On 7 August 1971, representatives from The
Sarawak First and Second Divisions Sawmillers’ Association, The Third Division
& Bintulu District Sawmillers’ Association, and The Fourth Division Timber
Merchants’ Association convened and explored, quoting from the minutes, “the
necessity of establishing a united body that will look after the interest of
the timber and sawmilling industry and also serve as a vehicle to liaise
between the Government and its members, and in many other ways assist member
insofar as regards the law”. Consequently,
the Sarawak Timber Association (STA) or Persatuan Kayu-Kayan Sarawak was founded
on 7 December 1971.
STA restructured its membership on 20 September 1988 when existing
members of the Associations then were disbanded, and together they joined a
single association, STA. Today, STA has
approximately 360 members and is the only timber trade association representing
both the upstream and downstream sectors in Malaysia.
