A woman who was found sitting dangerously on a 16th-floor HDB stairwell ledge was rescued and taken to hospital on Monday (Sept 14) night.
The 41-year-old was subsequently apprehended under Section 7(1) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act 2008, the police said in response to AsiaOne's queries.
The woman was seen in the precarious position just after 9pm on Monday at Block 123B Rivervale Drive, reported Shin Min Daily News.
A resident living on the 17th floor, who gave her name as Feng Jingting (transliteration), told the Chinese paper that her son alerted her to the incident at about 11pm.
Feng, 63, said her neighbour saw the woman perched on the ledge. Police officers and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) personnel were at the scene.
A photograph obtained by Shin Min showed the woman sitting sideways on the railing, facing the stairwell.
When Feng later opened her door, she found SCDF officers outside her flat preparing rescue equipment.
"I heard the woman say, 'Nobody understands me' twice, then the police told me to close the door," the resident claimed.
She added that the woman was rescued at about 11.25pm.
The SCDF told AsiaOne it received a call for assistance at about 9.30pm on Monday.
It deployed nets, and rescuers from the Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) rappelled from the unit above to rescue the woman.
A safety life air pack was also set up at the foot of the block as a precautionary measure.

周一（9月14日）晚，一名女子被发现危险地坐在组屋16楼楼梯井的窗台上，随后被救出并送往医院。
警方在回复 AsiaOne 的询问时表示，这名 41 岁的男子随后根据 2008 年《精神健康（护理和治疗）法》第 7(1) 条被逮捕。
据《新明日报》报道，周一晚上9点刚过，有人在Rivervale Drive 123B座组屋附近看到这名女子处于危险的姿势。
一位住在17楼的居民，名叫冯静婷（音译），告诉这家中文报纸，她的儿子在晚上11点左右告诉她发生了这起事件。
63岁的冯女士说，她的邻居看到那名女子坐在窗台上。警方和新加坡民防部队人员已赶到现场。
《新明日报》获得的照片显示，这名女子侧身坐在栏杆上，面向楼梯间。
冯女士后来打开房门时，发现新加坡民防部队的队员们正在她公寓外准备救援设备。
“我听到那名女子说了两遍‘没人理解我’，然后警察让我把门关上，”这位居民声称。
她补充说，这名女子于晚上 11 点 25 分左右获救。
新加坡民防部队告诉亚洲新闻网，他们于周一晚上9点30分左右接到求助电话。
它展开了安全网，来自灾害援助和救援队 (DART) 的救援人员从上面的装置上绳降下来，救出了这名女子。
作为预防措施，还在楼脚设置了安全救生气囊。
