Pedra Branca Belongs to Singapore, It’s Official!

May 23, 2008 Singapore


International Court of Justice, or ICJ has announced that Pedra Branca/Pulau Batu Puteh, belongs to Singapore while Middle Rocks and South Ledge belong to Malaysia. The announcement was made in a public sitting at the Peace Palace of The Hague.

Both Singapore and Malaysia have said they will respect the decision by ICJ. The rulling is final and cannot be appealed.

The public sitting was broadcasted live in Singapore through Channel News Asia Live.

It lasted 2 hours, darn long!
