> Here is my own personal account:
> On 21st Apr, my husband with a group of friends decided
> to have some
> durian after dinner at geylang and we head straight to
> the nearest stall - CHIN
> YONG TRADING. Turned out to be a big mistake!
>
> My husband went off to choose the durians after we found
> a table. Once
> my husnband approached this hooligan, he took out his
> parang to open a
> durian and ask my husband to try, my husband asked him
> how much was it but he
> say “never mind just try first”, so my husband commented
> not
> bad….immediately this hooligan picked up 5 durians and
> put into a basket, weighed it and
> brought it to our tables despite my husband repeated
> questioning on the
> price. No replies given.
>
> At our table, he opened up another and asked me and
> another gal friend
> (who’s carrying a less than yr old baby) to try the
> durian so we tried.
> He asked whether nice, we said yes, not bad and
> immediately he started
> opening up another durian and say, “see confirm good one
> this one”! We asked him
> about the price then only at this time he told us $20 per
> kg!!! so we
> asked him the whole basket how heavy, and guess what???
> 10kg, and there were
> only 5 durians inside! We say we don;t want he say cannot
> cos durian opened
> already and he already keyed in the sales and cannot
> return. Then keep
> explaining to us this is really good durian and worth
> eating while
> picking up another to open. This time we raised out voice
> and told him if he
> don’t stop opening, we will leave immediately.

> Only then he stopped and say, never mind, he’ll return
> the other 2
> unopened one, but the rest of the three durians we have

> piang…and we thought just a while ago he said key in
> order already cannot
> returned??????

> Anyway, we were very angry and everything happened too
> fast for us to
