Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia rejects the “frivolous” claims by the self-styled group, United Tausug Citizens , that they are the “rightful custodians of the Sultanate of Sulu Territory” over Sabah, says law and institutional reform minister Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
Azalina highlighted how Malaysia had successfully defeated similar attempts by the self-proclaimed heirs of Sultan Jamalul Kiram II based on a fraudulent arbitration award issued by rogue arbitrator Gonzalo Stampa in Spain. She also said the recent conviction of Stampa by a Madrid criminal court – and his six-month jail term and one-year disqualification from practising as an arbitrator – confirmed the criminal abuse of the arbitration processes and gross injustices suffered by Malaysia as a result of the so-called Sulu case.
