SINGAPORE - Food, drinks, and now electronic devices - these are a few of a monkey’s favourite things.
The incident took place on the evening of April 16 at the second level of The Hive, a building located in NTU, which has been nicknamed the “dim sum basket building” because of its structure. The building, in the south-west corner of the campus, is a stone’s throw from Yunnan Garden. In an advisory issued to NTU students on April 20, the university urged students to stay at least three metres away from the animals and to not taunt or maintain direct eye contact with them.
In June 2022, it was reported that the university had worked with NParks to relocate two of the three frequently sighted macaques on its grounds to nature conservation areas.
