Seven major business associations have thrown their support for Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA).

They have asked those who oppose it, including former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM), to show proof that TPPA is not good for the country.

Among them are Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM), Malaysian International Chambers of Commerce and Industry (MICCI), the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) and SME Association of Malaysia.

The others include Malay Consulative Council (MPM), Malay Businessmen and Industrialist Association of Malaysia (Perdasama) and American Malaysian Chamber of Commerce (Amcham).
