STOMPer Benjamin spotted this group of wild monkeys in a residential estate along Upper Thompson Road while visiting a friend. He was concerned that they could pose a danger, especially to young children living in the area.

The STOMPer said:

"I was at a friend's place located along Upper Thompson Road having dinner in the kitchen with his family when suddenly, his son, who's barely 2 years old shouted "Monkey! Monkey!" in excitement.

"My friend and I turned around and to our surprise, we saw a large grey adult monkey on the floor about five meters away from us.

"The monkey then slammed its hands on the floor and inched forward in an attempt to scare us.

"My friend shouted at it, upon which the monkey jumped away through the garden.

"We chased it up to the balcony and to our horror, we saw a GROUP of about six monkeys along the rooftop of the neighbours.

"According to my friend, this is not the first time it's happening and they have also reported it to the authorities, but the situation seemed to be getting worse as it is now a group rather then a single monkey running wild.

"I'm as concerned for my friend since he has a toddler in the house.

"I also understand that there are a number of toddlers living in his neighbourhood.

"These monkeys could be serious trouble if they start attacking the children around here like how the big grey one tried to inch forward earlier.

"I hope this post will alert residents living around the area to keep a lookout and watch their children closely."
