Dun worry lah, I think this unilateral change of name means
nothing, it is simply sheer stupidity!! LOL
During ICJ ruling, the judges have already given the legal
definition for each landmarks:
16. Pedra Branca/Pulau Batu Puteh is a granite
island, measuring 137 m long, with an average width of 60
m and covering an area of about 8,560 sq m at low tide. It is
situated at the eastern entrance of the Straits of Singapore, at
the point where the Straits open up into the South China Sea. Pedra
Branca/Pulau Batu Puteh is located at 1° 19' 48" N and 104° 24' 27"
E.
As for desciption in ICJ ruling for Middle rocks is "two
clusters of small rocks" and South Ledge "is a rock formation only
visible at low-tide."
Even when dealing with the 1953 letters, the then Colonial
Secretary of Singapore described it as "the rocks" , but in the
court view , when giving judgment, it put inverted comma over "the
rocks', as if the description is inconsistent with the current
rules and regulation.
204. The Singapore letter of 12 June 1953 seeks information
about “the rock” as a whole and not simply about
the lighthouse......
So the ICJ court has already defined each of them according to
int'l laws, so they cannot suka suka change that fact, so do we
need to worry!?!LOL
Afterall, just like the ICJ case over Pedra Branca, MY thru 1953
letters and 11 official maps prior to 1979 had already admitted
that Padra Branca belongs to SG.
Likewise for the name change,MY prior to the ICJ
judgment, MY had thru various official statements to the
Press and during the proceedings in ICJ etc, I think at least a
hundred times had referred (i.e. admitted) Pedra Branca as an
Island!!!
Afterall, I believe there are internationally recognised legal
definition of Islands and Rocks just in case for such dispute,
especially if there is a difference between an Islands and Rocks
regarding territorial seas, then there should be legal definition
for Islands and Rocks.
So there is no fxxking chance that this unilateral change of
description will have any implication over the negotiation of
territorial seas!!!
Those loser is only good at twisting facts, insinuating and
produce bogus evidence from a blog, other then that totally no
substance!!! Lol
