The monkeys at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) have officially upgraded from petty theft to financial crime. In an incident that's equal parts hilarious and bewildering, these cheeky primates decided that stealing snacks was too basicthey went straight for the money.
According to a TikTok video posted by @nourdaiana, a group of monkeys at UKM steals cash from the students on campus without their knowledge. But when they realized they'd been busted, these furry felons made a calculated decision: they "deposited" the money on a nearby roof.
While the rooftop money drop is comedy gold, it highlights a real issue. Long-tailed macaques at Malaysian campuses are getting bolder, graduating from food theft to grabbing anything within reachbags, phones, and now cash.
Stay Safe Around Campus Monkeys
Don't feed them; it encourages bad behavior
Secure your belongings; if they can grab it, they will
Avoid eye contact; they see it as a threat
Let them have it, your safety beats any possession (you might find it on a roof later anyway)
The monkeys at UKM have proven they're watching, learning, and evolving their criminal enterprises.
