Durian, either you love it, or you hate it. Regardless of what, it's definitely the King of Fruit in Malaysia. Belonging to the genus Durio, this fruit is easily distinguished for its strong aroma and yet, creamy texture. In collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, Pos Malaysia issued this set of stamps featuring five durian varieties that are highly sought after by durian lovers from all over the world. The miniature sheet in this issue features the Durian Raja Kunyit D197, commonly known as Musang King or Mao Shan Wang (猫山王).
