“A total of 25 officers and members along with three machines from the Hang Tuah and Pudu Fire and Rescue Stations were deployed to the scene.
“Upon arrival at the location, the 21-year-old man was standing at the end of the Sky Deck building, Menara Kuala Lumpur which is 300 meters high, believed to be trying to commit suicide,” he stated.
