Medical assistant forms bond with monkeys
FOR the past seven years, a mother of two would ride her motorcycle 13km from her home to Teluk Chempedak, Kuantan, just to feed about 200 monkeys there.
“I used to be afraid of them but this changed when I saw a female monkey cuddling its child which was injured after it was knocked down by a car,” Harian Metro quoted Jamilah Jantan as saying.
Jamilah, who works as a medical assistant, said it was now her daily routine to spend about three hours feeding the monkeys with food that she bought with her own money.
Some of these monkeys would obey her instructions while others would playfully sit on her shoulders or lap.
Jamilah has even given names to some of them.
