Does Malaysia has poison ivy plant?

I need to know if this part of the world has poison ivy plant and if do, does it share the same features and characteristics? It would be better if anyone can give a Malay name to this plant.

    There sure are! There are three native species of poison ivy in Malaysia all under the species name Toxicodendron. I believe they all share common features. There is also a species called Rengas, a tree that is very annoying because of urushiol. Had a bad experience with Gingko. Causes dermatitis, sometimes severe in sensitive people.

    Hope this helps
