Dutch court decision proves Sulu heirs have no legal standing, says Hajiji


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the Dutch court of appeal's dismissal of a bid by the so-called Sulu heirs to enforce a US$14.94bil (RM68.8bil) arbitration award against the Malaysian government is further proof that the group has no legal standing.

Hajiji hailed the decision and said it reaffirmed the state government's stand not to recognise the claim.
