DONALD'S DURIAN

SEE YOU AT DONALD’S DURIAN STALL IN PETALING JAYA
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t listen to malicious allegations, remarks and rumours or complaints that do not hold water – that is, not true.

YOU certainly need genuine witnesses to proof your say that Donald is a “cheat”, otherwise, it will rebound and reflect back at you, for having made such a malicious allegations, remarks, rumours or false complaints.

Of course, the public, in this case the Durian lovers will then think that you have a personal agenda and motive behind what you are doing.

Whoever you are, you should go over to Donald’s Durian Stall in SS2/24 Petaling Jaya, to check it out for yourself and, then, come back to say your piece without fear or favour, and to apologise to this man, Donald, for having made a false report.

For your information, Donald has come a long way, has a long history in the business – so if he is a “cheat” he won’t be still selling Durians ‘til today.

It’s common knowledge and understanding that competition in business is healthy and is, in fact, the name of the game, especially with others selling and doing the same business in the same street, in this case, in SS2/24, Petaling Jaya.

There are 3 Durian stalls selling the King of Fruits adjacent to each other on the same street. So, it’s natural to see some dissatisfactions and disagreements between the parties.

What you know, some quarters had taken the wrong-turn by playing dirty tactics to frame the competitor, to the extent of writing poison articles to a Blog, simply to instil fears to the public, in this case, to Durian lovers.

Don’t listen to all these wild rumours and nonsense or be taken for a ride, of sort.

Exactly, as his (Donald’s) new or old customers, you are in a better position to be a judge yourself to know what’s true or false, that will clear the allegation.

O.kay! We dispute what this quarter had said about Donald.

It’s indeed outrageous and an unfair statement because there is no truth.

As you know, in all kinds of businesses, there are bound to be some customers making claims and complaints, which is normal.

Over to you, the person who had called Donald a “cheat”, what you know about “Mao Sun Wong” or “Raja Kunyit”? And, who actually started the “Eat All You Can” Concept or Idea for Durians?


It’s non-other than this man, Donald, himself. So, sit back and take a reflection on this and think about what you said about him, being a “Cheat”.

We, namely Messrs Alan Zechariah, Patrick Teoh, Jeff You and yours truly (Lau Bing) together with Norina Yahya, including the late Kenny Lim had been eating Durians in Donald’s Durian Stall in SS15 Subang Jaya in the 1995 and thereafter in Petaling Jaya.

This is about 15 years ago and, that was, how we became friends.

If he was a “Cheat” we will know.

By the way, we noticed that he seriously sees to it there is good customer relations, trust and ethics between him and his customers, like for instance, he will replace a fruit without any question asked, so long it is unripe or has a funny taste, etc. etc.

No matter how good a Durian salesman you are there is always a slip because nobody can really sees through a Durian from the outside (skin).

It’s therefore not his character to condemn or make an unpleasant remark or comment about his competitors, except to find New Ways to sell his fruits. So, why should anyone bothers him when he doesn’t bother anybody.

Remember, it was him (Donald) who started selling Durians to customers for “All You Can Eat” Concept. He has photos and documents to proof it.

Donald will never play tricks or dirty tactics on his competitors.

There you go! We have no hesitation to recommend you (all Durian lovers) to go on have your Durians at Donald’s Durian Stall in SS2/24, Petaling Jaya. You will enjoy having the fruits in his place and if you are lucky you can catch him at the right time when he will share his jokes with you.

Well, here’s the History part:

Do you know Donald had done many Durian charities for homes of handicapped and underprivileged children and for old folks homes?

That means he may be the Only Durian sales man in town, who shares his profits with unfortunate people and those who are in dire need of funds.

We remember together with Jeff Yow and the late Kenny Lim and yours truly (Lau Bing), we got to know this kind, generous and compassionate man, Donald, when Stephen Ng, a stringer with the Malay Mail, was doing a write up of the 3 musketeers of the then RTM Radio 4 for the paper.

All 4 of us met at Donald’s Durian Stall in SS15 Subang Jaya for a photo shoot.

During the photo shoot, we asked him (Donald) whether he was interested to do a Durian Charity for underprivileged and abandon children. He abruptly answered, “Yes! Why not!”

And, within weeks we got a Durian Charity going and raised over RM10, 000 for two Charitable Organisations.

He was so happy with the results and told us that he had decided to donate Lock-Stock and Barrel, the whole collection to Rumah Charis and Rumah Hope of which each of them got over RM5,000

Thereafter, he held a string of charities for the underprivileged and handicapped people in town and also for those who are in dire need of funds.

The bottomline is this man needs your continued support, trust and understanding and remember your support goes a long way helping the poor, in a way, when you buy your Durians at Donalds’s Duriang Stall in SS2/24 Petaling Jaya.

Cheers! See you all at Donald’s
