You can give your opinion on TPPA here:

Bumiputera agenda is no different from any racist agenda. Only Umno can Syiok Sendiri.
TPPA won’t endorse direct negotiation dealings that Bolehland’s affirmative policy insists upon? With open tender system enforced under TPPA, English to become global commercial language and umnoputras have to compete beyond protected n favoured jaguh kampungs?
Cuba fikir
TPPA should not coexist with NEP in order to be fair to all.
– Where is IDEAS getting its finance from? It often attends many conferences overseas. Has it made any statements on the real poverty including (a) median income (b) income of the bottom 20% (c) extreme poverty?
– Nobel Laureates and others have already explained that (a) Malaysia will loose (b)gain for USA is marginal. Past treaties of this sort have proven disastrous for the PEOPLE of all countries participating including “developed” ones. So ask yourself why the politicians are so anxious to implement them.
