> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > [Check it out!](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian#mediaviewer/File:Singapore_MRT_Fines.jpg) That link didn’t work for me and went to the main durian Wiki page. [This one does](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Singapore_MRT_Fines.jpg). But what’s the penalty? The fine is undefined! I also noticed the comparison of the fragrance to ‘used surgical swabs’ which indeed turned my stomach a bit here first thing in the morning. ---

The fine is undefined! I don’t think there’s a fine. They’ll just take it away from you. Durians are routinely banned from hotels and airplanes in Singapore. On those fine amounts, those are in Singaporean dollars. S$1 is something like 75 cents American. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-here-has-sampled-durian/712625.md?page=2)
