Kota Kinabalu: The final landmark judgment by the Supreme Court of the Netherlands in dismissing an appeal filed by Sulu claimants over Sabah is good news for the region and Malaysia, according to Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji 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 in a statement, reaffirming that Sabah’s sovereignty in Malaysia should not be doubted and challenged by anyone.

The Chief Minister was responding to a statement by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said that the decision by the Dutch court has closed the chapter on the claimants' attempts to enforce illegitimate claims on Malaysia.
