PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian government does not recognise the claim made by the Sulu Sultan's heirs purportedly stated in an 1878 Agreement, says the Foreign Ministry and Attorney General's Chambers (AGC).
The government was ruled to violate the treaty after deciding to stop the Sulu sultan heirs’ annual RM5,300 cession money payment in 2013 following the Lahad Datu incursion.
KOTA KINABALU: A French arbitration court has “instructed” the Malaysian government to pay US$14.92bil (RM62.6bil) to the descendants of the last Sulu sultan.
