Manila, April 28 (RHC)-- Protesters confronted U.S. President Barack Obama at a public event in Malaysia over the weekend, as he continues an Asia-Pacific tour.

On Sunday, Obama faced protests at a public event in Malaysia over the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The secretive pact would establish a free-trade zone among Pacific Rim countries, encompassing nearly 40 percent of the global economy.

As Obama spoke at a town hall event, a group of demonstrators stood up in the audience and held placards in silent protest.
