It was eventually captured with the help of the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES), said Changi Airport Group in response to Channel NewsAsia's queries.

"A monkey was sighted this morning at Changi Airport’s T3 Departure Check-in Hall," said the airport operator. "Changi Airport Group sought the assistance of the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES), who managed to capture the monkey safely."
