KUALA LUMPUR: The courts of Spain, France and Luxembourg should have not entertained claims made by the so-called Sulu sultanate heirs because there is no arbitration clause in the 1878 agreement which Malaysia took over in 1963, says former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas.
He also said it was disappointing that the courts appeared to have not read the 1878 agreement signed by then Sulu Sultan Jamal Al Alam.
