MALAYSIA produces renowned quality furniture and yet, some Malaysians are less than willing to buy locally made products and prefer to spend their money on “fast” furniture, according to the KL & Selangor Furniture Association (KSFA).

KSFA president Eric Lee said many of such poor quality furniture ended up in the landfill – creating wastage and costing consumers more money in the long run.
