RI maid falls from S'pore flat, survives

SINGAPORE: An Indonesian maid believed to be cleaning windows in
a Singapore flat fell three storeys and survived, news reports
said on Friday.

The 26-year-old woman was in stable condition at the National
University Hospital.

She had clung to a louvre after she fell on Thursday, but lost
her grip and tumbled down, hitting a concrete parapet on the
second floor, The Straits Times said.

A neighbor who ran to help the maid said blood was oozing from
her nose and ears, her arm appeared to be broken and she was
badly cut. The maid had been with the family for only a few
months.

An elderly woman was reportedly in the flat with her two
grandsons at the time of the incident. --DPA
