Noraihan Abdul Rahman - Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Mdm. Noraihan Abdul Rahman holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Marketing) from the University of Arizona, USA, and has completed the Harvard Business School Online Certificate Programme on Leadership Principles.

She began her career with the Malaysian Timber Council (MTC) in 1995 as an Officer in the Market Promotion Division (MPD), where she advanced through various roles, including Deputy Director in 2010, and later Director of the Corporate Communications Division (CCD) in 2020. Over the years, she has played an instrumental role in expanding Malaysia’s timber trade outreach and strengthening MTC’s corporate visibility.

Appointed as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in December 2022, after serving as Chief Operations Officer (COO), Noraihan provides strategic leadership and organisational direction across all MTC divisions. She oversees the implementation of corporate strategies, industry development programmes, and stakeholder engagement initiatives to promote a sustainable, innovative, and globally competitive Malaysian timber industry.

Mokhtar Mohd Yaacob – Deputy Chief Executive Officer (DCEO)

Mr Mokhtar Yaacob holds a Bachelor of Science in Forestry (Forest Management) from Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (now Universiti Putra Malaysia). He brings with him extensive experience across both the upstream and downstream sectors of the timber industry, covering raw material supply, industrial development, and value-chain transformation.

He joined MTC in 1996 as an Officer in the Raw Material Supply Division, rejoining in 2011 after a brief departure. His leadership saw him progress to Manager in 2018, and later Director of the Industry Development Division in 2020, overseeing initiatives in industrial modernisation and competitiveness.

Appointed as Deputy Chief Executive Officer (DCEO) on 1 January 2024, Mokhtar provides strategic oversight and operational leadership across all MTC divisions. He focuses on driving organisational efficiency, programme alignment, stakeholder coordination, and advancing initiatives that support the Council’s mission of a sustainable and competitive timber industry.

Tan Ting Wai – Senior Director, Market Promotion Division (MPD)

Mr. Tan Ting Wai holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from Campbell University, North Carolina, USA.

He joined MTC in 1994 as an Officer in the Management Information System (MIS) Division and later served as Manager of the Public & Corporate Affairs Division (1997–2012). In 2012, he established MTC East Asia in Guangzhou, China, as a wholly owned foreign enterprise, strengthening Malaysia’s market presence and trade relations in the region.
