Kuala Lumpur
MALAYSIA has filed an application at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to review a judgment made in May 2008 that awarded Pedra Branca to Singapore after making "discovery of some fact of such a nature as to be a decisive factor".
Malaysia filed the application to the ICJ on Thursday over the sovereignty of the island, said a statement issued by Malaysia's Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi Ali. "The application was made by Malaysia upon the discovery of some fact of such a nature as to be a decisive factor, which fact was, when the judgment was given, unknown to the Court and also to Malaysia as the party claiming revision," the statement said.
