Apparently, it is not just humans who love durians – two bears risked it all for a taste of the king of fruits at a school in Terengganu, Sinar Harian reported.
The pair entered SK Seberang Tayor in Kemaman around 8.30am on Monday.
School gardener Azmi Yaakob, 52, said some pupils who were undergoing sports training, were told to return to the classrooms.
He said the bears wandered in the compound for quite some time and around 11am, they went to the school farm where durian trees were planted.
'They ate some durians before moving on to the nearby bush,' he added.
Terengganu Wildlife and National Parks Department director Loo Kean Seong said traps had been placed in the area since May.
He said efforts were being taken to locate the animals.
> After 18 years, Malaysian blockbuster Impak Maksima made a roaring cinematic comeback with a new instalment, raking in RM1mil in just four days, Harian Metro reported.
The sequel, Impak Maksima 2, is directed by Dr Ahmad Idham Ahmad Nadzri and stars Arfie Shah, Datuk Seri Eizlan Yusof and Dynas Mokhtar.
'In the current situation, reaching RM1mil is a very positive sign.
'I'm doing something that others don't do. This always involved taking risks with careful planning, particularly in budget management,' said Ahmad Idham.
Impak Maksima, which was released in 2007, made about RM2mil at the box office.
