The Sabah Action Body Advocating Rights said the suit filed at the Kota Kinabalu High Court was to dispute the validity of the Territorial Sea Act 2012 , which limits the state’s maritime boundary to only three nautical miles.Sabar chairman Johan Arriffin Samad said under a colonial-era decree in 1954, Sabah’s waters extended up to its continental shelf. According to a decree by the UK, it also included its seabed and subsoil which lies underneath the high seas, he said.
