The Merbau (Malacca teak) tree is Malaysia’s National Tree.
Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad made the announcement during his speech opening the Hutan Kita (Our Forests) exhibition at the Kuala Lumpur Tower here.
Meanwhile, Water, Land and Natural Resources Minister Dr Xavier Jayakumar said the Merbau tree was selected as a symbol of the integrity of the nation’s forest as a result of sustainable management and the conservation of the Malaysian biodiversity.
Merbau is a very attractive wood, with its growth ring figure and deep colour. The timber is suitable for interior finishing, panelling, mouldings, office fittings, flooring (heavy traffic), superior joinery, cabinet-making, musical instruments, ornamental items and carvings. The timber is widely used for the manufacture of reproduction antique furniture and strip flooring in the country. It is also suitable for heavy construction, power transmission poles, railway sleepers, decking, columns (heavy duty), door and window frames and sills, fender supports, staircase (apron lining, rough bracket, baluster, balustrade, carriage, handrail, newel, riser, stringer, tread, bullnose, round end and winder), heavy duty furniture, tool handles (impact) and pallets (heavy permanent type).
