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?

its a typical attitude.

they do nothing in the beginning.
let others do all the work.
then suddenly they will come and say, they are the tuan and everyone owes them...
