Anifah: Any claim on Sabah shows an ignorance of history

PETALING JAYA: Anyone that makes a claim on Sabah is exposing their ignorance of history and international laws, says Datuk Seri Anifah Aman (pic).

"The Government of Malaysia reiterates its position that Malaysia does not recognise and will not entertain any claims by any party on Sabah," said the Foreign Affairs Minister in a statement Wendnesday.

Anifah was responding to a claim on Sabah made by Aquilino Pimentel Jr, a member of the Philippines' Consultative Committee, which appeared in the media recently.

"Statements such as these will only expose the ignorance of history and international law of those who make them, as well as potentially harming the excellent bilateral relations which Malaysia and the Philippines currently enjoy," he said.
