MALACCA, MALAYSIA - The state has come up with another tourism product to draw in the visitors.
From this month, tourists visiting the Sungai Udang Tropical Fruit Garden here will have the chance of seeing monkeys climb up coconut trees to pluck the fruits.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said for a week visitors would also be served the fruits plucked by the monkeys to quench their thirst.
He said to date there were five monkeys at the garden and more would be added later.
"The five monkeys were bought for between RM400 (SGD164) and RM2,000 each," he said after receiving a female monkey named Mek Wok at his official residence, Seri Bendahara, in Ayer Keroh yesterday.
He said trainer Mohd Zahari Ahmad Sidek, 46, from Kelantan, had been appointed to organise the shows at the fruit garden.
