THE Malaysian Timber Council (MTC) recently organised a familiarisation programme for local university lecturers that gave them the chance to create a greater understanding of Malaysian forestry and the Malaysian timber industry.
Through on-site learning opportunities with various companies, the four-day programme saw the participation of eight lecturers who specialise in the fields of forestry, interior and furniture design as well as architecture from five institutions of higher learning — Universiti Putra Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi Mara, International Islamic University of Malaysia, SEGi University College and KBU International College.
