KOTA KINABALU: The public may want to consider not planting fruit trees that monkeys love, to prevent the primates from entering their backyards and homes, says Sabah Wildlife Department Augustine Tuuga.

He said these measures may be troublesome but would be worth it if the public did not want monkeys to keep disrupting their lives or stealing their food.
