Malaysiana - Pulau Batu Putih Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Pulau Batu Putih
I feel a part of myself
gone too

Pulau Batu Putih
the white stone we fail
to sign our name on

Pulau Batu Putih
the white song we forgot
to sign our name on

THE HAGUE: The International Court of Justice ruled Friday in favour of Singapore in a 28-year sovereignty dispute with Malaysia over the tiny, uninhabited island of Pulau Batu Puteh.

'The court, by 12 votes to four, finds that sovereignty... belongs to the Republic of Singapore, ' Judge Awn Shawkat Al-Khasawneh said, reading out the ruling. - AFP
