Woman spotted squatting on ledge to clean window at Alexandra condo, draws concern from onlookers
A woman was seen squatting on a ledge to clean the exterior windows of a condominium unit at 370G Alexandra Road.
Stomper Anonymous spotted her by a window of The Anchorage at about 12.50pm on July 1.
"I was very worried about her," she told Stomp.
"Whether she is a helper or the owner of the unit, it's a very dangerous act."
She shared a video showing the woman wiping the window panes from the outside with a leg up on the ledge.
"If you want to clean this kind of high-rise building, use a long stick and just clean whatever you can reach," she pointed out.
She felt the woman was unnecessarily putting herself in danger, especially when the condominium engages professional cleaners to handle exterior window and wall cleaning using proper safety equipment.
"It shouldn't be done in that way."
While alarmed, the Stomper also expressed a kind of admiration for the woman's determination.
"She is brave lah, I must say she really cleaned the three window panels," she said.
"But the windows could be faulty, since this condo is very old. Some screw or hinge might just give way, and she might fall over while holding onto the window panel."
Adding that she "really felt scared" at that moment, she said: "I could not even approach her because she might get shocked and might lose her balance. Worse, right?"
