Petronas to fight Sulu sultan heirs' claims on its assets

Petronas yesterday said it would contest any claims on its assets by the heirs of the former Sulu sultan, who are seeking US$15 billion (RM69.5 billion) in compensation.

The heirs of the last sultan of Sulu asked a Dutch court on Thursday for permission to seize assets in the Netherlands and on Friday, the Malaysian government said that it would take legal action against their latest legal move.
