    Malaysia ranks second in terms of Australian investment in the ASEAN countries (MITI 1993). During the 1980s both countries began to strengthen joint economic, trade and social ties. This process of bridge-building had its successes and failures. Most of the problems were caused by the meeting of two cultures with quite different historical, political and social origins. Some clashes were inevitable. The management and resolution of these conflicts has taken time, patience, sensitivity and respect from both nations (Woolcott 1991).…

    Presently countries are to share mutual strengths and overcome mutual weaknesses through combined efforts. As a result, countries are coming closer through various trade agreements like regional free trade agreements, bilateral free trade agreement even through cross-regional free trade agreements. Geographical distance is not an issue to act as a barrier today. ITC facilitates one touch connection between two cross-regional business interests. Signing bilateral free trade agreement is not only creating the condition for closer relations among the nations but also providing a common platform to act in a united fashion in other multilateral platforms like, multilateral trade negotiation in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and even in the global political arena under the UN. On the other hand, executing bilateral free trade agreement is comparatively easier than the regional or multilateral ones. Singapore is one of the countries that took these advantages. Singapore was founded as a British trading colony in 1819. The population of Singapore on October 22nd 2010 is approximately 5,024,650 (http://www.trueknowledge.com/q/population) with the ethnic groups percentage of 74.1% Chinese, 13.4% Malay, 9.2% Indian and 3.3% other ethnics.

    FTAs have been instrumental to importers enjoying preferential tariff rates instead of paying the full MFN rates thereby enjoying tariff savings, enhancing cost competiveness for our exports. It proves to be a better alternative to WTOs as it is able to gain better access to the market it which she values. In the 1993 ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA), Singapore signed the ASEAN Framework Agreement on Services, allowing it to abrogate any barriers to trade in services to better integrate its service industry. Through FTAs with targeted partner countries, Singapore is also able to pursue for specific terms which benefit her unique traits of her economy. The Intellectual Property (IP) Protection strengthens partner countries’ commitment to protect IP rights and renders Singapore leverage over her technological advancements, increasing her economic competiveness. However, WTOs are uniform in its trading terms across all member countries, stifling potential economic growth of individual countries. Thus, Singapore would do better to utilize FTAs as a direct yet effective way to improve her economy through the communication of specific trade concessions that will expedite her economy’s…

    According to Gurdil (2015), “the aim of TPPA is to secure a level playing field for all companies but the starting line is not on the same level for businesses from different parts of the world and of varying degrees of development”. Developed countries such as United States and Japan will definitely gain the most benefits by entering such treaty. Their corporations have strong injection of capitals, advanced technologies, hence producing more standardized and quality-wise products. Also, they have more authority in altering the safety and standard of production. The study from PwC (2015) said, “Once Malaysia signs the pact, it will no longer be able to impose restrictions on entities that wish to participate in supplying these goods and services”. The effects stated by a study from PwC can be similar illustrated in the past ASEAN agreement. According to Mahathir (2013), “Malaysia has agreed that cars with 40 percent local contents qualify as national and tax-free entry into ASEAN markets. However, cars from outside ASEAN can easily achieve forty percent local contents. This means the Japanese, Korean, Chinese and European cars can get ASEAN countries’ national status merely by being assembled in ASEAN countries together with batteries, tires and a few other components”. This shows that developed countries will have more authority and power to alter an agreement. Moreover, Proton is…

    India: Foreign Trade PolicyAlthough India has steadily opened up its economy, its tariffs continue to be high when compared with other countries, and its investment norms are still restrictive. This leads some to see India as a ‘rapid globalizer’ while others still see it as a ‘highly protectionist’ economy.Till the early 1990s, India was a closed economy: average tariffs exceeded 200 percent, quantitative restrictions on imports were extensive, and there were stringent restrictions on foreign investment. The country began to cautiously reform in the 1990s, liberalizing only under conditions of extreme necessity. Since that time, trade reforms have produced remarkable results. India’s trade to GDP ratio has increased from 15 percent to 35 percent of GDP between 1990 and 2005, and the economy is now among the fastest growing in the world.Average non-agricultural tariffs have fallen below 15 percent, quantitative restrictions on imports have been eliminated, and foreign investments norms have been relaxed for a number of sectors.India however retains its right to protect when need arises. Agricultural tariffs average between 30-40 percent, anti-dumping measures have been liberally used to protect trade, and the country is among the few in the world that continue to ban foreign investment in retail trade. Although this policy has been somewhat relaxed recently, it remains considerably restrictive.Nonetheless, in recent years, the government’s stand on trade and investment policy has displayed a marked shift from protecting ‘producers’ to benefiting ‘consumers’. This is reflected in its Foreign Trade Policy for 2004/09 which states that, "For India to become a major player in world trade ...we have also to facilitate those imports which are…
