Not allowed on the MRT in Singapore , yes , a fine and in hotels in the region too , durians can be detected way way away as most here know . But someone has managed to sneak it on board as they thought too precious to check in and found a way to multiple seal it !
However , at certain hotels in the region. , one can get by possibly by enjoying them on the beach away from others
Know a Maori who has flown across ocean ( s ) , even to Chinatown in Melbourne to get hold of some & it was pricey too , & if you add airfare .. !!
