AN INVITATION TO TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP
AGREEMENT/FREE TRADE AGREEMENT PARALLEL PEOPLE’S
CONFERENCE

9th December, 2011 in Kuala Lumpur
The Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement /Free Trade Agreement negotiations will
be held in Kuala Lumpur from the 5th December, 2011 till the 9th December, 2011.
This TPP trade agreements have drastic implications on all sectors of the rakyat.
But currently negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), and
Free Trade Agreement with the USA are happening behind closed doors where all
the text being discussed are not shown to the public, thus we do not know what is
being agreed on our behalf by the government.
If the FTA is signed,it will make it harder for farmers and manufacturing workers to
make a living. It will make medicines and books more expensive for all Malaysians. It
will make it harder for the government to regulate foreign companies in the interests
of the 99% of Malaysians, including environmental and health regulations. Come to
this Public Forum to learn how you will be affected by these secret negotiations!
