Social media’s reaction:

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.

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.
