The taste is good but the smell is not.

In local newspaper report, we find that there are irresponsible traders who imitated Musang King type of durians and sold other species of durians to many continents (esp. China), claiming them as Musang King, at expensive price.

How many types of durians and species of the same kind of durians are there in existence? The fact that durians are only consumed by those who like the fruits cannot be taken as a pivotal factor for its production and consumption, because durians can still be consumed and sold even in their stale character. 

I would like to relate the above two paragraphs concerning the sales of Musang King durians to China. There are efforts being done by Malaysian government to stabilise both the price and authenticity of the durians as if there are no other fruits or agricultural products that can wean off the taste of durian species to the China market. I am very cynical about this because there are so many products besides food and electronic chips craved by Malaysian manufacturers and consumers the Chinese counterparts fail to oversee the merchantability and durability of the products sold to Malaysian counterparts. What puzzles me the most is the fact that there are a few ships carrying on business selling fake Musang King durians perhaps not in Spartley Islands or Pulau Batu Putih, arguably. If these ships are to be analysed, not only the durians are a copycat of the best quality durians, but the origin of the fruits can be tracked from that of our neighbouring country which has more populations in its Capital City; nothing can stop people from murmuring the city in their heart because the traffic congestion in that city is of course an obstacle if the durians are supposed to be transported to capital city of China by land. 

I can't imagine what is being said by local officials from Malaysia and China when they are formulating the best solution to avoid price drop of that durian clones; hampers my opinion to suggest that the banking systems of both countries are incompatible in its bankability, sustainability and "taste" as well.

Honestly speaking, we will enjoy eating the durians more in a private jet (for those who like them), and for those who dislike durians, they will aboard another jets just to get fresh air. 

P/S: Inflation levels in ASEAN countries are very minute as compared to South American and some African countries. But there are still people selling fake iPhones and chips to get more money.
