Do you know why u get sore throat after eating durians?
Your body is poisoned by the pesticides that are sprayed on the durian flowers and soil. Black-heart durian farmers added banned chemicals so that they don't lose a single durian flower to squirrels, birds, etc.

pesticides don't kill the tree. It is not very possible to wrap durian in plastics because of the height.
The objective of pesticides is to protect the flowers. You don't really find birds and squirrels in durian plantations because of this reason.
!Durians in Singapore safe to eat, says AVA in response to Malaysian insecticide rumours

SINGAPORE - Durian lovers in Singapore can eat the pungent fruit without fear, as the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) has dispelled rumours that suggested there were high levels of insecticide in Malaysia's Musang King or Mao Shan Wang durians.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday night (Nov 21), the AVA said durians in Singapore are safe to eat.
"Some durian lovers have come across rumours about high levels of insecticide in Malaysia's Musang King durians, and asked if it is safe to consume durians imported from Malaysia," it said.
AVA said it regularly inspects and conducts sampling of imported fruits, including durians.
This is to ensure the fruits comply with food safety standards and requirements.
Samples are tested for the presence of pesticide residues, microbial contamination and other possible non-permitted chemicals.
Those that do not make the cut will not be allowed for sale.
A viral message posted online claimed "China rejected all the Musang durians" due to high levels of insecticide detected in the fruit.
"That is why the durians (were) returned to Malaysia and (are) now selling at (a) cheap price... So eat at your own discretion," said a Facebook post by a page called Our Singapore.
Durian farmers told Malaysian news site New Straits Times in a report on Saturday that the rumour was false.
One farmer pointed out that the durian shown in the viral picture is not even of the Musang King variety.

This is a more recent article for durians tested by Japan. Just sharing
The Ministry of Health Labour and Welfare of Japan recently found pesticide residue in exported durian and other processed products. It issued a warning letter that if Thailand's durian is not safe for the consumer, all durian from the country will be quarantined. https://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/1716599/shocking-use-of-pesticides-continues
These Jiuhu kias are millionaires pretending to be poor ‘farmers’ to Vice Beedio!
While the gold has since dwindled, the district is now world-famous for another precious commodity – the Musang King durian.
Dubbed as the Musang King hub of Malaysia, this town in the east Malaysian state of Pahang, has been blessed with the right conditions to grow the durian brand that is popular in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore.
The Musang King – or Mao Shan Wang – is popular among consumers for its creamy texture and bright-yellow appearance.
And the export of these durians has become a booming business for Raub entrepreneurs, some of whom are now among Malaysia’s wealthiest fruit farmers.
One example is Mr Jovi Kong, who owns two durian farms in Raub, totaling 85 acres. He started planting durians 10 years ago, and he already owns two landed properties – one in Raub and another in Kuala Lumpur - and drives luxury cars.
“Raub is very different from other Malaysian towns, the people living here are rich. There’s enormous spending power in this town and it’s all because of the durians,” said the 44-year-old.
Mr Kong told CNA that most plantation owners in Raub are millionaires, based on the values of the property and land they own.
He showed this reporter a picture of his bungalow house in Raub – a three-storey modern structure with two garages, but declined for the property to be photographed.
He added that the land in Raub was “invaluable”, and pledged not to sell his plantations unless he gets an offer in excess of RM10 million.
“One acre of a Musang King plantation is worth RM 500,000 these days, and most owners have 10 acres or more,” he said.
His durian farm, 5S Durian Station, located near the base of tourist hotspot Fraser Hill, welcomes visitors by the bus loads of around 200 people each time. The visitors are mostly from China, and the guided tours are arranged around twice every week.

He said that he generates revenue of “a few hundred thousand ringgit” every year from exporting durians to China, Hong Kong and Singapore, and these earnings are supplemented by tourist visits to his farm charged at RM50 per head.
Mr Lu Yuee Thing, another Raub plantation owner, told CNA that he has farmed durians in the area for 40 years.
His farm – Uncle Thing Durian Leisure Farm – grows largely Musang King and Black Thorn varieties. Both are premium durians which are popular among China and Hong Kong importers.

Mr Lu, who said that he earns a seven-figure revenue annually, told CNA that his wealth and success can be attributed to his home town.
“The soil (in Raub) is very suitable for cultivating durians. Also, the climate is very good. The temperature between day and night has a difference of about 10 degrees celsius. The environment here has not suffered from serious pollution. Without air pollution, the durians we produced are of exceptional quality,” he said.
Mr Lu added that Raub’s geographical location – on a valley in between Genting Highlands and Cameron Highlands – is ideal to grow Musang King durians.
“Nowadays, Chinese, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan tourists choose to come to Raub to eat durians. We have a lot of such clients who come here specially to eat. Sometimes they come once a year, sometimes twice. They would recommend their friends to come too,” he added.
Mr Lu first started planting durians in the 1980s – before the hybrid variety durians became popular. He planted kampung durians and only started planting D24 and 101 durians later on.
He said that initially, the durian business was not lucrative, as the prices of durians were volatile and larger harvests meant that businesses were not able to cover costs.

“It was so terrible that some (farmers) began planting oil palm instead. I have also done that, converting some of my land to use for planting palm,” he said.
Over the years, the durian business evolved, and companies began planting better varieties.
“We started planting Mao Shan Wang. It helped broaden our market. We started exporting to Singapore and Hong Kong. We also sold them to Macau and China. With Mao Shan Wang, durian farmers started to earn a profit,” he said.
Mr Steven Yee, one of four owners from Raub-based durian company – UF 999 – told CNA that the high prices Chinese are willing to pay for Raub’s Musang King increases profit margin.
He explained that a few years ago, Musang King durians were priced at around RM25 per kg, but the fruits are now being sold for RM45 per kg as a result of how much foreign importers were willing to pay.
Mr Yee, along with his business partners Mr Sam Fong, Mr Alex Leong and Mr Yu Ping, told CNA that they each now earn around RM1 million annually, having been in the business for five to ten years. Their farm, spanning around 10 hectares, is located at Bukit Kuman, Raub.

“Raub is the biggest Musang King hub in the world, and investment from China is only going to make us richer,” he said.
“The Musang King durians from this state will be given its own brand name, so that they will be recognised when exported. If not, Musang King sellers from other states … will claim that their durians are from Pahang,” he said.

Pahang’s chief minister, Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, lauded Raub’s international success in producing the Musang King variety.
In his speech as guest-of-honour for Raub’s International Durian festival on Friday (Jul 12), Mr Wan Rosdy said the state government is looking to brand the Musang King durians that are produced in Pahang, to differentiate its “premium quality” from durians of the same variety produced in other states.
“The Musang King durians from this state will be given its own brand name, so that they will be recognised when exported. If not, Musang king sellers from other states … will claim that their durians are from Pahang,” he said.
He added that Raub should utilise its premium durians to attract tourists to the state, especially from China.

“Last year, Pahang had around 700,000 tourists from China, but now we want one million. We want Raub to be a friendly city (to Chinese tourists),” he said.
Around 10,000 people from various parts of Malaysia attended the opening day of the festival in Raub. Delegates from China were also present as special guests invited by the Pahang state government.
Musang King millionaires: Pahang town's durian businessmen turn wealthy as demand increases
RAUB, Pahang: In the early 1900s, the sleepy town of Raub was nationally famous for gold as miners regularly scooped handfuls of it from trays of sand they dug up.While the gold has since dwindled, the district is now world-famous for another precious commodity – the Musang King durian.

Durian is not a good trade. The growing of it is environmentally-unfriendly and unsustainable. Land that are cultivated with durians are toxic. The farmers and sellers are exposed to cancerous chemicals when they smell the fruit. The sellers are never honest people, they got to lie to customers or add a few bad ones in your order. The toxins accumulated inside the fruit harms the consumer resulting in mild fever or throat inflammation when taken in excess.
Just my take.
Just my take.
Just take the malay durian kampung. Instead of paying RM45 per kg, Malays will sell it at less than RM10.
There is no branding and consistency in durian kampung as eachbfruut taste different. And a typical malay will rather die thsn export their durians to china. They threat of chinese communist terrorist taking over the country still fresh in their minds.
Some farmers in "raub" got their land for free under malay gomen trying to get peasants chinese to abandon the communist cause.
But it seems its not enough. They even started to clear areas of gomen owned land and in forest reserve to plant the bloody fruit illegally. Now that battle for the said land is in court.
A non cheating Chinese businessman in Malaysia? Nahh.... you'll never find them. They are as extinct as dinosaurs
How do you know this? Has any typical m&d died yet?
Any non-racist m&d bumi? Or have they been extinct by the jihadists from PAS pigs?
There are "export only" durians and there are "for local consumption only" durians. The Malaysian farmers know how much the export county's allowable pesticide content level is from sample testing and make sure they pass.
What level of pesticide is safe to the human body is anyone's guess.
What level of pesticide is safe to the human body is anyone's guess.
Wrap durian in plastic and shoot every squirrel...? You think people are growing durian trees in a garden?
Have you even seen the scale of a durian plantation before?
I dunno which is worse .. Your shitskin lying trait or your orang pendek hominid IQ.
