Sulu heirs can’t rely on sham award, says Azalina over landmark victory

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has secured a landmark victory in the Paris Court of Appeal against the self-claimed heirs of the defunct Sulu Sultanate, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

The Appeals Court had annulled the Paris Arbitration Court's purported award of US$14.94bil (RM68.83bil) to the party claiming to be the heirs of Sultan Jamalul Kiram II (the claimants of the Sulu group).
