A MALAYSIAN woman fell to her death from the 11th floor of an apartment in Singapore after discovering her husband's extra-marital affair, reported China Press.

Xu Ya Niang, 54, was seen sitting on the edge of the kitchen's windowsill by her daughter before she fell to her death at 5.40pm on Sunday.

It is learnt that she had earlier confronted her husband over his alleged affair with another woman but he instead threatened to divorce her.

According to her daughter, Xu was depressed over the past few weeks after seeing her husband walking with a woman.

"We stopped her from committing suicide a few times before," said the daughter.

She said her father was aware that her mother was sitting on the windowsill as he was browsing the Internet in the living room.
