Bukit Timah Monkey Man
The Bukit Timah Monkey Man (BTM) is Singapore's most famous cryptid, said to inhabit the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Described as an upright-walking monkey-faced hominid standing 1-2 meters tall, the creature has been reportedly sighted since 1805, with the most recent report in 2020. During World War II, Japanese soldiers claimed to have seen the creature. Despite extensive folklore and media coverage, expeditions have failed to produce conclusive evidence. The reserve suggests misidentified macaques, but believers point to the creature's size and upright posture as distinguishing features
