Delay Implementation of ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA):
Malaysia is part of the Association of South East Nations (ASEAN). 4th ASEAN Summit, AFTA was initiated with the objective of creating a free trade area in ASEAN by 2010. Malaysia promised to remove all protection relating to the national car industry by 2003. In 2003, Malaysia asked for an extension till 2005.
Malaysia has not removed current taxes and tariffs as of 2006. Retaliation by Thailand: Delay in removing tariffs and taxes on palm oil. Singapore and Thailand have both enacted bilateral Free Trade Agreements with the United States in retaliation.
