Coronavirus: Durian traders in Malaysia now selling eggs as sales plunge during stay-home order period

KLANG - Durian traders in Klang have seen sales of the"king of fruits" plunge, and have now switched to selling eggs during the movement control order period.

In Berkeley Garden, durian trader Ang Lai Huat said that it is difficult to get durians from his usual suppliers in Raub, Pahang and Johor since the MCO was put in place. "To earn a living, I and many other traders have decided to sell eggs. We are doing a brisk business now, as eggs are a staple people want,"he said.Another durian trader, Kenny Lee, who began selling durians only a few months ago, said his business had been crippled."I am amazed as customers are buying up to five trays a week," Mr Lee said, adding that business was good.

Durian trader Sarmin Samijo, who used to get wild durians from Hulu Langat, also said he had a supply problem."In eight days, I saw customers from as far as Kampung Delek, Sungai Udang and Teluk Pulai to get eggs," he said."It can be used for meals and even to make cakes. I have five children and they all love eggs for breakfast - scrambled or sunny side up," she said.

😅. Will these eggs be sold like D24, Mai Shan Wang, 红🦐, etc.. category too? Oops.. 😏 for being mischievous 🤪. Hv to keep oneself happy in this trying times😁. If not how to motivate others to stay motivated and positive.🙏
