Not just Indonesia is claiming Sipadan is their territory, Philippines has done the same thing, unfortunately in 2002 the International Court of Justice awarded Sipadan island along with Ligitan island to Malaysia judging on the basis of the “effective occupation” displayed by the latter’s predecessor.

I won’t vote for it. we only have one sipadan, the famous it is, the faster it will be destroyed. I am selfish I know, but this is the good way to extend the sipadan’s marine life.
Hopefully can maintain until one day human has the abilities to rebuild the coral.
Please DON’T VOTE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Rex.. maybe you don’t get it right!
We are VOTING not to get Sipadan famous, but to PRESERVED itself from continuously damaging its surroundings + corals by commercials scuba + resorts activities. Currently, there is no more scuba diving activities in Sipadan is allowed.
