MIRI: A 51-year-old lorry driver was shocked when he spotted a Bengal slow loris clinging onto a telecommunication tower near the Senadin traffic light intersection yesterday.
The encounter was made around 9.24am.
It appeared to be that the frightened creature was trapped and could not move off the tower. Worried that the animal might electrocute itself, the lorry driver immediately called the Civil Defence Force (APM) for help.
Upon responding to the alert, three APM personnel arrived at the location around 10.03am. Upon their arrival, the slow loris appeared to be unharmed and was still holding onto the tower.
It took them less than 20 minutes to pull it away from the tower safely. The slow loris was later released in a nearby jungle.
