Malaysia is a country located in Southeast Asia. The country is divided into two parts: Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia. Peninsular Malaysia is located on the Malay Peninsula, while East Malaysia is located on the island of Borneo.

Malaysia is a top exporter of tropical hardwood logs, with a export value of $1.3 billion in 2016. The majority of Malaysia's log exports are shipped to China, which imported $1.1 billion worth of Malaysian logs in 2016. Other top destinations for Malaysian log exports include Japan, South Korea, and India.

The Malaysian timber industry is an important part of the country's economy, with the export of logs and other timber products accounting for around 15% of Malaysia's total exports. The timber industry employs around 1 million people, making it one of the largest employers in the country.

The Malaysian government has put in place a number of policies and programs to support the timber industry, including the Malaysian Timber Certification Scheme, which was launched in 2001. The scheme is designed to promote sustainable forestry practices and to ensure that all timber products exported from Malaysia are sourced from legal and sustainable sources.
