Jurong West resident Muklis was jolted awake from his midday siesta on Dec 8 by the urgent shouts of two passers-by who asked him to close his windows and doors immediately.
After ensuring all his windows were tightly shut, Mr Muklis called the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society hotline. The Acres wildlife rescue team arrived about 20 minutes later, with a ladder in tow, he said. Mr Kamalakannan Raja, president of the Herpetological Society of Singapore, a reptile and amphibian interest group, said that despite such encounters, pythons are not to be feared.
