“There will be a time when we will totally ban the export of our logs. We want to do it because we want all those involved in forest plantation (projects) to expedite the development of forest plantations because in the near future most of our timber resources will come from forest plantations,” said Awang Tengah, who is also Second Minister for Urban Development and Natural Resources, at the Sarawak Timber Industry Development Corporation (STIDC) monthly staff gathering.
