ABSTRACT
Forestry research has generated important data regarding the stocking and species composition of logged-over forests. The outputs are invaluable information that could ensure accurate discussion among experts and practitioners and could properly steer the way forward for the national timber industry. This article provides some basic information on common timber species in the secondary forests of Peninsular Malaysia. The data are based on four selected areas of production forests, namely Tekam Forest Reserve in Pahang, Cherul Forest Reserve in Terengganu, Ulu Muda Forest Reserve in Kedah, and Piah Forest Reserve in Perak.

ABSTRACT
Powder-post beetles are the pests of dry wood/bamboo either when these materials are in storage or applied to building structures. To date, the discussion on the resistance of materials and treatments against powder-post beetles has been very limited. Identifying and avoiding conditions that may lead to this deterioration is important to ensure proper (not attacked by any pest agents) wood/bamboo performance in the production of the final product. This article reviews the most common powder-post beetles of wood and bamboo structures in Malaysia. Three powder-post beetles species were discussed, including their general physical descriptions, possible damage, wood species susceptible to these pest agents and measures to eliminate them.
