Abstract:
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement or TPPA, is a vehicle for trade liberalization through expanded market access, and increased foreign direct investment (FDI) for the 11 nations in the Trans-Pacific Partnership in the Asia-Pacific region. Even though Malaysian government has signed the agreement, but the Government is still finding the right time to implement the TPPA. The aim of this paper is to explore the benefits and the challenges of implementing the TPPAto Malaysia. It also examines the awareness and knowledge of university students about TPPA. The findings of the study revealed that students are not aware and have limited knowledge of the contents of TPPA. It is suggested that the Malaysian government should be more transparent and actively promote the TPPA program to our younger generation.
