PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has ap­­plied to revise the international court’s ruling that gave Pulau Batu Puteh to Singapore following the discovery of “some important facts,” the Attorney-General an­­nounced yesterday. The application was filed at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague on Thursday. The island, described by the ICJ in its 2008 ruling as “a small but strategically located island in the Straits of Singapore” was given to the is­­land republic then. Middle Rocks was given to Malaysia and South Ledge was not awarded to either country. The team includes Attorney-Ge­­ne­ral Lucien Wong, Professor S. Ja­­ya­­­kumar, Professor Tommy Koh and former Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong.
