Thieves in Penang Steal Premium Durians Despite Price Drop The news from Penang's durian orchards is a stark reminder that human nature remains self serving and opportunistic despite economic fluctuations.
Recent reports have highlighted the brazen thefts of premium durians, specifically the prized Black Thorn variety. Thieves are targeting these fruits not out of desperation but rather for easy gain.
The Penang Fruit Farmers Association notes that thefts have decreased compared to poorer times, which is intriguing given the sharp decline in durian prices this season.
