Malaysia Fest 2026 In Singapore: Tourism Malaysia Unveils Durian Packages “Klang Valley Edition”

 

SINGAPORE — Capitalising on the peak of the mid-year durian season, Tourism Malaysia has officially unveiled its Durian Packages (Klang Valley Edition). The initiative was launched by the Deputy  Minister of Agriculture & Food Security Malaysia, The Honourable Datuk Chan Foong Hin together with the newly appointed High Commissioner of Malaysia to Singapore, Her Excellency Datin Paduka Anizan Siti Hajjar Adnin, during the 9th edition of Malaysia Fest held in Singapore.

Timed to coincide with the peak harvest of the "King of Fruits", the Klang Valley Edition combines Malaysia's renowned durian experiences with the vibrant attractions of the nation's capital. Visitors to Malaysia Fest 2026 can discover thoughtfully curated itineraries that seamlessly blend modern city experiences with authentic visits to durian orchards located just outside bustling Kuala Lumpur. From shopping at world-class malls and exploring iconic city landmarks to indulging in premium, freshly harvested Musang King durians at nearby orchards, the packages offer travellers the best of both worlds.

Mr Mohd Amirul Rizal Abdul Rahim, Director General of Tourism Malaysia, said, “Durian has evolved from just a seasonal fruit into a compelling travel motivator. With the Klang Valley Edition, we aim to show travellers that they do not have to choose between a cosmopolitan city holiday and an authentic, farm-to-table durian feast. You can easily shop at world-class malls in the morning and be cracking open a fresh, naturally fallen Musang King in an orchard by the afternoon. We anticipate this will provide a significant boost to our tourism arrivals from Singapore, especially for the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) campaign.”

Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines formalise joint business partnership

 

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and Singapore Airlines (SIA) have confirmed the formalisation of their joint business partnership following regulatory approvals in both countries. The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia granted approval in January 2026, following approval by the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore in July 2025. 

The approvals allow both airlines to begin progressively implementing measures to deepen their commercial cooperation. These may include revenue-sharing services between Malaysia and Singapore, joint fare products, coordinated flight schedules and joint corporate travel arrangements. 

Further details will be announced as initiatives are introduced. 

The partnership is intended to enhance connectivity between Malaysia and Singapore and provide customers with greater flexibility when travelling between the two markets. 

Since signing their initial agreement in October 2019, the two carriers have expanded their codeshare arrangements. SIA currently codeshares on MAS flights between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, London Heathrow, and 15 domestic destinations within Malaysia. 

MAS codeshares on SIA services between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and Penang, as well as flights to Barcelona, Brussels, Cape Town, Copenhagen, Istanbul, Johannesburg, London Heathrow, Rome and Zurich. 

In February 2024, the airlines introduced reciprocal frequent flyer programme benefits, allowing members of Enrich and KrisFlyer to earn points and miles on selected flights operated by either carrier. 

“This collaboration brings together complementary frequencies and aligned schedules, enabling deeper connectivity between Malaysia and Singapore. Over time, it reinforces Malaysia Airlines’ competitive position by enhancing scale, relevance, and network resilience across key markets,” said Izham bin Ismail, group managing director of Malaysia Aviation Group. 

“Our win-win collaboration strengthens both carriers’ operations, while delivering enhanced value to customers across our combined networks. This also reinforces the long-standing and deep people-to-people and trade links between Singapore and Malaysia, supporting economic growth and connectivity that will benefit both nations,” added Goh Choon Phong, CEO of SIA.
