An opened Musang King durian

Edit warring to remove Singapore

So a very persistant IP vandal has been removing all mentions of Singapore since at least October 2022. I find this quite puzzling, since the article makes it clear that Musang King is a Malaysian variety found, developed and exported from Malaysia, and Singaporeans just eat a lot of them. Dear vandal: what exactly is making you unhappy? Jpatokal (talk) 04:16, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Mao Shan Wang as alternative name

The WP:COMMONNAME of the durian variety known as Musang King in Malaysia is Mao Shan Wang in Singapore, see eg. Google Trends. (That spike in 2022 marks the release of Jack Neo's movie King of Musang King.) "D197" is rarely if ever used, and "Raja Kunyit" is rarely if ever used in either country; if anything it's often implied to be a separate variety, as in this link.

So I would propose that we put both Musang King and Mao Shan Wang in the lead sentence, in that order, and leave the other names for the infobox alone. Jpatokal (talk) 09:44, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
