Monkeys enter Changi Airport, viral video shows woman calmly ‘talking’ to one

Encounters between humans and monkeys can often be surprisingly sweet and amicable. One such example was recently seen at Singapore’s Changi Airport. A video circulating on social media captured an airport staff calmly guiding a monkey towards the exit at the international airport.
Originally posted on TikTok, it didn’t take long for the footage to reach other social media platforms. A post was also shared on the Instagram page Mothership.
The video captured the woman, dressed in uniform, politely and calmly guiding a monkey towards the exit. It is unclear whether the woman had proper training to handle a primate, but her gesture has won people’s hearts.

The video prompted likes and views. It further acquired several comments from people. While many praised the woman for her presence of mind, a few couldn’t help but take the route of hilarity.
An individual joked, “He was searching for his missing Banana that’s worth $8.3 million,” referencing a recent incident in which Crypto mogul Justin Sun ate a banana artwork that he purchased for 6.2 million dollars. The artwork Comedian by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan was a banana duct taped onto a white wall.
Another posted, “It’s the gesturing towards the exit that got me.” A third commented, “People around are just going on as if it’s just another day at Changi Airport.” A fourth wrote, “Animal or human, courtesy is important!”
A monkey roaming around inside the Changi Airport in Singapore is reportedly not a one-off incident. Earlier, other macaques were spotted at different parts of this major international airport.
