KUALA LUMPUR: The Territorial Seas Act 2012 is still valid and in force nationwide, including in Terengganu, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) is quoted as saying in reports.

In a statement, PMO said the Territorial Seas Act was passed in Parliament, in line with the Federal Constitution.

"Even though the Terengganu state assembly passed a resolution to reject the Act, it is still valid and in force throughout Malaysia, including in Terengganu, unless declared otherwise by the courts," it said.

On Thursday (April 25), the Terengganu state assembly had unanimously passed a motion to reject the Territorial Sea Act 2012 (Act 750), citing its infringement on the state’s rights to explore resources and generate revenue within its maritime borders
