PETALING JAYA: A court in France has granted Malaysia a stay order on the controversial U$14.92bil (RM63bil) award to the self-proclaimed heirs of the Sulu sultanate by a Paris Arbitration Court, says Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.
He said the Paris Court of Appeal on Tuesday allowed an application by the Malaysian government to suspend enforcing the final award dated Feb 28 following claims by parties who alleged that they were heirs and successors in interest to Sultan Jamalul Kiram II through an international arbitration proceeding in Madrid.
