Singapore politicians lead sold-out durian tours to Malaysia as peak season hits

Singaporean politicians are leading their constituents on sold-out tours across the causeway to indulge in Malaysia’s peak durian season, with itineraries featuring all-you-can-eat buffets, shopping and multi-course dinners.

At least seven members of parliament (MPs) have organised trips this month for Singaporean citizens to get their fill of the spiky and pungent fruit in neighbouring Malaysia, where prices are expected to fall this month in light of abundant supply.

The outings, some lasting a day and others overnight, have proven so popular that many were fully booked shortly after being announced, according to local news outlet the Malay Mail.

The surge in durian trips follows Singapore’s general election two months ago – part of a familiar post-poll tradition, according to tourism operators.

“It is usual for Singaporeans to go on durian tours every year, but the number of groups goes up by about 30 per cent after an election in the island republic,” Jimmy Leong, chairman of the Johor Tour­ist Guides Association, told Malaysian newspaper The Star.

The trips have become a popular way for MPs to thank constituents for their support, and they provide a reliable boost to Johor’s local tourism sector, Leong added.
