Dear Dr Mat, I'm assisting a reporter from The Guardian UK with a story on "KL's relationship with monkeys - how humans and monkeys live so close, what factors affect them and the city, who wants to see them gone, who wants to save them etc". Would you be available for an interview? Kindly email me at jasminelow (at) gmail.com thank you!
