Talk about a concrete jungle – monkeys were seen scaling down a block of flats as easily as they do trees. The agility of the tribe of long-tailed macaques that climbed down the block of flats at Jalan Besar on Saturday was captured by an awestruck Ms Victoria Loh...

“I am wondering where are they coming from and now going to?” asked one viewer of Ms Loh’s video.

According to the NParks website, the long-tailed macaque is the only commonly seen species of monkey in Singapore. Its population numbers some 1,500 individuals. Most dwell in and on the fringes of our rainforest nature reserves – the Bukit Timah and the Central Catchment Nature Reserves. They also occupy parks such as Bukit Batok Nature Park, Yishun Park and Admiralty Park, as well as Sisters Islands and Pulau Ubin.Many were impressed by the monkeys’ litheness and nimbleness.

“What in the Mission Impossible is this?” commented one person, referring to actor Tom Cruise’s infamous stunts in the spy movie franchise.“Building inspection mobile unit,” said a user.“How many 'wows' actually,” said a commenter. “A lot, because they were right in front of me and I was so afraid that they would jump on me,” replied Ms Loh with a laughing emoji.
