‘Spit and wrap’ durian stall mysteriously disappears overnight

Less than two days after a video showing a durian seller ‘spitting’ on each packet of the fruit went viral online, the stall located near a Petron station in Taman Sri Gombak has mysteriously ‘disappeared’.

Malay daily Sinar Harian reported that the Zone 4 Residents Committee (JKP) in Selayang advised the four Indonesians running the stall to shut it down as they were operating without a proper permit. 

According to Amir Fazlee Khalid, the durian sellers initially ignored their warnings, but after the video drew the ire of Netizens, they had decided to shut the stall down for good. 

“The four denied spitting on the durians. So, to avoid any untoward incident, we asked that they leave the place as it was located in a residential area,” Amir told Sinar Harian.

On Wednesday, a two-minute video showing a man spitting into the durian packets before cling-wrapping them made its way online, and was broadly shared on social media sites within a few hours.
