KUALA LUMPUR: The lawyer appointed by Malaysia to handle the Sulu claimants’ dispute is confident that the country has a strong chance of prevailing based on facts and evidence that clearly sides Malaysia, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said said.

The Minister in Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) added that she was currently conducting a visit together with a representative from the Attorney General’s Chambers, Solicitor-General II Datuk Almalena Sharmila, and Malaysia’s ambassador to Spain Datuk Akmal Che Mustafa to Madrid, Spain, where the eight individuals involved in the Sulu claims dispute began arbitration proceedings.
