PETALING JAYA: Law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said has again questioned the suitability of using a commercial arbitration platform to resolve the claim made by the self-proclaimed descendants of the Sulu Sultanate against Malaysia.

Azalina also voiced concern regarding the potential influence of third-party funders, but acknowledged the need for such financial support. The so-called Sulu heirs had obtained an arbitration award requiring Malaysia to pay nearly US$15 billion to the claimants, but the Paris Court of Appeal ruled in June that the arbitration court did not have jurisdiction in the case.Azalina had said this decision implied that the Paris appellate court would subsequently annul the award.

A legal firm in London, representing a group of nine people based in the Philippines, filed a series of suits against the government following a US$15 billion arbitration claim that it obtained through a Spanish arbitrator.
