Jamalul Kiram II
Jamalul Kiram II was the Sultan of Sulu, a historical sultanate in the Philippines, who reigned during the late 20th century. His legacy is currently at the center of a high-profile legal dispute regarding a historic lease agreement with colonial powers that has led to a multi-billion dollar arbitration case against the Malaysian government. The case, which involves claims for compensation exceeding 13 billion euros, stems from the alleged failure of Malaysia to honor the terms of a contract dating back to the 19th century. This dispute is being adjudicated in French courts and has significant implications for both the heirs of Kiram and Malaysia's financial obligations.
