance led them to a cafe at the mall, where the Singaporean was spotted with three other local women.
"Many photos of babies were found on the Singaporean's mobile phone, more than 10. And there were messages indicating transactions took place," he said.
ACP Mohamad added that the local women were believed to be the nannies of the babies.
The 22-day-old baby was found with his birth certificate and passport, while the other baby, also a boy, had no documentation.
It is believed that the babies were sold by their parents to the middleman, and not abducted, he added.
The case is being investigated under Section 14 of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act.
The babies were sent to the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital for a DNA test and medical check-up, and handed over to the Welfare Department.
