M’sia urged to stay wary despite Spanish court ruling

KOTA KINABALU: Malaysia should remain on guard against attempts to enforce the tainted US$14.9bil Paris Arbitration Court award despite a Spanish court decision to convict arbitrator Gonzalo Stampa earlier this week, says Sabah lawyer Datuk Roger Chin.

He said the possibility of the enforceability of the award had remained until the French Court made a final decision to set aside Stampa’s final order for Malaysia to pay the self-proclaimed heirs of the defunct Sulu sultanate.
