Monkeys On Causeway “Trying To Get Home” Before Malaysia Lockdown
The chaos on the Woodlands Causeway on Tuesday (18 Mar) was unprecedented, and involved scores of Malaysians trying to enter Singapore before the lockdown.
But amid the jam-packed human traffic were some non-human creatures that were just as eager to travel too.
A group of monkeys was seen attempting to make their way down the Causeway as well, defying the long queues of vehicles. At least that’s what can be surmised from this video posted that same night on Facebook by a netizen:
Hurrying back to Malaysia before the lockdown
In the accompanying caption, which is probably tongue-in-cheek, the original poster said that the monkeys were coming from Singapore, and they were hurrying back to Malaysia before the lockdown.
The caption also said they were using their “free international passport” to enter Malaysia.
Check out how the critters hurried past the queue of motorbike rides without having to queue.
Much to netizens’ amusement
The video of the monkeys prompted some amusement from netizens. One asked whether they needed to be fingerprinted.
While another opined that the monkeys were, like any human traveller, trying to get home before the lockdown.
Monkey business is a stress reliever
Amid the stress of the last few days, it’s nice that these monkeys have given people a much-needed laugh.
And as recent sightings of hornbills and otters have proven, people just can’t get enough of animals in weird places.
While it’s not certain whether the monkeys managed to get to their destination or not, let’s hope they are comfortable and well-fed wherever they are.
