KUALA LUMPUR (April 25): The Ministry of Plantation and Commodities announced on Friday that all licensed exporting companies under the Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB) are only permitted to export gloves sourced from local manufacturing facilities, with immediate effect.
According to the ministry, this instruction, which falls under the MRB’s Licensing and Permit Regulations 2014, is intended to maintain product quality standards and prevent Malaysia from becoming a destination for trade diversion from other countries.
“This measure is taken to ensure product quality and the sustainability of the nation’s rubber glove industry,” the ministry said in a statement.

The news doesn't mention specifically 'Natural rubber glove' and the main point is not letting other countries manipulate Malaysia as an export hub of their rubber glove. This ensures Malaysia's reputation as a strong producer of quality rubber gloves.
The fact that 95% of hartalega products are mainly focused on Nitrile glove products is true.
Nitrile is still classified as 'Rubber Gloves' in industry. Synthetic rubber is considered rubber.
