  1. Nutritional Power

Durian is an energy-dense fruit with many health benefits:

High in Energy: Around 150–160 kcal per 100g, due to its high fat and
carbohydrate content.

Rich in Fiber: Aids digestion and promotes gut health.

Vitamin C (boosts immune system)

Natural Sugars: Provides a quick energy boost.

  1. Aphrodisiac Reputation

In some Southeast Asian cultures, durian is believed to have
libido-enhancing properties. There’s even a saying:

“When the durians fall, the sarongs fly.”

While not scientifically proven, it’s thought to increase body heat
and blood flow.


  1. Cultural Power

Considered the “King of Fruits” in many Southeast Asian countries.

A symbol of wealth and status — premium durians like Musang King can
sell for very high prices.

Used in festivals, rituals, and as diplomatic gifts.


  1. Controversial Power (Smell!)

Durian’s odor is powerful enough to get it banned from hotels, planes,
and public transport.

Despite this, fans say the taste is heavenly once you get past the
smell — “smells like hell, tastes like heaven.”

What is Durian

Durian is a tropical fruit known for its large size, spiky outer shell, and strong smell. It’s native to Southeast Asia and often referred to as the “king of fruits.” Here’s a quick breakdown:

Appearance:

  • Size: Typically the size of a football, can weigh 1–3 kg (2–7 lbs).
  • Exterior: Covered in thick, hard spikes.
  • Interior: Contains several large seeds surrounded by creamy, custard-like flesh.

Taste & Smell:

  • Smell: Extremely pungent — people often describe it as a mix of rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage. Because of this, it’s banned in many public places (like hotels and subways) in parts of Asia.
  • Taste: Polarizing. Some love it for its sweet, rich, almond-like flavor; others find it unbearable.

Culinary Use:

  • Eaten raw or used in sweet and savory dishes (e.g., durian ice cream, pastries, or curry).
  • Popular in countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Najib: Talent Corp will lure Malaysians home next year

BRUSSELS: The Talent Corporation, which has been tasked with encouraging Malaysian professionals based overseas to return home, will begin operations in January.

When announcing this, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the Government was in the midst of hiring key personnel for the corporation to headhunt Malaysians to return and work in the country.

“We are creating more exciting things to attract Malaysians and foreigners to come and play a part in our next level of growth. If we can create more opportunities, some of you might want to come back and those married to Belgians can bring (your) spouses with you; they will be allowed to work.

“Our policy is to be more open because a society that is open will thrive in the 21st century. A society that is closed will not attract the best brains, you will attract mediocre people and the good ones would have left the country and we will be a lot poorer as a result,” the Prime Minister said in his address to about 200 Malaysians based in Belgium and Luxembourg during a Hari Raya gathering he hosted with his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor here on Sunday night.

Najib, who is in Brussels to attend the Asia-Europe Summit, had announced the setting up of the corporation when tabling the 10th Malaysia Plan in Kuala Lumpur.

He said the corporation, to be placed under the Prime Minister’s Department, would identify shortages in key sectors, attract and retain the necessary skilled human capital, and provide an integrated skilled human capital blueprint.

Separately, Bernama reported that Malaysian Institute of Architects president Boon Chee Wee said: “This is a great initiative. We do have a shortage of architects, and the effect is that local firms are not able to expand their capability and capacity and thus face problems in competing with international architects.”

The Malaysian Medical Association president, Dr David K.L. Quek, said steps should also be taken to ensure that those returning had good career paths so that they would remain in the country.

Malaysia is for Malays–the rest go to HELL!!

Read the fine prints–if you are a Malay- you are set for life.Other races–YOU ARE FUCK OFF!!

Malay and bumi rights enshrined in NEM, says DPM

KUALA LUMPUR: Malay and bumiputra privileges, including those for business opportunities, are included in the New Economic Model (NEM), said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The Deputy Prime Minister said that if one were to study the NEM closely, they would find that Malay and bumiputra rights and privileges were already enshrined in it.

“It does not need to be said that Malay and bumiputra rights are protected under the NEM.

“The NKEAs (National Key Economic Area) protect Malay participation in the economy.

“We do not need to explain each of the NKEAs to see that the NEM protects Malay and bumiputra participation in the country’s economy,” he said at the Malay Chamber of Commerce’s Hari Raya gathering here yesterday.

Muhyiddin said he was aware that many Malay and bumiputra entrepreneurs felt vulnerable under the NEM.

“Many bumiputra entrepreneurs have asked me where the Malay agenda is in the NEM. I assure them that the NEM is committed to the involvement of the community in the country’s economic activities,” he said.

Muhyiddin also welcomed the chamber’s initiative in setting up its own Malay socio-economic laboratory, adding that it was in line with the Government’s intention to ensure that bumiputra affirmative action remained under the NEM.

“It can help the Government in its efforts to have greater involvement of Malays and bumiputra in all aspects of the economy. I support this initiative 100%,” he said.

Earlier, chamber president Syed Ali Alattas announced it had set up the laboratory to study the socio-economic status of the community.

“Minister in Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala has 12 NKEA laboratories and could have overlooked the need to have one for us (Malay community).

“So we decided to establish our own, which is in line with the Government’s Malay agenda,” he said.

Ministry wants commission to probe YouTube clip

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been asked to investigate a YouTube video of a man who allegedly insulted Islam and Prophet Muhammad in a talk.

Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said the commission has been instructed to immediately conduct the probe under Section 233 of the Communi-cations and Multimedia Act.

“I will personally make sure that this case is brought to the attention of the authorities soon,” he told reporters after opening a seminar on ‘Issues and Challenges in Preserving Audiovisual Archives in the Tropical Region’, here yesterday.

Pro tem president of the Muslim Bloggers Association (MBA), Zainol Abideen drew attention to the video clip of a “priest” delivering a talk at a church in Kuching.

Meanwhile, Dr Rais said the ministry plans to set up a system to display archive materials online.

He said the ministry would collaborate with agencies like Filem Negara, RTM and Bernama to collect historical documents to be displayed online by the National Archives.

“Through this initiative, artefacts such as videos, 16mm or 35mm films, film negatives as well as pictures can be put online,” he told reporters.

He said the system would enable access to historical materials without having to go to the agencies concerned.

Dr Rais said the ministry also planned to provide scholarships to encourage students and the public to carry out research on the country’s historical artefacts.

“The scholarships are aimed at promoting the study of archive materials. This includes training on heritage and record-keeping,” he said.

Earlier, in his speech Rais said special attention was needed for audiovisual archives in the tropical region, as their preservation is more challenging, with heat and humidity the main threats.

“Their relevance will not diminish with time, therefore, it is vital for such materials to be safeguarded and preserved for use by successive generations,” he said. – Bernama
