KUALA LUMPUR: The Sulu case has raised critical concern about the importance of ethical conduct, integrity, professionalism and good practice by arbitrators, which is the cornerstone of the arbitral process, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said (pic).
The Minister in Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) said in the Sulu case, in which eight individuals claiming to be heirs of the deceased Sultan of Sulu staked a USD15bil claim against Malaysia, had no arbitration clause as there was no agreement between the Malaysian government and the eight claimants.
