There's some monkey business going on at this goreng pisang stall in Changi Village.
A monkey was recently caught stealing bananas from the hawker, leaving the stallholder feeling helpless after its "friends" came back for more.
A TikTok video shared on June 2 showed the primate stealthily grabbing a banana, climbing up to a beam and enjoying the fruit of its "labour", even when it was surrounded by pigeon repellents.
"Respect the hustle," said the TikTok user who posted the clip, which has since garnered over 200,000 views.
Several netizens appeared to be tickled by this monkey heist.
But it is no laughing matter for those who are working at the goreng pisang stall.
Speaking to Shin Min Daily News on June 4, an employee surnamed Wang said that she was busy manning the stall and did not notice the "monkey business" behind her.
Even the pigeon repellents installed on the stall's roof failed to deter the thief, the 40-year-old woman said, adding that another monkey returned for more bananas the next day.
"I have sought help from the authorities afterwards, hoping that they can help us resolve the issue," said Wang.
No morality, they were raised like monkeys.
That’s the point at which the store owner decides to inject a few bananas with some kind of ‘medicine’ and leave the fruit on display for the next round of Monkeyshines.
What was it Lady Godiva was supposed to have said
“Let Them Eat Bananas!” after a lovely snack, they take a nap, from which they never awake.
Just make sure the ‘medicated’ fruit is not sold to the public. No need to inadvertantly reduce your market base.
He only took one!
Monkeys are demanding their own pride month!

People like monkeys. Customers may not want to patronize a store that kills monkeys.
