The Sabah Action Body Advocating Rights says the law limits the state’s control of its waters to just three nautical miles from the coast.
Sabar said it decided to file the suit in the Kota Kinabalu High Court to end the dispute on the Territorial Sea Act 2012 as it supports the Sabah government’s stance on the matter.
Sabar chairman Johan Arriffin Samad said under a colonial-era decree in 1954, Sabah’s waters extended up to its continental shelf. “Sabar supports the Sabah government and has decided that it is prudent to take the legal route to end the dispute,” Johan said in a statement.
