GEORGE TOWN: Penang’s durian season will be late this year but better quality fruits are expected when they start falling in May.
Tan Chee Keat, who owns orchards in Balik Pulau, Teluk Bahang and Teluk Kumbar, predicted that the durian season would run from May to August.
“The yield this year may come later but the fruit quality is expected to be a lot better than last year.
“This is because there was intermittent rain nearly every month last year but since December, we have seen very little rainfall.

LIVING in Teluk Bahang, Penang, is a headache especially with restrictions under the movement control order (MCO).
On one hand, this rustic corner that Penangites affectionately call ‘The End of the World’ is in the island’s Southwest District while on the other hand, it is only a few kilometres from Northeast District suburbs like Batu Ferringhi, Tanjung Bungah and Tanjung Tokong.
To get to Southwest District’s town centre in Balik Pulau involves negotiating a long, steep, narrow, winding hillside road, originally built for horse wagons and bullock carts in colonial days.
And under the MCO, two police roadblocks bar the shorter, easy way into the nearby Northeast District.
