A photographer and an artist get up to some ‘Monkey Business’ in Penang to throw a spotlight on peninsular Malaysia’s primatesGEORGE TOWN, Oct 4 — Malaysia has about 15 different species of primates spread out over the peninsula and in Borneo but not much is known about the primate population in West Malaysia.
He started documenting the primate species he came across the only way he knows how, through his photography. He then headed out to find more primates to photograph in 2021 and this culminated in his photo book titled “Primus” which came out last year with a foreword by Goodall. “It caught my attention and drew me in, its eyes just went deep into my soul and I knew I had to draw it,” she said.
