Nothing final yet on Sulawesi Sea issue with Indonesia, PM tells Dewan Rakyat


KUALA LUMPUR: No conclusive agreement has been reached with Indonesia on the maritime border dispute involving two islands in the Sulawesi Sea, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister said that although the International Court of Justice (ICJ) had decided in 2002 that Ligitan and Sipadan belonged to Malaysia, there was still a dispute over the maritime borders at Blocks ND6 and ND7 of the Sulawesi Sea owing to conflicting intertidal claims.
