For close to four hours, they held on to their dear lives eight storeys high in 30 deg C heat.

The gondola they were standing in to perform maintenance works on a stadium floodlight had broken down and tilted at an angle.

There was no way down for the two Bangladeshi workers, Mr Akabbar Ali Liakat Ali and Mr Mohammed Mohzammel Haque Mohammed Mahshin Ali, who are in their early 30s.

But their ordeal at the Delta Sports Complex in Tiong Bahru was not over when Singapore Civil Defence Force personnel came to their rescue.

The workers had to climb down a 30m-long combined platform ladder on a fire engine because the ladder could not be lowered due to a glitch.
