GEORGE TOWN: A three-year-old girl, who fell from an escalator at the Kompleks Bukit Jambul on Sunday, is still in critical condition.
Penang Hospital director Datuk Dr Norsidah Ismail said the girl has undergone a CT scan today, Harian Metro reported.
"She is still in critical condition, although she is showing positive signs.
"The girl is still undergoing treatment and has been placed in the paediatric intensive care unit. We are monitoring her condition throughout," she said.
