PETALING JAYA - Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim warned Prime Minister Najib Razak that he stood to damage Malaysia's reputation in the region if the latter were to rush to enter the controversial US-mooted TPPA just to please President Barack Obama who is due to visit Malaysia in October.
"We should reject the TPPA for our own sake because it does not benefit Malaysia. If Najib were to rush into the agreement merely because of Obama's visit, we would be seen as lackeys of the US," Anwar told a press conference on Monday.
Within Southeast Asia, Thailand and Indonesia have expressed reservations over the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement, which is the brainchild of Obama himself.
