Misif supports Malaysia’s participation in TPPA

SHAH ALAM: The Malaysian Iron and Steel Industry Federation (Misif) is in full support of Malaysia’s participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), according to its president Datuk Soh Thian Lai.

Soh said in a press statement yesterday that local exporters stand to be less competitive “if they decided not to participate in the TPPA as many will be excluded from enjoying the preferential tariffs compared with competing countries like Vietnam and Singapore.”
