KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia rejects the frivolous statement by the self-styled United Tausug Citizens (UTC) group which claims to be the "rightful custodians of the Sultanate of Sulu Territory” over Sabah, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said (pic).

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform)said UTC had requested the Malaysian government for immediate payment of US$15 billion in what they dubbed as "Cession Money” and sought recognition of UTC as "a sovereign and independent State Kingdom” as well as threatening to commence legal action against Malaysia in the United States.
