GEORGE TOWN: An investigation into the “three durians for RM1,000” controversy revealed that the fruits were sold at a reasonable price despite claims otherwise.

The state Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP), however, issued two compounds, totalling RM2,000, to the durian seller and the co-owner of the shop.
