SINGAPORE: Fifty monkeys in Punggol were trapped by the authorities in 2024, and the majority of them were sterilised before being released, after these animals came into conflict with people in the area.
Some monkeys that showed more aggressive or intrusive behaviour were “removed” in view of public safety, said the National Development Minister Desmond Lee in a written parliamentary reply on March 4. He did not elaborate on what he meant by this.
