Pedra Branca a.k.a Pulau Batu Puteh

THE HAGUE: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague in the Netherlands has awarded sovereignty of Pedra Branca island to Singapore, while the sovereignty of Middle Rocks has been awarded to Malaysia.

The world court delivered the judgment on Friday, after several rounds of written and oral pleadings by disputing countries Singapore and Malaysia. The ICJ last heard arguments from both sides in November 2007.

For Pedra Branca, ICJ's 16-member bench voted 12-4 in favour of Singapore.
Ownership of Middle Rocks, a maritime feature 0.6 nautical miles from Pedra Branca, was voted 15-1 to Malaysia.

The verdict brings to a close a 28-year row between the two neighbours. The dispute arose in 1980 when Singapore protested against a new Malaysian map of its maritime boundaries, which claimed the islet for itself.

Years of bilateral talks failed to resolve the matter and the parties agreed to seek the intervention of the UN court.

Pedra Branca, which Malaysia calls Pulau Batu Puteh, is located some 24 nautical miles to the east of Singapore and it commands the entire eastern approach to the Singapore Strait, through which almost 900 ships pass daily.

Pedra Branca also houses the Horsburgh Lighthouse, the oldest feature on the island which was built by the British between 1847 and 1851.

Leaders from both Singapore and Malaysia had said they would accept the ICJ's decision and stressed that whichever way it went, it would not affect bilateral ties.

Kisah "Maid" baru aku....

Dulu lagi masa awal tahun 2000++ aku dah bercadang nak amek maid indon sebab nak jaga anak ngan mak aku....tapi mungkin sebab takder rezeki sebab berlaku kesilapan teknikal. Maid aku dikatakan tak cukup umur sebab tak cecah umur 25 tahun. So, computer reject permohonan aku, kata pegawai imegresen tu. (tapi aku pelik, sebab kat Malaysia ni ramai maid yang umur bawah 25 tahun walaupun dikatakan syarat mesti melebihi 25 tahun)

Walau bagaimanapun, akhirnya aku kini telah berjaya mendapatkan maid baru....Tapi tak tahu la sama ada bini aku bagi ke tidak. Maid aku ni masih dari Indonesia. Selain dari rajin dan tak malu nak dibawa berjalan, dia ni pandai gak menyanyi. Korang boleh nilaikan maid baru aku kat bawah ni...

Ermm... camana? sesuai ker? Pada bini ku, aku berjanji tak akan nakal-nakal ngan maid baru ni.....hehehe.
