Monkeys Pillage Singapore
February 20th 2007 09:49
With monitor lizards, snakes, and bats prowling their parks, residents of tropical Singapore are no strangers to the occasional animal ambush.
However, gangs of long-tailed macaque monkeys have been causing havoc in housing estates bordering nature reserves; stealing food and brawling on the streets.
"They roam the estate in groups of up to 20 _- rampaging the estate and turning over dustbins," one irate local was quoted in local newspapers as saying.
"They enter the house, open cupboards, steal food and soil the premises".
Picnics are spoiled and snacks are snatched from bags while golfers tee off.
Even the British Club has armed staff with brooms to shoo monkeys away from the gourmet buffet.

I say monkeys are the modern day pirates. I bet we'll read on the news that they started raping women.
