PARLIAMENT | Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has clarified that the 5,207ha of land claimed by Indonesia recently was not previously part of any nation.
Addressing the Dewan Rakyat today, Anwar explained that the area could not be regarded as belonging to any country as ownership of the land was subject to negotiations and a “boundary that has yet to be finalised.”
“The determination of boundaries is not based on principles of compensation, reciprocity, or profit and loss, as alleged.
“Instead, the determination of the boundary between Malaysia and Indonesia is based on conventions and agreements,” Anwar said in a ministerial briefing session on the matter. - Mkini
