TIMBER INDUSTRY
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ( STIDC ) also known as PUSAKA
was established in June 1973 under the Perbadanan Perusahaan
Kemajuan Kayu Sarawak Ordinance 1973. Its incorporation
was initiated following the recommendation of the Food

which conducted a comprehensive forest inventory in
the state from 1968 to 1972.
The function would
be to stimulate by all possible means the planned expansion
of wood-based industries throughout Sarawak at a role
consistent with the overall interest of the economy,
the availability of capital and the technical expertise
and effective management of the forest resources.
