Singapore - An Indonesian maid survived a fall from her employer's ninth-storey flat in Singapore, a media report said Sunday.

The 23-year old, who was not identified, was found Friday at the foot of the apartment block with bamboo poles and clothes beside her, indicating that she fell while trying to collect laundry, the Sunday Times newspaper reported.

The maid suffered fractures to her legs and pelvic bone, it said.

The accident happened one day after another maid fell to her death while cleaning a sixth-floor window in Singapore. - Sapa-dpa
