Mount Kinabalu (Malay: Gunung Kinabalu) is a prominent mountain on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It is located in the east Malaysian state of Sabah and is protected as Kinabalu National Park, a World Heritage Site. Kinabalu is the tallest peak in Borneo’s Crocker Range and is the 4th tallest mountain in the Malay Archipelago after Indonesian Papua’s Puncak Jaya, Puncak Trikora and Puncak Mandala.

The mountain and its surroundings are among the most important biological sites in the world, with over 4500 species of plant, 326 species of birds, and 100 mammalian species identified. Among this rich collection of wildlife are famous species such as the gigantic Rafflesia plants and the orangutan. Mount Kinabalu has been accorded UNESCO World Heritage status.

The main peak of the mountain (Low’s Peak) can be climbed quite easily by a person in peak physical condition. If not fit enough, though, the climb can be very hard despite there being no need for mountaineering equipment at any point on the main route. Other peaks along the massif, however, require rock climbing skills.

RESIDENTS in Jalan Kolam Air, Setapak are having sleepless nights since drug addicts moved into an abandoned building in their neighbourhood.

The building, which has been left abandoned for the past six years, has become a perfect meeting place for addicts to get their daily fix.

In addition, the overgrown bushes and trees around the building is an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes.

“The building is overgrown with creepers and the whole place looks scary,” said S. Thamilalagan, a resident who runs a business in the area.

“Most of us are afraid to walk past the area at night. Sometimes we hear noises from the site,” said Thamilalagan.

Another resident, who declined to be named, said the vacant building with bushes surrounding it was becoming a habitat for dangerous reptiles.

“We have seen snakes there, we are afraid one of us might get bitten one day,” she said.

She said that previously there were frequent visits by the police.

But since the Sentul police station was under construction, the residents were worried about their safety as they rarely see the police monitoring the area.

The resident also complained that some students who played truant had been seen loitering at the abandoned site.

“We are afraid they might get involved in social problems,” she said.

She added that currently there were many foreigners moving to the area and turning the place into a squatter settlement.

When contacted, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) corporate communications director Anwar Mohd Zain said the building was sitting on land that belonged to a private owner.

He said DBKL would send a team to check the site and issue a notice to the land owner to clean up the site.

“If the owner fails to do so before our notice period expires, we will issue a maximum compound of RM2,000,” he said.

He added that DBKL would then clean the area and charge the owner based on manpower utilised for the clearing work,” said.

Durians, durians and more durians! It is the time of the season again where people would sit on stools, huddled over the thorny husks and taste the yellow-coloured pulp.

The smell can be offensive to those who despise it. But it is probably safe to say that the number of Malaysians who love this fruit outnumber those who don’t, and for this majority, the smell is fragrant!

There are many varieties, with names like Red Prawn, D101, D13, D24, XO, D2 and also Bamboo Leg (Thraka), but the one that is much in demand now, even rising above all is the Musang King (Mao San Wong in Chinese).

The taste of Malaysia’s Musang King had enamoured even Macau’s casino king Stanley Ho so much that he sent his personal jet to Singapore recently to buy 88 of this variety, worth about RM4,800!

While Ho’s worker had wanted to pick up 98 of the Musang King, however, he could only get 88 since the adverse weather had resulted in a shortage of supply.

While Musang King is no doubt sold at many stalls for years, its popularity has increased by many folds now.

So what is the fuss about the Musang King, which is priced higher than the rest.

T.H. Tee, who runs his Durian Hartamas stall in Desa Sri Hartamas, said the best Musang King was from Pahang.

He gets his daily supply from Bentong and said it used to be much costlier but the price had dropped.

“The Musang King’s flesh is yellow,” said Tee as he cracked open one to show the contents.

“It’s creamy, too, and has a fragrance that lingers long in your mouth. The quality is consistent and you cannot find fault from one pulp to the other.”

The Musang King is originally known as Durian Kunyit, deriving its name from the yellow colour of the turmeric. Its place of origin is said to be Gua Musang, Kelantan.

Tee said the Musang King had been in Malaysia for more than 10 years but the bigger, better quality ones were often exported to Singapore.

“Singaporeans only need pay half of the Malaysian cost, given their stronger currency value. So they can well afford it,” said Tee, who hails from Johor and had sold the Musang King in Singapore for many years.

This is the first year that he is putting up a stall in Hartamas. For a start, Tee said he was charging his Musang King at a reasonable price, below the market rate although he declined to say how much.

“This way, I hope to build a steady stream of customers here.”

Tee said his durians were supplied fresh daily, as the taste would be less superior if kept overnight. His fruits arrive late in the afternoon after the morning pick.

Cheong Yeow Choy, who sells only Pahang-supplied durians at his stall in SS2 behind the police station, said Musang King was expensive because of the big demand in Singapore.

“After Stanley Ho made his purchase and sent some to Li Ka Shing, the durian’s popularity shot up even more!

“But there are also people who do not like it,” said Cheong, 49, who is popularly called Kim Mao by his friends and customers for his gold-dyed hair.

Yet there are also people who have no idea what Musang King is.

“The real durian lovers are not likely to opt for Musang King because the flavour is quite standard and predictable, without much variation,” Cheong said.

But Cheong said Musang King was unique because of its distinct yellow colour, small seeds and almost flawless quality of its flesh.

“The reject rate is very small,” he added.

As a durian seller for 32 years, he spent 15 years working in Pahang, and admitted to aggressively promoting durians from the state. He gets his daily supply from Raub and Krau.

“I bring in about 7,500kg of various durians each day.

“Durians that are exposed to the sun tend to be more bitter, while those under the shade tend to be sweeter,” he said.

When asked how a buyer could identify the Musang King, Cheong could only say that there is a certain shape to look out for.

“You have to check the head and bottom of the fruit which has a distinct shape.”

He said there were different grades of the Musang King — the Super Grade or Grade 1 and Grade 2.

The Grade 1, he said, were those from the old trees and which grow higher up in the mountains, while the lower Grade 2 were usually grown on a flatter terrain.

He said he would be drastically reducing the Musang King’s price to make it affordable to all.

Durian lover Tharma Kumaran said the Musang King was the epitome of the durian family.

“We are always getting B and C grade durians in Malaysia because the best are usually sent to Singapore,” lamented Tharma, 36.

“But it’s the tastiest among all. Although the price is higher, I believe a good fruit is worth its value,” he added.

He attributed its good taste to the thicker and creamier flesh and the Musang King gave him lesser indigestion problems.

His brother, Pala Kumaran, agreed that the durian tasted better and was not sticky.

“It comes out neatly from the seed and melts in the mouth,” he said.

Two Taiwanese customers, who were eating at the stall, said the Musang King was their favoured variety.

“It’s the best (durian) for me,” said Hsiao Chih Jen, 61.

“The flavour and aftertaste is different from the other varieties,” Hsiao said.

His friend, Chen Chiu Tung, 60, said he did not mind forking out more money as long as the quality was good.

Both have been staying and working in Malaysia for more than 20 years. “We only learnt to eat the fruit upon coming to Malaysia.

“Now there are durians in Taiwan, but are imported from Thailand which doesn’t taste nice,” said Chen.

But as they say, taste is subjective and whether Musang King is really that good, you are your own judge.

FOR years, I have been trying to do a story on one of Kuala Lumpur’s oldest makan stalls.

And if you love Chinese porridge, Low Yau Kee is the place to go.

This stall has been around for decades and the surrounding areas of Jalan Tun H.S. Lee has changed so much over the years.

The owner of the porridge stall has made a strategic alliance with Soong Kee beef noodles by sharing its real estate.

Old time favourite: Chee chap chuk is Low Yau Kee’s hallmark dish
When I was a teenager, I used to eat at the five-foot way where the stall is located and there was a chee chap thong (pork soup) stall including a kwon lou har meen seller in the same row.
Sadly, the chee chap seller is no longer seen trading in the area.

Now, highly recommended is the chee chap chuk (pork innards porridge) that is sold at RM4.50 a bowl.

This is considerably affordable by Kuala Lumpur’s standards and if you have a big appetite, you will end up with a second helping.

Just remember to ask for extra chee yuk yeen (pork meatballs) which this stall is famous for serving.

What’s nice, is the char cheong (deep fried pig’s intestines) which is crunchy.

My wife Michelle found it to be a bit salty and the only place that is comparable to Low Yau Kee is Wong Kee porridge stall in Petaling Street.

Strategic alliance: The porridge stall is working together with Soong Kee beef noodles to draw in more food lovers
If you love watt kai (steamed chicken), this is also the place to indulge.
A bowl of porridge with chicken on the side is roughly about RM6.50 or more depending on the portion.

I found the oyster sauce used in the dish to be very salty which actually ruined the taste of the tender steamed chicken.

Low Yau Kee opens daily from 5pm to 10pm and if you want to savour the porridge here, it is best to get there early as seats and tables are very limited.

This stall is located in front of Soong Kee beef noodles in Jalan Tun H.S. Lee and is not hard to locate. Just find the Maybank branch here and you will hit the jackpot.

Historically and culturally significant, the Sarawak Regatta traces its origins to the days of the Rajah Charles Brooke. The regatta relives the former glory with traditional long boat and dragon boat races, as well as a host of traditional contests and games.
