Calling all true Malaysian durian enthusiasts! We all know the undying love we have for the King of Fruits, but what happens when a foreigner tries to embrace our durian culture? Brace yourselves, because the controversy has erupted like never before!
A YouTuber recently shared her durian adventure in Penang, splurging a whopping RM204 on the beloved spiky fruit. But it wasn't just the indulgence that caught our attention. It was her attempt to mimic the post-durian rituals that left us dumbfounded.
Just like us Malaysians, she rinsed her mouth with salt water using a durian shell to cleanse her palate. No surprises there! But hold on tight, because the unexpected twist is coming. She went on to use the same durian shell, filled with salt water, to wash her fingers and shockingly took a sip from it. Can you believe it? Her nonchalant defence was simply, "It's my own fingers, nothing to complain about."
Naturally, this sent shockwaves through Malaysian netizens. Comments flooded in, expressing disbelief and disagreement. "Malaysians would never drink handwashing water," cried one user, while another urged, "Let's discard that water and prevent the spread of misinformation."
The vlogger's video ignited a frenzy of reactions, leaving Malaysians in a state of sheer amazement. We're all wondering, what on earth was she thinking?
Now, it's your turn to weigh in on this peculiar situation. What do you make of her daring act? Let's keep the discussion buzzing!
