New TPP: What’s in it for us, DAP asks

PETALING JAYA: DAP’s Charles Santiago has urged the government to come out with a new cost-benefit analysis to explain what is at stake for Malaysia if it proceeds with the trade pact that could replace the original 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement.
The Klang MP said it was important for the government to give a clear picture of how the so-called TPP11 could impact Malaysia’s growth and if it would benefit businesses in the country.
The TPP11 involves all the countries which were part of the original trade pact, minus the US which pulled out after President Donald Trump took office a year ago.
