Sabah CM: Dutch court’s dismissal of Sulu claim proves case has no locus standi

KOTA KINABALU, June 27 — Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the Hague Court of Appeal’s dismissal of a bid by the Sulu group against the Malaysian government is further proof that the group’s claim has no locus standi.

Hajiji hailed the decision and said it also reaffirmed the state government’s stand in not recognising the claim. “Sabah shares the federal government’s confidence, as stated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, that it was closer to completely nullifying the award after the decision,” he said in a statement here tonight.

Hajiji thanked the prime minister and the federal government for the decisive actions to stand firm to protect Malaysia’s sovereignty. “The state government will continue to work closely with the federal government until the so-called Sabah Claim is quashed,” said the chief minister. — Bernama
