☆ Malaysia wins appeal against partial award in $15 bln claim by sultan's heirs
  + stars: | 2023-06-07 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The win for Malaysia implies the final award will be annulled and the descendants' efforts to seize Malaysian assets will end, the government said. The Filipino heirs of the last Sultan of Sulu won a $14.9-billion award in a French arbitration court last year in a long-running dispute over the deal, after a partial award was first issued in May 2020. The Paris Court of Appeal found the case arbitrator had wrongly upheld his jurisdiction, Malaysia said on Tuesday. The heirs say they were not involved in the incursion and sought arbitration over the suspension of payments. In recent months, Malaysia has stepped up efforts to protect itself from the arbitration award, including filing police complaints against one of the claimants' lawyers.

☆ Malaysia seeks to decriminalise suicide attempts
  + stars: | 2023-04-04 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
KUALA LUMPUR, April 4 (Reuters) - Malaysia is seeking to decriminalise suicide attempts, its law minister said on Tuesday, the latest in a recent slew of legal reforms pursued by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's government. "This is based on the fact that suicide attempts are within the scope of suicidal behavior and this act is the impact of mental incapacity or psychiatric disorder," Azalina said. In comments made last year, former health minister Khairy Jamaluddin said Malaysia had in 2021 recorded 1,142 suicide cases, compared to 631 cases in 2020. Azalina said the government hopes the reform will encourage those affected to seek help, remove the stigma of suicide, and lower the country's suicide death rate.
