You must be kidding. You think there are no durians in Batam?
A few years ago I brought a durian with me from Batam to my home town in Europe. Procedure:
1) Buy durian at street market in the middle between Formosa and Newton.
2) Put durian in a bag in my bathroom at Formosa.
3) Deeply regret that just 1 hour after.
4) Put the durian in a backpack, with dirty clothes from my 10 days trip away from home.
5) Put 10 kg of mangos, mangiss, 1 papaya, various fruit in my luggage with other things things.
6) Have 2 hours fun (last fun in Batam before leaving) in my room with a girl hired from some massage joint
7) Collect my stuff, checkout, ta.ke taxi, go to Harbour Bay, all with my durian-enhanced backpack, 25-kg luggage, laptop bag.
8) Pass immigration, take ferry, arrive to Harbour Front
9) Pass immigration and customs. They seek alcohol and tobacco, do not care about a durian in a backpack.
10) Take MRT from Harbour Front, change at Outram Park, reach Changi. Total one hour in MRT, having the durian in the backpack. Someine smells it, but how can they know where is the durian?
11) Reach Terminal 1, drop-off my luggage and durian-enhanced backpack at Air France checkin desk
12) 18 hours later, I reach my home town. I do not go to my home, of course. I go to my parent's home, to show them the durian and to cut it THERE.
