Toddler fell to death 2 months after maid saved his life

Question is
Have we take our own family safety for granted? -

Those who are trying to blame the developer are pointing fingers in the wrong direction. Not everyone has children so they cannot be expected to build everything to those standards. It is the parents' responsibility.
It is very wrong to blame the developer. It is the parents' responsibility to look after their own kids. For this case, it is the window grilles in private estate...what if it is HDB flat? As long as there are young children, there are always dangers in the house. -

I do not know about HDB laundry deathtraps, whatever these are?
Those little sockets where one is supposed to put the bamboo poles into - that cause a few people to fall to their deaths every year putting out the laundry. -

More so on a strong windy day -
I have forbidden my maid to open the window grill to hang clothes outside.
we just hang the clothes inside the house. I have a young and mischievous son at home. very worried to even think what will happen if the maid forgets to close and lock the window grill…
dont assume everyone will take safety as seriously as you…once something happens…you cannot rewind time…
better to be extra safe than sorry… -

I was very afraid of hanging clothes on the bamboo and put out in these when I was living in HDB flat.
Our place is super windy. Imagine a small petite girl (that's me donkey years ago lah
) doing laundry hanging.
Luckily ours is a corner unit with a long corridor so we hang our laundry in the corridor.
Up to now, I will have nightmares about windows falling off on windy days. -
