actually talking about a kind of 'pulley that can hang wet clothes then can withdraw in/out via the pulley to dry the clothes under the sun.. its so convenient!! My aunt has one but she said that no longer available..
I feel my mum needs it, I want to purchase the set for her to replace the bamboo poles, I feel those bamboo poles with wet clothes too heavy!
know what I'm talking? who has it too? any idea where am I able to purchase it..

You could probably make your own quite easily. Go to Homely Hardware... large selection of pulleys and lots of different kinds of rope. Fasten pulley to bamboo pole. Run rope through pulley. Put bamboo pole out the window. Will need to be able to tie down the ends of the rope.

Great insights. I am very sure that such a pulley system can be easily assembled by oneself as well.

Doesn't sound very challenging
(Oh I forgot that in SG 'DIY' refers to clearing your own tray at the food court.
Hey here's an idea, get your Domestic Helper to do it for you, maybe while at it you can also ask her to teach you which end of a screwdriver you're meant to hold. You know 'DIY babysteps with Maria 1.01.1'

Exactly! That is what I was saying. How hard can it be to DIY a contraption that supports at least 50kg of wet clothes outside the window of a high rise apartment?
Yup, even my domestic helper can do it. Just get our strongest rubber bands and buy a few pulleys ....
And how did you know that every S'porean has a maid!?? You are really so intelligent!
