Former attorney-general Tommy Thomas has defended his position that the annual payment to the Sulu sultanate must be honoured.
"That hasn't changed because, in my opinion, Malaysia has always had a legal obligation since 1963, so we should have paid (the purported heirs of the Sulu sultanate)," he said while attending an event in Kuala Lumpur.
Thomas held this position in 2019 when he corresponded with lawyers for purported descendants of the Sulu sultanate who initiated and won an arbitration proceeding against Malaysia.
