The Yishun Monkey That Climbed Up Top of HDB Block

A recent wildlife sighting in Singapore has highlighted the increasing interaction between urban life and natural habitats. Footage captured a monkey navigating the exterior of an HDB block, an incident that has garnered significant attention due to its sheer scale.

Further investigation confirmed the location as an HDB block along Yishun Avenue 6. Property research shows that the highest residential level of this particular estate is typically the 12th floor. The video confirms the monkey had successfully scaled at least 10 storeys high, representing a remarkable and unprecedented level of vertical intrusion into a residential area. Authorities have reminded the public not to feed wildlife, as such behaviors encourage them to venture deeper into human-populated zones in search of food. The incident serves as a sharp reminder for residents to secure their windows and to contact the relevant agencies if they encounter wild animals in high-rise buildings.
