Sabah 'claim': Govt won't back down in defending sovereignty, says Wan Junaidi

PETALING JAYA: There is no question of Sabah ever being ceded to the Philippines as Putrajaya will always defend Malaysia's territorial sovereignty, says Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar (pic).

Politicians in the Philippines calling for the reclamation of Sabah were just making a political issue of the situation and their government was not involved, he added in a statement on Thursday (Oct 13).
