I was excited to have the opportunity to visit my ex-
schoolmate’s house which is located at a luxury
condominium in the heart of the city.
Flats, apartments , villas and condominiums are considered
as high rise buildings where people live above each other
like a stack of lego blocks.
I had been staying on land house since I was born.
Hence, I never had the experience of living in high rise
building houses as these stacked up blocks which looks
similar to pigeon holes to me aren’t cheap either.
Nowadays apartments, villas and condominiums are costly,
the value of each floor varies in prices which could cost
more than houses on land.
However, living in high rise buildings is a different
experience compare to houses on land.
My friend told me that once you started to live in high rise
buildings, there are precaution rules that the residents had
to take note for safety purposes.
In Singapore alone, almost 85% of people are living in
high rise buildings while Malaysia, most people are still
living on land as the prices of high rise buildings are
equivalent to semi-detached and bungalow houses.
Whether you are living in flats, apartments , villas and
condominiums, remember that you are living in the sky.
Your house is hanging up in the air and if you are not
careful, you may fall to your death as news reports of
maids and kids accidentally fell down from high rise
buildings due to negligence and carelessness of employers
and parents.
Big cupboards, Chinese prayer big cans, big potted plants
and shoe wears ( slippers, sandals, shoes ) may block the
escape routes especially the stairs if fire hazard occurs.
Residents will stumble and fall while running for their
lives and hurt themselves while these items blocked their
ways.
When your kids or toddlers are playing near the balcony,
make sure that they do not climb on stools, chairs,
furniture or potted plants to climb over the wall.
Accidental deaths usually occur when no one is watching
over the kids and even teens.
Maids and housewives who are cleaning the windows and
balconies, please refrain yourself from standing on the
stool or lean out the windows. This is a very dangerous act.
You are not WonderWoman or BatWoman. You are neither
a bird either. Use a long pole with brush or wipes to clean
the windows instead.
balcony:
Be civic minded. Remember that residents are walking
downstairs on the ground. Throwing cigarette buds, canned
drinks, trash may hurt the below passer by without
knowing.
of the balconies or windows:
Same problem. If you accidentally pushed the pot without
knowing or cats push it down, someone is definitely going
to break his head for sure!
Mishaps often occur when someone is careless in handling
these flower pots.
Never place flower pots on the edges of the balconies.
The victims on the ground might die instantly from the
weight of the flower pot that fell down.

The safety tips are really commendable to people who live in high buildings. I. myself never tried to live in high structured buildings. Of course, if I am booked to live in hotels or do some errands in the buildings; then that's the time I need to have these safety tips. Your friend has a point on this. I had read or watch news some accidents that happened in tall buildings as you had mentioned.
