Tycoon sends jet to S'pore for durian purchase

[MarrickG]

THE Musang King durian from Malaysia has proven to be so delicious that Stanley Ho, who is Macau’s Gambling King, sent his personal jet to pick up 88 durians from Singapore.

China Press reported that Ho bought about RM4,800 worth (S$2,071) of the durian from the 818 Durian Stall in the island republic.

Ho then shared the king of fruits with his friend Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing by giving him 10 durians.

The daily reported that Ho’s worker wanted to buy 98 durians but only managed to get 88 as supply was low due to adverse weather.

In Singapore, the Musang King durian costs about RM38 (S$16.40) per kilo, the daily reported.

A lot of PRCs like to buy things in Singapore cos it is a "brand" known for quality. Macham like why some electronic appliances are marketed as "made in Japan" as compared to "made in China" etc.

You might laugh but I have known PRCs prefering to buy luxury goods in Singapore cos lower prices for some and guarantee not fake for others.

That's what I was thinking too.
Don't know about the rest of you, but I much prefer the taste of durian to the smell.

Some people say the best of the best are those exports to Singapore from Malaysia and Thailand, but I only believe that half-half.
