The yelling is unprofessional and doesn't represent us well as a country. However, the import of undeclared fruits and vegetables can do damage to our ecosystem if they are of a type that represents a danger, or carries certain insects.

Also, and I know humor is generally frowned on here, but yelling in the presence of durian is understandable at a certain level, if you've ever tasted or smelled it.

Trust me, I'm from NZ, I get the idea behind the declaration of fruits etc.

I've never heard anyone on more of a shitheaded mean-spirited power trip than every American customs person I've stood near.

But... durian is delicious! It really is! It must be like cilantro, where some taste... the sweet, and others taste the sewer. I get to taste the sweet sweet non-sewer durian.

ha ha, yeah. In fact, it is illegal to carry durian in a lot of public places in Singapore like buses, trains and even hotels
