This Sulu claim on Sabah should have been buried long time ago! Sabah has been part of Malaysia for half a century! It's recognised by UN!
As for ancestral claim of Sabah, it's something of a fairy tale just like how the Brookes once owned Sarawak!
So yeah, the Brookes never claim Sarawak! And yeah, the offsprings of long demised Sultan Sulu concubines are going around telling the world Sabah belongs to them!
The thing is, only Phillipines can make such claim as the last recognised Sultan Sulu has given up this right to Phillipines! Meaning, the so called Sultan Sulus cannot even make legal proceedings!
But how come EU recognised such claim! Because EU are trailing on Malaysia! You know, the whites hate Malaysia so much! Tell me, what commodities not yet banned by EU! Same with US!
But back in Sabah, things are not going well! My undercover friend tells me that a strong movement are preparing for a bigger and wide spread invasion!
And this round, the Sulus are so convince Sabah belongs to them! They keep playing or broadcasting Anwar statement in the Phillipines! Thanks Anwar! You really help the Sulus this round!

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today explained that he supported the decision made by former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in 2013 to cease the annual cession payment to the heirs of the Sultan of Sulu following the incursion in Lahad Datu, Sabah.

Berita Harian reported that the former two-time prime minister, however, raised questions on whether the decision was made according to the provisions of law apart from fulfilling all the obligations to terminate the old agreement to avoid future dispute

(Malaysia Now) – Former attorney-general Tommy Thomas’ written response to lawyers appointed by a group claiming to be the heirs of the Sulu sultanate appears to be the backbone of an arbitration decision that now threatens the forfeiture of billions in Malaysian assets abroad.

A study of the 297-point arbitration decision shows at least a dozen mentions or citations from Thomas’ letter, as Spanish arbitrator Gonzalo Stampa sought to justify the unusual award to the claimants.

Answer : There! Still blaming Najib! Do you see any 'Najib' in Gonzalo Stampa defence!

The fact like what Tun M said:

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today explained that he supported the decision made by former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in 2013 to cease the annual cession payment to the heirs of the Sultan of Sulu following the incursion in Lahad Datu, Sabah.

Berita Harian reported that the former two-time prime minister, however, raised questions on whether the decision was made according to the provisions of law apart from fulfilling all the obligations to terminate the old agreement to avoid future dispute

But AG Thomas is so naive and incompetent to tell the world that Malaysia is in breach and offer to continues the annual ceassion payment in the hope that sultan Sulu heirs will discontinues the arbitration.

As AG I expect him to twist and turn and lie thro' his teeth to protect the interest of Malaysia.

A breach of contract is committed when a party, without lawful excuse, fails or refuses to perform what is due from it under the contract. It is the Arbitrator's view that Malaysia's admitted failure to attend these payments since 2013 may be characterised as a contractual non-performance under Article 7.1 of the UNIDROIT Principles, as it establishes that the breach of a contractual obligation exists where it concurs a «…failure by a party to perform any of its obligations under the contract…».

Be mindful of Hatyai Peace Accord, Karpal says on Chin Peng's ashes

PUTRAJAYA (Sept 17): The government should be cautious about the messsage it is sending out especially with the ratification of an international treaty should it choose not to allow Chin Peng's ashes to be brought back into the country. DAP national chairman Karpal Singh raised the Hatyai Peace Accord signed in 1990 between the governments of Malaysia, Thailand and the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) of which Chin Peng, or Ong Boon Hua, was secretary-general. Karpal said the agreement was to allow all MCP leaders to resettle in the country. So if the government does not allow Malaysia to be Chin Peng's final resting place, it would tantamount to not honouring the agreement. "This doesn't fit well for the country," he said. "The government should seriously consider allowing Chin Peng's ashes back here. That is the least the government can do. The government did not allow him a lifetime to come back here," he added. Noting the strong objection to his return following his demise on Monday, Karpal called for a different perspective on the top leader of the MCP, now that he was deceased.

Karpal also pointed out that although Chin Peng could not provide his birth certificates, the fact that he was born here could not be denied. On Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's statement that Chin Peng was not a citizen, Karpal said it could easily be proven that he had been born in Setiawan, Perak. "Many people don't have birth certificates, but that doesn't mean he was not citizen," Karpal said. Led by Chin Peng, the MCP fought the Japanese troops with the British during the Pacific War. Karpal pointed out that one must not forget MCP's battles against the Japanese, reminding people to view this issue objectively. Chin Peng died in Bangkok at age 90 after his legal attempts to resettle in Malaysia was rejected.

When you signed an international treaty (Hatyai Peace Accord) you need to honour it. Period.

By the way in Sulu arbitration case the French arbitration court interpreted the contract as perpetual lease of Sabah hence the big sum awarded in lieu of returing Sabah back to Sulu Sultan.

By according to english law the contract is cessation of Sabah hence even Malaysia in breach of contract the remedial action is to continue with the annual cessation payment.

Once it is cessation you cannot claim back Sabah.

Those MCP members who settled in South Thailand became farmers, livestock breeders, and traders. They were able to adapt to the new environment and assimilate into the local community.

Members of The Communist Party of Malaya (CPM-ML), a splinter group of the MCP, were resettled in a Friendship Village in South Thailand known as Chulaborn Village. CPM-ML members who wanted to return to Peninsular Malaysia were required to comply with several conditions set by the government of Malaysia before being able to settle in the state of their choice.

6. Over time, obviously the contracting parties changed. Upon the establishment of Malaysia on 16th September 1963, Malaysia became the successor-in-title to the British Company viz. the British North Borneo Company under the 1878 Grant and Confirmation by Sultan of Sulu of Cession of Certain Islands dated 22nd April 1903 (1903 Confirmation of Cession). From 1963 to 2012, that is, for an unbroken and continuous period of 49 years, Malaysia had been, under the 1878 Grant, paying your clients (themselves the successors-in-title to the Sultan of Sulu) the annual sum 5300 dollars. The payment was increased by 300 dollars per annum by way of the 1903 Confirmation of Cession.

7. From the beginning, Malaysia paid to your clients the agreed annual sum (Cession Monies) of 5300 dollars in Malaysian Ringgit, that is, 5300 MYR. The payment of Cession Monies had been made to the rightful heirs of the Sulu Sultanate, consistent with the judgment delivered Chief Justice C.F.C Macaskie in 18th December 1939 in the High Court of the State of North Borneo in the case Dayang – Dyang Haji Piandao Kiram of Jolo, Philippines & 8 others v. The Government of North Borneo & Others [Civil Suit No 169/39]. That judgment declared that the Plaintiffs are the rightful heirs with the right over the Cessions Monies. The grounds of judgment are attached hereto as Annexure A.173

8. Malaysia had continuously paid the Cession Monies to the heirs of the Sulu Sultanate through their appointed attorney Ulka T. Ulama until 2010. For the years 2011 and 2012, the Cession Monies were paid directly to the heirs of the Sulu Sultanate and not through their appointed attorney as the Ambassador of Malaysia to the Republic of the Philippines had received complaints from the heirs to the Sulu Sultanate on the delay of payments made previously and costs charged by the attorney for such services. Due to these complaints, the Ambassador of Malaysia to the Republic of Philippines decided to make payment directly to the heirs of the Sulu Sultanate. The payment of the Cession Monies were made in Philippine Peso based on the prevailing exchange rates. A copy of letter dated 28 June 2012 from the Ambassador of Malaysia to the heirs of the Sulu Sultanate concerning the aforesaid payment is attached as Annexure B.

The najib govt blow it mah!

Right now....the damages of USD 15b already establish....the question how could msia govt mitigate the situation leh ??

Msia only pays nominal Rm 6k per annum.....now the Court says msia need to pays usd 15b ...for termination of contract for none payment of rental loh!

Whether berunai govt, or philipine govt or sulus own sabah....it is immaterial....bcos the court conclude if msia willing to pay USD 15b....everything will be settled mah!

What agreements also useless. If a Strong Government don't want to pay, even if you sue them up to the UN, also useless. From 19th Century up to 1947, Chinese Emperors and Chinese Komintang Government made so many Bonds Agreements promising to pay all Bond Holders their hard earned money they lent to the Chinese Government during that time. until now, China only chosen to pay some of the 1913 Bond Debts to the British Bond Holders in 1997. The rest of the Bond Holders in millions never get a cent back until today. The Bonds are all printed in Bold Colours with the Chinese Government Imperial Hand Signatory Chops. I have a few of these Bonds Certificates. Until today, Chinese Government do not want to pay. What can you do? Referring to all these Sovereign Debts that USA has a lot. Search Google, you will find out.

The story begins nearly 100 years ago, in 1913, when the government of China began issuing bonds to foreign investors and governments for infrastructure work to modernize the country. As the country fell into civil war in 1927, paying these debts became increasingly difficult and the government fell into default. Even so, in April 1938, the Nationalist government of China began to issue U.S.-dollar denominated bonds to finance the war against Japan's brutal invasion.

Locked in a pitched battle for survival, the government issued these bonds into 1940. As part of its wartime financial aid, the U.S. government further provided a $500 million credit to China in March 1942, shipping gold there and helping to stabilize the currency. In return, it appears that the U.S. government redeemed some of these dollar-denominated bonds. But China doesn't appear to have repaid this debt either, according to State Department records, and the declaration of the People's Republic of China in 1949 ended decades of political, military and financial cooperation.

While successor governments are usually bound by the debts of predecessor governments, the new Communist government refused to pay any of these claims. The issue lay dormant for decades, just as the bilateral relationship did. Then, in 1979, as part of normalizing relations, Washington released government financial claims regarding the expropriation of American property and appears to have dropped the matter of the war debt entirely. However, it is one thing for government decision-makers to let go of government debt, however questionable that is.
