Phony & Artificially Coloured Guava-Apple Hybrid Fruit - 2007/05/24 15:41
Recently, it came out in the local newspaper that somebody wet to Cameron Highlands and managed to buy some guava-apple hybrid fruit.
Eventually it turned out to be just some common Thai-like guavas and it was not even a hybrid between apple and guava. To make thing worse, the unscrupulous con men or culprits coloured the exterior of the phony fruit with pinkish green or red in order to make the fruit look attractive to buyers.
But all the farmers and businessmen in Cameron Highlands denied this allegation. The farmers in CH claimed non of them plant this kind of hybrid fruit in Cameron Highlands. But somebody in Cameron Highlands must had done something to set up this scam?? The phony fruits will not just appeared and sold in Cameron Highlands out of middle of nowhere??
Can somebody enlightened me on this issue?? Is there anyone out there can provide some clues to this incident?? So anyone who is going to visit Cameron Highlands soon. Please be careful and watch out for this scam.
