[Tempatan] Majlis Tindakan Ekonomi Melayu : Tsunami ekonomi bakal melanda bulan Oktober ini

Malay business council warns of 'economic tsunami'

The Malay Economic Action Council (MTEM) has warned that a new tsunami - an economic one - will hit Malaysia soon due to the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) that is expected to conclude by October, and will leave local businesses vulnerable.

"This new trade regime is a tsunami that will land in Malaysia, far greater than the political tsunami that just happened," warned MTEM chief executive oficer Mohd Nizam Mashshar.

Mohd Nizam (left) said, during a press conference in Kuala Lumpur, that the free trade agreement will have far-reaching impact on the country's local businesses and cost of living.

"An example, we estimate cost of medication will increase from RM200 to RM1,200 because generic medication can no longer be used as intellectual property rights for pharmaceutical companies will be extended under the agreement," he said.

He said among the other impacts include the local rice industry being overwhelmed by the influx of heavily subsidised American grain and wheat, local professional services such as lawyers and architects will face international competition, Malaysia becoming vulnerable to international lawsuits from multi-national corporations and preferential treatment for local companies is not allowed.

"The agreement may also render Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's 1Malaysia products such as Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia illegal as it can be seen as a trade barrier because it gives subsidised rates to products - this can be a preferential treatment and violates the TPPA, Malaysia could be brought to the international court," he said.

He added that the use of a "negative list" means that the agreement will cover all industries unless it is exempted in a special list, as compared to a "positive list" where only industries listed will be covered.

'Lack of transparency'

Mohd Nizam further hit out at the government for lack of transparency in the negotiations of the trade agreement.

He declared MTEM will embark on a campaign for all MPs and state assemblypersons on both side of the divide to make clear their stance on the agreement.

"We did not know the content of the negotiations until we saw leaked documents uploaded on the Internet.

"We have very little time left, the 17th negotiation will start on May 15 to 24, in Peru and in one or two more negotiations, it will be completed... the TPPA is planned to be signed and officially launched in October 2013, most likely in Brunei," he said.

Mohd Nizam pointed out that several nations involved in the free trade agreement were already protesting but it had fallen off the radar in Malaysia.

According to the Malaysian International Trade and Industry's (Miti) website, the TPPA is a free trade agreement involving eleven countries, namely Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, United States and Vietnam.

It said that the TPPA is aimed towards deeper integration within the Asia Pacific region and would allow Malaysia to better engage the US.

"MTEM, together with its 50 NGO members representing half a million local enterprises, strongly urges the government to withdraw further TPPA involvement until a full accounting and cost-benefit analysis has been conducted, proper and meaningful public consultation and presented to parliament.

"The TPPA must be decided by the people of Malaysia, not by secretive bureaucrats," said Mohd Nizam.

You cannot stop change. It's impossible. Sama lah mcm mencuba menghalang tsunami dpd berlaku.

Siapa yg fikir ubat murah akan kekal harganya sepanjang hayat pendek kita ni, mrk bodoh. Sama bodoh dgn mrk yg percaya dgn kata2 Anwat.

Americans punya economic army dah depan pintu yeaaaaars ago. BN dah lama melengah2kan mrk. Anwat was supposed to make their move a breeze dgn menang PRU13 ini. Tapi BN berjaya mematahkan rancangan mrk.

kalau tsunami, semua pun mati. Tsunami tak mengenal bangsa. Allah pun tak mengenal bangsa. Allah hanya kenal umatnya yg tak rasis.

We have been delaying the americans for quite a long time. Kami guna birokrasi, undang2 dan policy yg berat sebelah.

Kenapa berat sebelah? Just imagine kita penat2 buat ubat, buat research, testing dan mcm2 lagi just nak produce 1 ubat, tapi bila nak jual kat Malaysia, kerajaan BN kata you must allow us to copy(pirate) your ubat and sell them in our country as generic so that our bangsat2 rakyat miskin hina dina urban tu boleh beli ubat, if you want to sell your ubat here. Imagine the audacity?

Sampai bila kita boleh delay the americans? If we don't budge, mrk tak kasik kita masuk pasaran mrk. Then how? You tell me.

Kalau produk dr US murah syukor lah...

Local farmers ade niche market.

Mana2 sykt bumiputra/cinapek yg incompetent tu boleh la bungkus..

In the end consumers win...harga barang patutnya lagi murah..

Kalau harga ubat mahal, it will make local pharma punya demand meningkat...import substitution kekdahnya...so r&d dlm perubatan juga akan berkembang.
