Salam Tokdet,
Hello Bloggers...
The topic is not new to me. I am refering to Tun's stand on FTA all the while. Glad to find out that it is still intact. For bloggers who are still blur with the topic such as Wenger Khairy, Joe Therapist and Donplaypuks please understand the topic before you're jump like crazy American ass kissing bitch, read those definition and stop talking shit...
What Does Nontariff Barrier Mean?
A form of restrictive trade where barriers to trade are set up and take a form other than a tariff. Nontariff barriers include quotas, levies, embargoes, sanctions and other restrictions, and are frequently used by large and developed economies.
Investopedia explains Nontariff Barrier
Nontariff barriers are another way for an economy to control the amount of trade that it conducts with another economy, either for selfish or altruistic purposes. Any barrier to trade will create an economic loss, as it does not allow markets to function properly. The lost revenues resulting from the barrier to trade can be called an economic loss.
So What Tokdet is saying is that there is no such Free Trade when there will be Non-Trafiff Barrier or any form of it. It is fun to have people like you to produce different opinion but sometime you guys are quite annoying. Janganlar membangangkan diri...Then you said to Tokdet that he is no clue of what his saying.
Keep the fact simple. Because we are what we're talking about. And you don't want to look like an idiot when you talk.....

eanisazman,
Congratulations on s! wearing and calling people names. Unfortunately I can't repay the compliment because we have been brought up to be careful with our words, especially when commenting on Tun Dr. Mahahtir's blog.
Tun says America is hypocritical because of the protectionism afforded to the Soy farmers, the litigation against a rubber glove manufacturer and discrimination against the cat fish from the Vietnam.
According to the Mahathirists,
the discrimination against the Vietnamese Catfish "labels" America as a protectionist hypocrite
(Anyway that catfish looks way uglier than the Yank version)
These are nitpicking on smallEXCEPTIONS.
In any policy, there will always be EXCEPTIONS. By and large the United States practises free trade.
My point was to show the trade deficit America has with the rest of the world. Its about USD 3 trillion over 5 years.
If America was the land of protectionism how on earth can this take place?
This is the essence of my contrarian argument. The fact that by and large America does practise free trade, quotas and restrictive trade practises are only for selected politically sensitive industries with little or no impact on GDP and to prove it I quoted a statistic.
Your argument that America is a hypocrite rests on some flimsy examples. What just because there is protection afforded to soy crop farmers means America is a hypocrite?
That is the problem with Tun's supporters. They can only see black and white. Its either 100% correct or 100% wrong. Little or no ! discreti on.
Tell me which Govt policy has a 100% ring fence associated with it? There are always execptions. If America had protected all its sensitive industry - yes then Tun has a point.
In the case of Malaysia, Malaysia enjoys a USD 10 billion trade surplus with Malaysia. Malaysia earns net foreign exchange on account that America does not impose trade barriers against Malaysia.
So I turn around and ask you.
We trade 3x our GDP. Isn't it hypocritical to be against free trade when we ourselves benefit so much by trading with the world?
If you want to call names and act as a hero, pls by all means come over to my blog.
We do not censor people in my blog. You are free to make your case and I have a relatively thick skin to take theoccasionalinsult and jibe.
Its embarassing that you folk like to "baling batu sembunyi tangan" in Tun's blog.
Be a man for once in your life or forever hold your silence.
