Singapore agrees to suspend reclamation, development plans in Batu Puteh, says Deputy Foreign Minister


KUALA LUMPUR: Singapore has agreed to temporarily stop all ongoing reclamation and development plans in Batu Puteh, says Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Mohamad Alamin.

According to Mohamad, the decision by Singapore came following Malaysia’s verbal and written objections that Singapore has no right to continue planning development and reclamation works until the two countries finalise the maritime borders in those waters.
