Cheah Kam Huan, CEO of the Malaysian Timber Council, explains why timber is not a sunset industry, and says illegal logging is not a big issue in Malaysia compared to other countries. This is despite the Norwegian Government Pension Fund selling down its shares in a major logging company. The MTC is mainly focused on working with timber players in Peninsular Malaysia while companies in Sarawak, the global players, are outside its purview. The Council mainly looks into branding and marketing of timber products.
