Malaysia gets tough in Sulu issue

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

In a statement yesterday, the Special Secretariat on Sulu Claims said this included pursuing action against any Malaysian found to have provided material support, directly or indirectly, to the claimants or to any associated parties in the purported arbitration against Malaysia.
