Paris claimants not legitimate heirs to Sulu lineage, claims self-proclaimed descendant

KOTA KINABALU: A self-proclaimed descendant of the defunct Sulu sultanate has accused the claimants in a Paris arbitration court case of not being the legitimate and rightful heirs to the Sulu lineage.

Datu Mohammad Kudhar Sultan Kiram, who is based in Manila, claimed that the claimants, who were awarded US$14.92bil (RM62bil) by a Paris arbitration court, were just people out to make money.
