SG displays durians as national fruit, bolehlanders throw a fucking hissy fit

It's a thorny situation when it comes to national dishes — and it appears that some Malaysians' pride have been pricked.


Some netizens in Malaysia have expressed their unhappiness after a recent Facebook post claimed that Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia all share the same national fruit — the durian.


Last Saturday (Aug 17), Facebook page Asian SEA Story posted a graphic on South-east Asia's national fruits:

• Singapore: Durian
• Indonesia: Durian
• Malaysia: Durian or papaya
• Myanmar: Cucumber tree
• Thailand: Mangosteen
• Vietnam: Dragon fruit
• Philippines: Mango
• Cambodia: Chicken Egg Banana

The post soon went viral, with many Malaysians making snide remarks about how Singapore obtains their share of the king of fruits.

"Where does Singapore grow their durian... one has to ponder," a Facebook user said.


Another netizen asked: "Where does Singapore grow the durian? Botanic Garden or Jurong Bird Park?"


Echoing the sentiment, another Facebook user questioned: "Where is the durian farm in Singapore? On top of their apartments?"

"The best durians from Singapore come from Segamat, Pagoh and Raub," one commented. "Not far from Woodlands MRT station."


But some Singaporeans are taking these comments in stride and even cracked jokes.


"We have one big durian in Singapore — Esplanade," one netizen said.


Chiming in, another Facebook user said: "Singapore can say durian is its national fruit because Malaysia sends the best over."


And this netizen said it best: "Chill, people... Singapore might not be able to grow much of anything, but many Singaporeans do love durians like us. Let's share our love for durians with them as well, we're all Aseans."

Snot-sized shithole island also needs a 'national fruit'?

It's all just noise, bread and circus for the dumbed down masses.

Honestly, can Sickipoora have anything which can be recognised as uniquely it's own ? Maybe coolie gene retards would be one.

C'mon, fellow citizens, calm down.

Let others have their fun or perceived glory over mere PHYSICAL items.

Intelligent sentient Humankind it is NOT found on mere food, fruits, or whatever that gives self-esteem to a nation's progress & evolution.

The TRUE SEEDS of such lays in (w)holistic EDUCATION AND its APPLICATIONS, in a democracy, to uplift lives, with the principle to leave NONE behind.

Let others lay pride & even harmful notions of mere physical items, to fool & scam others, while we SINGAPOREANS FOCUS on what that is necessary to progress & evolve.

When we achieved such, which are beyond the physical, we will then be truly number one & respected, for our success, focus, wealth & knowledge, to be followed upon by others, proven when the World looked upon Singapore as a success case in a world of turmoil in the 60s, of our founding & forefathers whom had worked so hard, so hard, sacrificed so much, to give us our todays....
