SEPTEMBER 3 — In the Pulau Batu Puteh case, both Malaysia and Singapore referred the International Court of Justice to nearly 100 maps. Both, however, agreed that none of the maps established title in the way, for instance, that a map attached to a boundary delimitation agreement might.
Malaysia also referred to three maps published in 1926 and 1932 by the Surveyor-General of the Federation of Malay States and Straits Settlements which might indicate that the island was within Johor. This was compared to a map in the same series of maps where the site of another lighthouse administered by Singapore.
On the second point, the Court saw strength in Singapore’s more limited argument that the maps gave a good indication of Malaysia’s official position rather than being creative of title. Although Singapore did not, until 1995, publish any map including Pulau Batu Puteh within its territory, that failure to act was in the view of the Court of much less weight than the weight to be accorded to the maps published by Malaya and Malaysia between 1962 and 1975.
