Get Manila to establish consulate in Sabah, Yong urges Putrajaya

KOTA KINABALU: Malaysia must follow up its legal victory against the so-called heirs of the defunct Sulu sultanate by getting the Philippine government to establish a consulate in Sabah.

"By setting up a consulate in Sabah, the Philippines would be telling its own people in the Philippines to forget about their fanciful claim to Sabah," said former chief minister Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee in a statement on Wednesday (June 28).
