Exiting TPPA would bankrupt Malaysia, says Dr M

PETALING JAYA: While Malaysia could technically get out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) anytime it wanted, such a move would bankrupt the country due to litigation costs, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

In a statement on his blog on Thursday, the former prime minister cautioned that it would not be so easy for the country to extricate itself from the treaty as was said by International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.
