Frankly I don’t know who to blame for the loss of sovereignty over Pulau Batu Putih (or is it “Pedra Branca” now?):

  • The good-for-nothing Encik Jellyfish currently sleeping in Putrajaya?
  • The legal team which represented Malaysia for the claim over Pulau Batu Putih?

Or the idiot who wrote the stupid letter below, dated 21st September 1953, disowning any claim over the island? Read the letter for yourself, I am too disgusted at the moment to say anything else about it.

We lost the Pulau Batu Putih judgement!

Its official…the judgement was ruled by the ICJ in favour of Singapore. I saw it live over TV1 just a few minutes ago and once that was made clear by the presiding judge, I just didn’t bother to watch any more. Great, now we have a foreign incursion in our waters.

That, plus the fact that we can’t call it “Pulau Batu Putih” anymore either.

Update: The Malaysian Insider confirms the ICJ verdict.
