Singapore extends port limits off Tuas, says will guard sovereignty
Singapore
SINGAPORE has extended its port limits off Tuas in response to Malaysia's latest intrusion in its waters, warning it would not hesitate to take firm action to protect its territory and sovereignty if necessary.
"This extension is well within Singapore Territorial Waters and tracks the eastern boundary of the 1999 Johor Bahru Port Limits," Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said in a prepared statement at a press conference on Thursday.
