Explanation:
The explanation (in English) can be referred from a few websites (see below). But what might be the best answer in Malay?

There is one translation for "white goods" which is "barangan putih" in http://prpm.dbp.gov.my/Search.aspx?k=goods. Hopefully it is helpful.

Barangan Elektrik Konsumer


Explanation:
White Good Products in Business terms means Heavy Consumer durables such as fridge, air-conditioner, etc. Reasons, please view the link. As it is an English business reference term, we have to approach it differently rather than direct. Just my opinion.

Explanation:

This is an alternative to kwidjoyo's suggestion. I agree with his explanation.

The term elektrik in there is important to distinguish from home/consumer electronic products.
