KOTA KINABALU: The Federal Government must make a clear stand once and for all that Sabah is part of Malaysia and no one else should make any claim otherwise, says lawyer Datuk Fuad Ahmad.
Fuad, who is a member of the special secretariat handling claims by the self-proclaimed Sulu heirs, said personally, he felt that the question of Sabah's sovereignty must now be answered clearly by the Federal Government.
He felt that as long as the Philippines government continued politicising the Sabah sovereignty issue, then the claims on Sabah would repeat themselves over and over again. Touching on the international legal suits from the so-call Sulu claimants on Sabah, he said the case against Malaysia was due to and based on a single letter issued by the former attorney general dated June 16, 2019, which admitted that there was a valid agreement between the Sulu heirs and Malaysia regarding Sabah and that Malaysia was in the wrong.
Fuad said Malaysia was now resisting the Sulu claim based on the legality of the French arbitral award and the fact that the Spanish Court had ruled the appointment of the arbitrator was invalid, among others.
