KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23 — Singapore has agreed to temporarily halt all development and reclamation plans near Batu Puteh, said Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abd Kadir today.
This was because of the Malaysian government’s consistent objections both verbal and written towards such activities, he said during his winding-up speech at Parliament this afternoon. “Singapore has agreed to temporarily stop plans of development and reclamation activities at Batu Puteh,” he said. Besides that, he said that the maritime feature has been identified as rocks and did not fit the definition of an island according to the terms of Article 1 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea adopted in 1982.
