THERE is supposedly an immense amount of wrangling behind the scenes at the US$14.92 billion (RM66.39 billion) claim and ongoing dispute between the eight heirs of the late Sultan of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram II and the Malaysian government. For starters, the eight heirs, who are supposedly “regular folk” without lavish lifestyles, have been able to take on the Malaysian government, hiring top-notch lawyers with several millions in funding from Therium Capital Management Ltd.
The ruling made by Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun to reject the motion to debate the Sulu Group’s claims over Sabah and the seizure of Petronas’ assets must be respected, says Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili
CLAIMS by the so-called heirs of the Sulu Sultanate will not be debated in Parliament because Malaysia has ongoing proceedings involving the matter and its litigation strategies could be compromised, says Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun.
