A Philippine senator has told his country’s Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to “seize the opportunity” to stake the Philippines’ claim to Sabah following the US$14.9 billion (RM69.2 billion) arbitration award granted to the heirs of the Sulu Sultanate against the Malaysian government
Former Attorney General (AG) Tan Sri Tommy Thomas said the courts of Spain, France and Luxembourg should have not entertained claims made by the so-called Sulu sultanate heirs because there is no arbitration clause in the 1878 agreement which Malaysia took over in 1963
KUALA LUMPUR: Claims by the so-called Sulu heirs should not have been entertained by the courts of other countries because there is no clause in the 1878 agreement that provides for any dispute over Sabah to be resolved with arbitration, says former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas.
