Kota Kinabalu: The recent successful settlement by the Sarawak government regarding its continental shelf and the associated oil and gas resources is commendable, however, it is essential to note that such matters should not have been a question at all, said StarSabah President Datuk Seri Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan.
The continental shelf, along with the oil and gas resources, are Sabah’s non-negotiable rights, firmly established by the 1954 North Borneo (Alteration of Boundaries) Order in Council, he said in a statement.
