KOTA KINABALU: The final landmark judgment by the Supreme Court of the  Netherlands in dismissing the appeal filed by the Sulu claimants is very good news for  Sabah and Malaysia, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor. 

“The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of Malaysia hence putting an end to the claim  which Sabah has never recognised in the first place,” he said. 

Hajiji reaffirmed that Sabah’s sovereignty in Malaysia should not be doubted and  challenged by anyone. 

The Chief Minister was responding to the statement by Minister in the Prime Minister’s  Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said that the  decision by the the Supreme Court of the Netherlands has closed the chapter on the  claimant’s attempts to enforce illegitimate claims on Malaysia.
