A lady went on a durian buying trip to a durian farm in Malaysia with her friends over one weekend, that they have been patronizing for the last few years.
Mao Shan Wang (MSW), the most famous and popular breed, was 30 Ringgit per kilogram. Another two breeds were selling at 20 and 10 Ringgit per kilogram respectively, according to the farm owner.
The few of them started trying one of each of the different breeds to see if the MSW tasted really good and which taste better before deciding which to buy.
Soon, busloads of Singaporean tourists started arriving at the farm.
On seeing the overwhelming number of potential customers, the owner's wife announced price increases for the durians. The 10 Ringgit for one kilogram is now 15 Ringgit per kilogram and so on.
On hearing this, the lady and her friends were taken aback.
"Hi Miss, I thought your dad said this is 10 Ringgit per kilogram?" she asked the owner's daughter while pointing to the durians.
"Oh, don't worry. It's still 10 Ringgit." the daughter replied.
After they were done with their purchases and got onto the car, they questioned the owner's wife integrity.
"How could she just increase the price because she saw there were a lot of customers coming?" one exclaimed.
"She is going to chase away a lot of her regular customers doing this. Next time, no one is going to buy from her. Hers is not the only durian farm here." said another.
