The Obama Administration achieved a symbolic milestone in October 2015 when the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement was signed among 12 nations. The total trade share between the United States (US) and TTP partners are estimated at US892.4 billion. An important implication of TPP is the explicit expectation on Malaysia to ameliorate its poignant foreign labour practices. The paper examines the extent of TPP-readiness among Malaysia and US companies in tackling foreign labour issues. Concomitantly, the feasibility of TPP's ambitious standards on labour rights or remains a political rhetoric? | |
