S'pore will wait to see what new evidence M'sia can produce over Pedra Branca

SINGAPORE : Singapore Law Minister K Shanmugam said Singapore will wait and see if the Malaysian government can come up with any new evidence to renew Malaysia's claim on Pedra Branca.

The International Court of Justice awarded Singapore sovereignty over the island on May 23, ending a nearly three-decade long territorial dispute between the two countries. Decisions by the Court are final and cannot be appealed.

Malaysian Foreign Minister Rais Yatim has been quoted in newspaper reports saying that Malaysia has renewed its search for evidence to stake its claim on Pedra Branca, or what Malaysians call Pulau Batu Puteh.

"I'm not quite sure what the legal basis of such suggestions are. My own view is that the international court has ruled, and both countries have said that they accept the ruling... As to what this new evidence is, we'll wait and see," said the Singapore law minister. - CNA /ls

I though both sides mentioned they will accept the international court's ruling? What's with this thing?
