...exploration activities in the
disputed area have been halted after the Malaysian navy earlier
this year chased off a drilling team belonging to a consortium led
by Frances Total.....

This little report
also exposes KL's intend on any neighbours which it perceives to be
weak and hence victimised for its own regional intend. This is
exactly how the Malaysian gov had hinted to Brunei when its FM Syed
Hamid was quoted "think we have moved nearer to a final solution,Ehe said,
adding it was possible to resolve the issue before Mahathir steps down in
October.
Funny how he could figure out the schedule of the "final solution"
based on KL's likes ?.
further extracts:
"Brunei, a tiny nation of 330,000 people surrounded
on all sides by Malaysia, lacks the muscle to back up its claim,
however, and may lose more by digging in against its
neighbor.

Another Malaysian style:
"Win-Win" Solution; I Win - I Win....
