Durian season but no crowd


SEGAMAT: Tighter purse strings and concerns over the spread of Covid-19 have made Jementah, a town located far west of Johor in the district of Segamat, a much quieter place this durian season.

In the past, the town known as one of the producers of top quality durian in Johor, usually welcomed throngs of durian lovers, especially during weekends and public holidays.
