‘Harmless’ Citizens of Indonesia; Please DON’T make the same Mistake as Canadians Re; Corporate ‘America’.
TPP & other Global Corporate Treaties/’Arrangements’; So what if the 6 years of negotiations was secret,
‘…YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN’.
- U.S. president George H.W. Bush regarding the U.S. ‘reneging’ on the FTA Foray with Canada.

Living with Litigious & Anti-Tort Corporate ‘America’;
So, You’ve Never Been Secretly Sued Before Off the Top of National Budgets to Increase value of corporate shares & dividends…

TPP, et al, base for future changes for what Global Corporate Economy; your tax dollars to fund their enterprises & value of shares with No Corporate Liabilities & Corporate future considerations…

...One of the things that the 95% - 99% of Canadians who make up the grassroots of Canada & who cannot afford to be shareholders of corporate Canada in the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), etc., & the other non-shareholding citizens of the potential signatories of the TPP, such as Australia, might consider remembering is a remark by former U.S. president George H.W. Bush regarding the arrangements between corporate America & corporate Canada in the NAFTAgreement,
&
that is:
"Well, you should have known".

Did he mean that the Canadian politicians, &/or, the members of corporate Canada that Bush was dealing with should have asked him (Bush) if all of the relevant contingencies had been discussed, understood & agreed upon, including dispute mechanisms & escrow accounts, funded by corporate Canada & corporate America, set up to cover the costs of adjudicating any dispute resolutions and
to pay for any punitive penalties, &/or, damages prior to finalizing any deals, arrangements, treaties, agreements, et al.

Or, did President Bush mean that the aforementioned Canadians representatives did do their due diligence & it was the Canadian representatives who should
have told the aforementioned 95% - 99% of the grassroots Canadians that the above due diligence procedures were in place, but, the grassroots Canadians have to pay the costs of procedures & penalties because they, the grassroots
Canadians, had not thought to inquire that the procedures were in fact "in-place", & thereby, ensure that the aforementioned procedures, etc. would ensure that the either, corporate Canada, or, corporate America would pay for both; the penalties & the procedures.

Or, should the grassroots of Canada have known that corporate America had no intention of honoring parts of the treaty right from the start, but the US- Canada
Agreement (NAFTA) was quickly ratified with suggestions that any deficiencies, or,
“forget-me-nots”, etc. to the agreement would be amicably settled on an on-going basis?

Therefore, when it comes to any present arrangement, treaty, &/or, agreement that may have anything to do with corporate American, such as; the TPPartnership, law enforcement, etc., we now know better, but, now, do not ask, or,
insist that the enforceable procedures, penalties, escrow funding from corporates Canada & corporate America, et al, be agreed upon by the grassroots Canada in a series of plebiscites prior to proceeding any further?

And, if corporate Canada fails to provide the plebiscites, et al, when will the grassroots be enabled to sue both of the corporate Canada's escrow accounts which corporate Canada will have to set aside the funds for the grassroots
legal funds as a prerequisite (ie. to investigate & prosecute...

(Edited) Or, did President Bush mean that the U.S. would make sure that corporate Canada would get its "future considerations" for the U.S.'s reneging on the soft lumber dispute mechanisms of NAFTA by enabling Canada to recoup its losses at Japan's expense via the TPP?

What the TREATY of VERSAILLES was to the 20th century PALES in COMPARISON to the TPP, CETA, C-CIT, NAFTA, et al, in the 21st.

When people in Indonesia can not order anything from another nation on the Internet without getting an import permit (which requires a PT or corporation), how is it possible for Indonesia to join the TTP? Why should a foreign business be interested in Internet sales in Indonesia? Indonesia is very far from being able to have free trade with any country.

It is better that the Indonesian Government has to change the Automotive policy in the Country to compete with World Market. The Automotive Sales are surging year by year in Indonesia after 2014.
This is mainly due to the Policy decisions. The Car and Bike prices in Indonesian is much higher than other ASEAN Countries despite the Country has a badge as 3rd Largest Population.

The Country has all kind of resources and Manufacturing capability to Produce any kind of Cars with World class standards. In Indonesia the Government has to change immediately the norms of Localisation contents which is at 60 % now to 95%. This will force all companies to go with Local Manufacturing of Automotive Parts and also will boost the Employment opportunities in the country.
Today in Indonesia though there are almost all the world Automotive companies are operating, only 2% of them are sourcing components locally, and even in that they import nearly 40% of the components from the parent countries.
Once the Government make rule as 95 % local contents as mandatory which will also reduce the selling price of the vehicles and leads more purchase power for the common peoples.

Also the Government has to remove the cap of Luxury Tax which is a high contributor for the overall price of the vehicles.
The Government can make the change as for 95% Local content vehicles the Luxury tax can be reduce to 15% and less than 95 % a slab rate of tax can be fixed.
It is high time that the Indonesian President and the Ministry has to look into this matter very seriously.
