She had complained about hearing voices in her head over the past week so her friend decided to take her to consult a medium on Tuesday.

The friend, a 50-year-old Singaporean man who declined to be named, said that he was carrying her on his motorcycle on the viaduct of West Coast Highway near VivoCity when she suddenly jumped off.

He said: "I felt my motorcycle shake and immediately braked and turned around. By that time, she was already at the railings.

"I shouted and pleaded for her not to jump but it was too late. She was gone."

The woman, Ms Ho Chieu, a 25-year-old Vietnamese who was on holiday here, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, the police said.
