Durian lovers will soon have the opportunity to enjoy a holiday surrounded by the king of fruits in a hotel invested by Hong Kong actress Amy Yip and with local director Jack Neo as creative director.

The durian-themed hotel, located in Penang and said to be the first in Southeast Asia, aims to integrate the cultural characteristics of Singapore and Malaysia into its structure, according to a report by 8World yesterday (Dec 18).

Amy, who was in Singapore last weekend for Jack's walking group Pa Pa Zou, said it is her attempt to pay tribute to Malaysia tourism.

The 58-year-old shared: "Durian is always a delicacy that I look forward to eating every time I visit Malaysia. To be part of this project is my way of showing my love and support to durian culture."

Jack aims to incorporate elements from his comedy movie The King of Musang King (2023) into the hotel's aesthetics.
