Is this monkey raising our national flag?

Is this monkey raising our national flag?
What an amusing sight! At first glance, it seems as if this monkey is raising Singapore's national flag, while a cat looks on.

STOMPer Pekakbadak, who observed this at Changi Village, says:

"Thought of sharing this interesting photo taken at Changi Village yesterday morning of a monkey and a cat.

"Looks as if the monkey just conducted a morning flag raising ceremony with the cat looking on.

"And since we are in a midst of celebrating our National Day, I think this shot looks appropiate for the occasion.

"Happy National Day!"

Is this monkey raising our national flag?

I wonder if this is the same long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) that I saw at Changi Village on 31st May.
