Hail to the good, brave Malaysians among us

[superadmin]

Some friends in Jakarta asked recently if I have anything good to say about Malaysia. Of course, I do. In this holy month of Ramadan, let me pen my uncensored answers for them as well as for my other respected readers.

My first point, which may please many Malaysians and Indonesians alike, is about the durian, Malaysia’s king of fruits.

I made the mistake of bringing some “Musang King” durian to Jakarta when it first hit the market, as I thought good things are meant to be shared, especially among special friends here in Jakarta.

Never did I think that it would become my routine for the last 10 years to fill half my suitcase with packets of “musang king” on every trip to Jakarta. (Covid-19 gave me a two-year hiatus).
