UPDATE May 24 Bernama 00:04
Rais says this after earlier feeling confident of winning on May 15 and changed to feeling a little nervy about the ultimate decision on May 23.
UPDATE The Star 6:14pm
Our initial fears became a reality! Singapore Gets Pulau Batu Puteh i.e. Singapore gets the island and Malaysia gets the Middle Rocks (which is only two clusters of rocks) which Rais Yatim describes as a win-win situation.
You can view what Malaysia won from here and start imagine the winning feel!
Why had Malaysia lost the case? Because we allow Singapore to operate the Horsburg Lighthouse on the island for 130 years without any protest from Malaysia! Read it here.
Just remember, that the Malaysian representatives had done their "best" as well as submitted all evidence they had but still not successful.
- my earlier posting this morning -
Be Calm And Mature In Accepting ICJ Decision, Says Rais. This is a different tone from his earlier statement on May 15, 2008 that Verdict Of Pulau Batu Puteh will be in our favor found here.
There were calls for calm and maturity in accepting the decision by ICJ from our leaders for the past few days which gave an impression that the Malaysian Government already knew the decision by ICJ.
Perhaps the daily calls in media were to soften the impact on the Government leadership capabilities (already low) but let's wait later today for the decision.
