KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob promised legal measures on Tuesday to protect the country's assets worldwide, local media reported, as heirs to a 19th century sultan sought to enforce a $15 billion arbitration award via asset seizures.
The heirs are targeting Malaysian property overseas following the government's refusal to recognise an arbitration award by a French court in February, which found it had reneged on a 1878 land leasing agreement between a British company and the last sultan of Sulu.
