Malaysia: Miti keeps TPP details “confidential” despite open day on pact

Putrajaya reiterated today it will not reveal details of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement due to a "confidentiality" clause despite hosting an open day to answer questions about the controversial 12-nation trade pact.

The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (Miti) had launched the full-day event to calm tensions and answer criticisms about Malaysia's position in the trade pact but businessmen and traders expressed disappointment over its secrecy and worry about its implications.
