The man, aged 23, had climbed out from his 11th-floor bedroom in Kenanga Apartments at about 9 am and then climbed down to the 8th-floor from outside, according to the Star Online. Puchong Bomba station chief Mohd Hisam said the man then tried to climb back up to his window but was too tired. So he sat on the ledge by an air-conditioning unit as residents called authorities for help.
While the skilled Bomba men were simply doing their job, the news of their good deed didn't go unnoticed among Malaysians who took to The Star Online's Facebook page to shower praise on them:
