KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is in the process of obtaining an annulment of the purported final award of US$14.9bil (RM62.59bil) issued by a Spanish arbitrator, Dr Gonzalo Stampa, in the case brought by the purported heirs of the Sulu sultanate, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) said with this annulment, the government’s long standing battle against the Sulu claims will come to an end as the basis of the claims would cease to exist.
