that is laminated (i.e that white surface) plywood, but of not-so-good quality.

hi, hihihi

thanks for the reply. how do you tell that it's not-so-good quality plywood? I've tried doing some online search but couldn't find much information.

That is called blockwood, which is basically plywood sandwiching blocks of wood, trying to be similar to solid wood.

If got gaps between the blocks.. not so good lor. (See the pix in link .. very tightly spaced)

Maybe is china plywood or maybe is contractor uses 2 thin sheets of plywood to sandwich the left over strip.

The picture shown above is blockwood. It is normally used for shelving or doors because of its weight. You can't possibly want to spend much strength opening or carrying heavy shelves or doors right? It is technically alright to use blockwood unless you are referring to the bodies(carcass) of cabinets which should be in plywood.

For cabinet carcasses, contractors should use plywood because of its strength as they are pieces of wood laminated together.
