Putrajaya dismisses Sulu heirs’ latest demand for US$16bil FMTNews

The Attorney General’s Chambers said a letter it received on May 29 from a lawyer representing the so-called Sulu heirs contained false allegations and demands.

“The government of Malaysia denies in full and without limitation the allegation and insinuations in the letter,” the AGC said in a statement. “Considering that the legal proceedings are still ongoing, it is totally outrageous for the claimants to demand the payment,” it added. Annual payments of RM5,300 to the descendants of the Sulu sultan were discontinued by Malaysia after an armed group landed in Lahad Datu in 2013 to pursue a claim of sovereignty over Sabah.

Arbitrator Gonzalo Stampa ruled that Malaysia had violated the 1878 agreements between the old Sulu kingdom in the Philippines and a representative of the British North Borneo Company that used to administer what is now Sabah.
