We just heard that a boy got bitten after going too close to a monkey. He was reported to be only 5 metres away, taking photos of the monkey.

If you see monkeys, please don’t make eye contact with them, or bare your teeth by smiling. These are threatening behaviours to a monkey.

While our green spaces are decreasing, the monkeys can still find food, please don’t feed them. If you have fruit trees around, please harvest them soon, or request for National Parks Board to trim fruit trees by the roadsides.

And if you are returning from grocery shopping, use cloth bags instead of plastics. It’s environmentally friendly too!
