Notes: 1 The value of the total exports of manufactured products, compiled by Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), differs from the value of the total export of manufactured products contained in the Ninth Malaysia Plan, due to the difference in product groupings adopted by MITI and Economic Planning Unit (EPU).
For example, in 2005, the figure by MITI was RM413.1 billion, while the figure by EPU was RM429.9 billion

      2  Export values in this Table differ from the export values of the targeted growth industries, due to differ coverage in the product groupings
