The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA)

1. TPPA would give equal treatment to investors of huge multinational companies from countries like the United States to bid for government projects that have been awarded to Bumiputera companies. If the government gives preferential treatment to indigenous companies, foreign investors may sue and the Malaysian government to an international tribunal. This means, the privileges of the Malays and Bumiputera as enshrined in the Federal Constitution no longer apply and government policies to develop the economy of the Malays and the natives would shackled by a foreign power giant international companies that control the international tribunal. South Africa has been confronted with this problem and was forced to give in, when fundamentally people-black (similar NEP) has been challenged in an international tribunal.

2. TPP is expected to abolish import duties on rice from the United States, which is currently charged at 40%. When this tax was abolished, the price of American rice is cheaper than the price of local rice because of high subsidies given to US government rice producer country, causing the price of rice can not be matched by the prices of rice in our country. When this happens, the rice industry of our country will be paralyzed, thousands of farmers lost their source of income, we will rely on the supply of rice from the United States is the third largest rice exporter in the world. The final effect is threatened national food security and sovereignty compromised.

3. Standard Halal Malaysia will be treated as "non-tax barriers" that restrict free trade. Existing standards will be "subdued" Best Practices standards reference Americans serve as the reference in the TPPA negotiations. Of course Jakim has no power to monitor the processed meats in the United States. More companies in the country are in breach of the conditions laid down, much less overseas companies. Malaysia Halal certification also covers medicinal products, cosmetics and so on, which of course is difficult to be observed by foreign companies. This all will be compromised on the grounds of free trade.

4. Any new rules -after TPPA sealed imposed on the products or activities of foreign companies, which were found to cause environmental pollution or harm to people's health, will be challenged in an international tribunal. Uruguay, Australia, Ecuador, Canada, Mexico is a few examples of countries that have become a victim of a free trade agreement with the United States involving billions of US dollars in the international tribunal issue.

5. Equal treatment of investors from foreign giants will also put the Malay reserve land at high risk. Restrictions on the company's foreign investors to own land reserves for commercial purposes would be challenged in an international tribunal. In addition, the act of "criminal nation" that mengalibabakan possession of reserve land will be extended to involve giant American investors as well.

6. The films pornographic and violent films produced by international manufacturers will be marketed freely in the country because of the censorship of films deemed a "non-tax barriers" are deleted in the TPP. Film Censorship Board states no longer can perform its functions and the people of this country will be exposed to an increasingly destructive spectacle of moral and moral values ​​in addition to the existing social problems that have been chronic.

7. The price of medicines will increase from 60% to 80% of the price now, because the TPPA would further tighten the requirements for the manufacture of generic drugs, which have so far supplied over 80% of the medicines required for a cheap price.

8. Basic prioritize local workers, such as regulations requiring foreign companies to transfer technology and provide training to locals, the regulations that protect local employees from the point of health, safety, welfare and minimum wage is no longer feasible in the TPPA. It is up to the company to foreign investors to set their own standards. The result is that the entry of skilled workers from countries such as the United States, without those responsible for training local workers, and the dumping of cheap labor from countries such as Vietnam, Bangladesh and so on. Our workers are forced to compete with foreign workers, on an equal basis.

9. TPPA is actually the American agenda to broaden his powers on the Asian side, to rival China, which is forecast to become a major power coming years. That is, only six chapters, from chapter 29 in the TPPA really related to trade. The rest of the associated control policies and policies that provide the traction United States on the countries involved. In fact, Malaysia is not necessary TPPA, because without any trade agreements we already have a trade surplus of nearly one billion by the United States in March 2015 alone. While on the other hand, TPPA would restrict the freedom of our trade with China Enemies political, economic and military America- which is the largest trading partner we are today with a trade value of RM17.16 billion in March 2015. In fact, this agreement is actually only benefit large corporations dominated American Judeo-which the American public and victimize its own citizens. That's why it was rejected by some American politicians are still close to the people.

10. In reality, the Malays and the natives can not compete in the state, much less to compete with foreign traders and investors giant multinational companies. Facts show that only 8% Bumiputera in managerial positions in the private sector, has only 8.2% of large companies and 25% of the property value in Malaysia. Should deny the reality of fantasy.

11. The above argument can not be denied or refuted by solid evidence by the consultant appointed by the government. This is because there is evidence that they are negotiating texts or draft treaty under discussion. However, they can not use it because it is a text or draft documents secret and not made public. Nearly all MPs, whether the government or the opposition, do not have access to the document or in a language easy to read and never know about it. After the documents leaked, then all the expectations about the TPPA made -based trade agreements with other countries in the Americas before this- apparently true. The negotiations have been going on for years in secret. Parties drafting is the US government with the direct advice of more than 600 giant companies. While some lucky people in the government who are directly involved and know the details of the negotiations in detail the text is Datuk Jayasiri A / L Jayasena as chief negotiator and Tan Sri Dr Rebecca Fatima Sta Maria, Director General of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, which is in their hands lies the fate of our country's sovereignty.
