PETALING JAYA: The Madrid Court of Appeal, in Spain, has upheld the December 2023 ruling by the Madrid criminal court that found arbitrator Gonzalo Stampa guilty of contempt of court, over the Sulu sultanate controversy with Sabah.
Chief Minister Datuk Hajiji Noor said the so-called Sulu Sultanate heirs' claim has never and will never be recognised by the State Government as Sabah is a sovereign state within the Federation of Malaysia
