PM: The courts will be our front line in fight against Sulu heirs' claims

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia will defend its rights against claims by the self-proclaimed heirs of the Sulu sultanate in the courts, says the Prime Minister.

Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said it might not be feasible to mobilise security assets to protect the country's overseas interests but, since the matter had been brought to court, Malaysia would defend its position through the laws.
