Malaysia hopes that the outcome of Pedra Branca case will not affect its bilateral relations with Singapore.

Malaysia’s Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said Malaysia will leave it to the International Court of Justice to determine which country has the sovereign right to the island.

"We (Malaysia) have assembled a very good team of lawyers in order to present our case and I hope that we will give our best presentation to counter arguments tabled by the Singapore team," he told reporters at the sidelines of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) assembly. - CNA/ac
