On April 23, 2015, at about 1 pm, a three-year-old baby named Naurah Fitria Aun was seen crying, stuck and hanging between rails of drying racks at the balcony of a second-floor apartment.
The video shows how desperate and struggling the baby was, a woman who first saw the child screams hysterically for help. Two men tried to help by climbing the second floor but not strong enough and failed. While witnesses are frantic for help, someone went upstairs to knock on the door but no-one answered.
Fortunately, a road repair was ongoing nearby, when one of the three foreign construction workers identified by Asia One as Subramaniam Shanmuganathan from Bangladesh heard the cries and without question runs to help save the baby.
