The incident took place inside Terminal 1 at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Malaysia on 29th July, with images showing the small simian climbing along sunbeams high up in front of a huge terminal window.

Airport officials took to social media and said: “Poor buddy! Must be feeling completely overwhelmed! Hang in there! We are getting the abang specialists from Jabatan Perhilitan to rescue you!”

They added: “To all passengers at KLIA T1, our airport team is on the ground to monitor the situation. Please stay calm and do not worry. Help is on the way for our little lost friend.”
