Malaysia launches royal commission of inquiry to investigate disputed islets in the Singapore Strait, including the handling of Pedra Branca. The dispute dates back to 1979, with Singapore gaining sovereignty in 2008. The government is reviewing the handling of the case, and the chief secretary to the government will bring recommendations for the inquiry panel to the country's king for approval. Singapore is prepared to defend its sovereignty over Pedra Branca and will abide by the Court's decision.
