The Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement is due to be tabled in Parliament early next year, in the form of a Yes-No vote. This means no changes will be made to the trade deal, which all 12 prospective members countries have reached a consensus on. Many questions remain unanswered over the terms and conditions in the document, and today we discuss what this means for Malaysia, and what the TPPA will do to the Asean region.
