Floating Mattress saves Malaysian baby ...

[auntAgonist]

Kuala Lumpur - A 20-day-old baby sleeping on a mattress survived when she floated to safety after Malaysia's Penang Island was hit by killer tidal waves, local media reported on Tuesday.

S Tulasi was sleeping in a room behind her father's food stall on Penang's popular Batu Ferringhi beach when the waves hit.

"We were all caught off guard. I was thrown several metres away but managed to hold onto one of the posts," A Suppiah, 55, was quoted as saying by the Bernama news agency.

His wife, Annal Mary, 40, fought her way through the swirling waters to the room where the baby was sleeping.
