KOTA KINABALU – 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 is closer to completely nullifying the award after the decision,” he said in a statement here last night.
Hajiji thanked the prime minister and the federal government for their decisive actions in protecting 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, June 28, 2023
