Two Malaysian ships remain in Singapore’s territorial waters, said Singapore Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan on Monday, reiterating that this is not conducive to next month’s discussions between the two countries, Channel News Asia reports. On a statement made last week by Malaysia Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, the vessels will stay put in the disputed waters along the Malaysia-Singapore maritime border until the negotiation process on the maritime border between the two countries is settled. Singapore has filed a declaration under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos) to ensure that Malaysia does not unilaterally commence third-party arbitration or adjudication against the republic over their ongoing maritime boundary dispute.
