SINGAPORE: Singapore is studying closely Malaysia's application to revise the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) judgment on sovereignty over Pulau Batu Puteh, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said in a statement on Friday. "Malaysia has informed us that it has made an application for revision of the ICJ's judgment," said MFA, adding that Singapore is studying Malaysia's application and documentation closely. The Republic "has formed its legal team to respond to Malaysia's application", it said. Malaysia said on Friday it had filed an application at the ICJ to review a judgment made in May 2008 that awarded Pulau Batu Puteh (Pedra Branca) to Singapore after making "discovery of some fact of such a nature as to be a decisive factor". - The Straits Times/Asia News NetworkRelated story:Malaysia files application for revision of ICJ's Pulau Batu Puteh decision
