Cops urged to probe Tommy's letter to lawyers of Sulu heirs


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah MCA has lodged a report against former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas over a 2019 letter he sent to lawyers representing heirs of the defunct Sulu Sultanate seeking their annual "cession" payments.

After lodging the report with city police on Wednesday (July 20), Sabah MCA said the letter from a Malaysian AG to the Sulu heirs' lawyers had put Malaysia's sovereignty at risk and now has triggered the Paris Arbitration Court ruling for Malaysia to pay US$14.92bil (RM66.4bil) to the self-claimed descendants.
