Singapore has failed to adduce evidence to support its claim that Britain had established title on Pulau Batu Puteh in the years 1847-1851, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) here heard.
Malaysia’s counsel Sir Elihu Lauterpacht said that although Singapore had repeatedly stated that its conduct after 1851 merely confirmed and maintained a title already acquired, there was no contemporary documentation of any kind which implicitly or explicitly specified that the island was or had become British territory.
