Association may use acacia wood for furniture-making

Muar Furniture Association (MFA) wants to explore the possibilities of using acacia wood in furniture-making as an alternative to rubberwood.

For the past 30 years, international furniture buyers had generally accepted the use of rubberwood for furniture, which was a key feature that elevated Muar as the furniture city of Malaysia, said MFA president Steve Ong Yeou Huan.
