KANOWIT, Malaysia - It took almost 30 hours, but firemen finally managed to persuade an Indonesian man to climb down from a 100m-tall telecommunications tower at Bukit Memaloh here Tuesday (Jan 21)

Kanowit Fire and Rescue Station chief Arrahman Chik said his officers stayed up all night with the man, believed to be suffering from depression, who had refused to climb down since climbing up at 8am Monday (Jan 20).
