Govt to refer to AG on whether Sulu sultanate’s claim can be debated in Parliament


KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney General will be consulted on whether the issue of the RM63bil arbitration award to the descendants of the Sulu sultanate can be debated in Parliament, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah.

The Foreign Minister said bringing up the issue in the Dewan Rakyat might contradict the sub judice rule, as the matter was still in court and that the matter might have to be discussed behind closed doors with MPs.
