KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will continue to take all active measures to further strengthen its sovereign immunity and to engage all stakeholders in its pursuit of upholding the sanctity of arbitration internationally over the claim by the so-called heirs to the deceased Sultan of Sulu.

The Special Secretariat on Sulu Claims, in a statement on Monday (June 5), said this included pursuing action against any Malaysians found to have provided material support, directly or indirectly, to the claimants or to any associated parties in the purported arbitration against Malaysia.
