JOHOR BARU, MALAYSIA: There is no danger of losing Pulau Pisang
to Singapore as Malaysia clearly has sovereignty over the
island.
Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman said that this was
despite Singapore operating a lighthouse on the 154ha island.
He said the ownership of the island was based on a treaty
between Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Abu Bakar and the British in 1900,
which clearly stated that Malaysia had sovereignty over the
island.
"Our land office records show that Pulau Pisang belongs to
Johor," he said.
Abdul Ghani said the lighthouse, which guided ships into the
Singapore Straits, was manned by four Singaporean guards.
He added that Malaysians were allowed to enter the island but
were prohibited from entering the lighthouse.
