Former Sabah CM says RM62.5bil award by Paris court will go nowhere

KOTA KINABALU: The RM62.5bil award to the heirs of the defunct Sulu Sultanate by a Paris Arbitration Court is not going to hold any water, says former chief minister Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee (pic).

"It is completely superfluous in law and will get nowhere," he said, adding that the arbitration ruling was a one-sided affair in a foreign country which had no basis and will have no legal effect.
