KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has sent a protest note to the Philippines concerning two new maritime laws that infringe upon Sabah's maritime boundaries, says Datuk Mohamad Alamin.
The Deputy Foreign Minister explained that the Philippine Maritime Zones Act and the Philippine Archipelagic Sea Lanes Act, signed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr on Nov 8, have been confirmed to overstep Malaysia's 1979 New Map, which is grounded in international law.
