With a special parliamentary session set to commence this month to decide on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), the Malay Chamber of Commerce Malaysia (MCCM) has reminded the government of past experiences signing treaties and agreements.

“The 1885 Anglo-Johor Treaty was a friendship treaty where the British were supposed to send an advisor,” MCCM president Syed Ali Alattas said in a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.
