00:42So actually I'm a bit impressed lah sebab this event really big kan and macam first time datang tu nampak
00:52ramai and I was like expecting maybe Durian dah habis ke tapi end up banyak lagi.
00:59So I'm very impressed and also satisfied lah dengan event ni.
01:04Then I also got a lot of food besides Durian and also Bubur Durian so I'm really satisfied.
01:12This is one of the Malaysian most popular food around the world.
01:16So I think it's a good time for people to explore all about Durian lah and also the Malaysian culture.
01:23It's one way to expose the culture and also to introduce people that Durian is actually a very healthy food.
01:31So I went to a great country for client-relatedirus.
01:32So in the Laban Manifest, I feel happy.
01:34I feel like this is one of the first places that happened to the Malaysian Tahun Melawansia in 2026.
01:42So in the place too, I have the place to gather all the kinds of Durian that we can show
01:50to the world that Malaysia can be an real country as a country,
01:58Durian, with a lot of durian, we can get the opportunity to feel the improvement of durian
02:10besides what we always use, like Durian Kampo.
02:13Just like local visitors, tourists were eager to sample different durian varieties while
02:19discovering more about the iconic fruit.
02:21It's crazy.
02:22Every corner you go to, sorry, every street there's durian everywhere.
02:27People obviously love it here, it's crazy.
02:29My first time trying it, I mean it's really strong, I think it's something I could get
02:36used to.
02:36I'm not sure yet, but I think if I eat more and more I start to like it.
02:40It's such a huge thing, everyone's got to try new things, I think it's an important
02:44part of the culture here, so if you're here you've got to try some.

02:54set to emerge as one of Malaysia's latest tourism destinations, enhancing the country's
