Given its widespread popularity and abundance in our orchards, one might assume that durian holds the prestigious title of Malaysia's national fruit. However, prepare to be astonished because that assumption is incorrect!
Surprisingly, the fruit bestowed with that honour is none other than the humble papaya!
Yes, you read that correctly papaya reigns as Malaysia's national fruit.
