KUALA LUMPUR: \u00a0A\u00a0court in Luxembourg has set aside an\u00a0attachment order applied by an individual who claimed to be an ‘heir’ of the Sulu group last Tuesday (Jan 24), said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
\nShe said the\u00a0July 11, 2022 attachment order that was set aside was requested based on two purported arbitral awards issued by an illegally appointed arbitrator, Dr Stampa who is said to have awarded the claimant an amount of USD 14.92 billion (RM63 .34 billion).
\n“Malaysia has consistently objected to the alleged arbitration proceedings planned by the claimant.
\n“Malaysia has taken all available legal actions to revoke the appointment of Dr Stampa and the said award,” she said in a statement.
\nAzalina said as a result of Malaysia’s actions, the Spanish Court that appointed Dr Stampa retrospectively canceled his appointment and the ‘preliminary award’ that he had issued in Madrid.
\nThe French Court has suspended the enforcement of the ‘final award’ said to have been issued by Dr Stampa in France pending the Court’s decision on Malaysia’s application to set aside the ‘final award’.
\nMalaysia had\u00a0immediately applied to the Luxembourg Court to obtain interim relief to set aside the attachment order.
\n\u201cThe hearing for the application took place on Dec 5, 2022 before the\u00a0Luxembourg Court judge who later set aside the attachment\u00a0order,” she said.
\nAzalina said the decision of the Luxembourg Court justifies\u00a0the\u00a0government’s policy to defend Malaysia in any\u00a0forum to ensure that the country’s interests,\u00a0sovereignty immunity and sovereignty\u00a0are protected and preserved at all times.
\nShe said in this regard,\u00a0the government would\u00a0continue to strive to stop\u00a0all claims against Malaysia.
