SINGAPORE: A Bangladeshi worker had been cycling home after buying lunch when he came across a crowd gathered under Block 350C Canberra Road, most with their phones out, taking photos and videos.

Following their gaze, Jahir, 34, who goes by only one name, was alarmed to see a three-year-old boy standing on the third-storey ledge of the flat, frozen in shock and staring blankly ahead.
