ICJ recognises Pedra Branca as Singapore territory
Well, there you have it. The ICJ has declared that the jurisdiction of Pedra
Branca falls to Singapore by a 12-4 majority.

The other territory - Middle Rock and Southern Ledge - fall to Malaysia by a
15-1 majority.

A glum-looking RTM presentator says Malaysia has ?kehilangan kedaulatan over
Pulau Batu Puteh? - and then goes on to commend the Malaysian legal team for its
efforts.

Making the best of the situation, Rais Yatim says it is a ?win-win outcome?. He
adds that the fate of Southern Ledge is still to be determined based on various
technical aspects.

Perhaps now we can focus on eradicating injustices and poverty within Malaysia?
