I went with friends to Kuala Selangor for seafood lunch. Before lunch we stopped at Bukit Melawati (Malawati) to see the silvered langurs. They are so cute and so tame. I've already posted an
album in 2010.
As it was a public holiday, no cars were allowed up the hill to Bukit Malawati, so we had to take the train. Whilst waiting you could buy food for the monkeys
The monkeys were waiting, right by where the train stops.
Some were in the trees, not bothered about food for now. I was surprised at the lack of long tailed macaques, there were very few, which is good, as they can be aggressive in their quest for food, unlike the more gentle langurs.
There are stalls selling food for the monkeys, they have a variety of long green beans, peanuts and bananas. This means the monkeys get a natural diet though I did see one tourist giving a monkey a bag of crisps. This one is eating a bean -
