International Trade Agreements

Are international trade agreements, such as the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Asean Economic Commuity (AEC) good for Singapore?

There is little discussion about these agreements in our local community. One reason is the lack of information given to the public about these agreements and their impacts on Singapore. The government prefers to treat the terms of these agreements as "confidential" or not for public discussion.

Here are what the ordinary people think about the TPP.
