SIBU: A monitor lizard was found occupying a toilet in a house at Jalan Fong Ming this morning.
A resident, who wanted to use the facility, was surprised by the sight of a monitor lizard when opening the toilet door.
Reacting quickly, the resident slammed the door shut and promptly contacted the Civil Defence Force (APM) for assistance, alerting them to the bizarre intrusion at 11.13 am.
A team from APM Sibu was despatched to the residence and they managed to capture the unwelcome guest.
The reptile, weighing about 5kg, was later released into its natural habitat, away from the residential area.
APM Sibu reminded the people to contact its hotline at 084-220044, in the event of emergencies in their area.
