WISMA Putra summoned the Chinese ambassador on two occasions last year over the controversy involving the encroachment of Malaysian airspace and waters by Chinese aircraft and vessels, the House was told.

Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Kamarudin Jaffar said the first was on June 3 last year after 16 planes encroached into Malaysian airspace.
