Last Friday, a resident said he saw a monkey in his living room.
Then on Monday, a monkey was spotted climbing up a block of flats.
The Sembawang-Nee Soon Town Council said these sightings have so far been "isolated" and "sporadic".
In the second incident on Monday morning, a monkey was seen peering into units on the fourth and fifth storey and sticking its head through kitchen windows at Block 415, Yishun Avenue 11.
Student Jacob Yong, 23, was walking by the area at 10am when he noticed the monkey.
He told The New Paper: "I was surprised to see it climb so high. If it had fallen, it would have died."
It was the first time Mr Yong, who frequents the area, had seen a monkey in the estate.
It was also the first time he had seen a monkey climb a block of flats.
One of the flats which the monkey peered into belonged to sales executive Jovin Sng, 48.
She was not at home, but got a call from her part-time cleaner.
Madam Sng said: "I told her to close the windows immediately, so that the monkey couldn't enter. It might have been looking out for food."
She said the monkey probably came from Yishun Park, which is about 200m from the block.
Mr Yong said about six residents had gathered at the bottom of the block.
One even tried to distract the monkey by throwing an orange at it. It ignored the fruit, and eventually climbed down and went away, he said.
In the first incident, a monkey was seen at Block 350, Yishun Avenue 11, last Friday.
