A Myanmar factory worker died after falling from the fifth floor of a flat unit at Block U, Taman Pelangi, Bukit Mertajam, in a fight believed to be during a drinking bout with a countryman yesterday.

"The victim sustained serious head injury, believed to be from the fall, and there were also stab wounds on the body," he said, adding the police noticed a man, also a Myanmar national, next to the victim when they arrived and seized a knife, believed to be used during the fight, from him.
