IPOH: The Sungai Perak Rest and Service Area (R&R) northbound on the North-South Expressway will be temporarily closed on Tuesday (July 14) to facilitate an operation to address disturbances caused by wild monkeys.

In a notice, PLUS Malaysia Berhad (PLUS) said the operation would be carried out in collaboration with the Sungai Siput Department of Wildlife and National Parks.

The operation is scheduled to take place from 2.30pm to 5pm.
