I have the honour to raise the subjec~· of
maintenance· of Pulau Pisang Lighthouse and to say _
that as _it is-close to the coast or.t11e:Federationit
would seem·appropriate that it should be a
commitment of this Government, and to sugg_est that
responsibility for it should be assumed by us, in ·
the same way as we_ have assumed responsibility for
Pul·au Merambong.
2. . The matter will, of course, have to be· raised_
formally between the two Goverrunents, but I would
be glad to have your views_- beforehand. -If agreeabil:e,
and ·as it has been customary for Singapore to main.:..
tain the ligiit, an arrangement no· doubt could he made
by which your denartment would continue to service

DOCUMENT A/CONF.19/4
Synopucal table concerning the breadth and Juridical status of the territorial sea and adjacent ZODe!I
[Original text: English)
[8 February J960J
I. During tbe first United Nations Conference on the Law
of the Sea, the Secretariat prepared, at lbe request of the First
Committee and in consultation with the delegations, a synoptical
table concerning the breadth and juridical status of
tbe territorial sea and adjaccnt zones of the States represented
at the C.Onference.1
2. Duiing the thirteenth session .of the General Assembly,
in connexion with the discussion in the Si,i;th Committee
on item 59 of the agenda, lla.l!ICly, "Question of cotivening
a second United Nations conference o·n the Jaw of the sea",
1he Secretariat, at the request of several delegations, made
the synoptical table available to the Sixth Committee. Various
delegations, in the course of that session, made known to
the ~tariat thei: wish that the synoptical table should
· be brought up.to-0ate and then republished as a document
for the second United Nations Conference on thr- Law of
the Sea. Accordingly, by a note dat.ea 13 March l'."IS9, the
Secrctary-Oener:>I informed all States invited to pan:-:ipate
in the !CCOnd Conference unde{ paragraph 3 of Gc,)eral
Assembly resolution 1307 (XIII) that the Secretariat was p.-eparing
a revised edition of the synoptical table _for this purpose.
He further requested that the States should lransmit
to him, by I November 1959, any data which it was desired
should be included in order to amend or supplement lhe
lyllOptical table, together with the relevant texts of the Jaws
or.regulatiorui. The synoptical table was annexed to the note.
3. The presc:nt revised table, although based upon the original
aynoptical table prepared at the request or the Flnt Commi1tee
during the first United Natiorui Conference on the
Law of the Sea, incorporates all the changes that have been
requested by the State$ cooccrned.

4. Some observations in conne.rion with the table appear
necessary. Where a figure in miles or metres is given, followed
by a year in ~nlhcscs and then a page reference, the )'e&r
is that of the relevant law, regulation or dccn:c, and the
page reference is to the volume in tbe Unlttd Nation.s ugl.slaJiYe
SeriLs entitled Laws and RtgulatiottS on the RigifTII!! of
the Turiloria/ Sea.• Where the page reference. is pn,c:,eded
by the abbreviation Suppl., this refers to the Supplentt11t ~

Sta:r, volume n.~ and uws Ct:mcernint tk4 NatloM/Jty of

the figures are derived from infonnation which was submitted
by the States conoemed either at the first United Nations
Conference on the law of the Sea, or in the Sixth Committee
or the General Assembly at its thlnccnth session, or in
response 10 the Secretary-Geccral's note or 13 March 1959.
5. The texts of laws and regulations which "were nioeivcd
in reply to the said note are reproduced in a separate dOQI•
ment (A/CONF.19/5 and Add. l,3). When necessary, reference
is made to these texts in the footnotes appended to the synop.
tical table.
6. A blank entry opposite the name of a State in the revbcc! ·
synoptlcal table signmes that the relevant information was
not available to the Secretariat.

Of late there baa been quite a number of applications

In all fairness to those members of the staff and

particular ~igbthouse, the following restrictions will be imposed
with effect from this date.
(1) Priority should be given to those who have never
visited any of the lighthruse_s.
(2) Each application shall be restricted to not more
tban 6 persons ·including children on Sundays and Holidays.
(3) On no account must a member ofthe staff or hie
family or friends make use of the camp-beds in the 11Berkae11
..,
these are exclusively for the use of the crew and the lighthouse
personnel •
. (4) Each individual staff member is responsible for
the conduct of his family or friends, and any complaints from
the Master of· the "Berkas" or the lightkeeper will result in
the barring ·of his travel in this vessel in future.
It tnust be understood that those ¥!ho wish to travel

in 'J1!3' 0pinion, he cannot~ entirely absolved from bla:n&. The manner
or -navigation on board ibe ship was,· to. sq the least, alap~asb, and
. ~
had~ courses. been plotted~ the chart iri the ~:fd maimer,
there 1.s no doubt the apprentice 'o:X>uld have reaUsed the danger end
al.erted the Chief Officer. Ot.her re.ctors relating to the appl.ication
or coq,ass errors,- elthou,gb not contribu.til'lg to the casualty, were
contrary to good navigation. Ono vould al.so have e~ected the MD.stet"
to attend on the bridge when the vessel w.s about to alter course
cl.ose to the coast~ I £eel that no blame can be attached to the
apprentice as he is o. .fOUD3 mm1 with Olicy two yoars of' e:wperi.ence,

P.$. (Foreign Affairs) to A.O.
(Attn. Mr. Chao Hick Tin)
Pul au Pi a ang
Aocordin~ to a tele~hone message from our High
Commission in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, ouz, First Seore~ary was
called up by the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday
evening and hie attention was drawn to the fact that the
Singapore fla& has been seen flying over Fulau Fisang, off
Pontian, in recent months. The official concerned, Inche Hamzah
Majid, Assistant Secretary of the South-East Asia Division,
told Mr. l<ajapathy that under an indenture sianed in 1900
between the :British and the Sultan of Johore, the :British were
allowed to construct a lighthouse on the island. In 1951, it
is claimed, the British had reaffirmed that sovereignty of
this Island still remained with the Sultan of Johore. As such,
the Island is still a-part of Malaysia and it is improper for
the Singapore flag to be flown. Apparently there have been
some complaints about this in the Utusan Mela;yu. The official
concerned asked that the matter be communicated to the Government
of Singapore and that instructions be given for the flag to be
brought down as soon as possible.
2. I would appreciate if you would examine this question
and advise the Director of Marine accordingly, if you are
satisfied that there is no basis for us to fly our flag on the
Island. I am coi::ying this to Director of Marine in vie·w of
the urgency of the matter.

Horsburgh Rock ie oituated to the east of Singapore, ebout
64.2 kilometres (~.5 miles) from Fullerton Buil~ing, The distance
o.f' Horsburgh f'rom Johorc is 15 kilometres (9 miles) and 14.B kilo-
. metres (B.9 miles) from Pulsu Sintsn which 11 the nearest cf the
Inctonesian Islands to the south, A lighthouse operated by the PSA
is located on Horsburgh, which is a rock outcrop, the locati.ori of
which is shown in Att:u.ehment A.
The existing lighthouse facility c.!,n,pt:t.sos f-
(1) lha lighthouse tower.
(11) Living ciuarters and kitchen,
(iii) Generator roo6 end electrical supply ·together
with storage tanks for fuel end water.
(iv) A small Jetty in the $hallow foreshore area,
which can only ba used by emall boets.
ihis liflhthouse is exposed to two mcnsooiis :-
(a) The more aevsre being thG North--Eest Monsoon
where tno full effects of the open stretch af
the ·South Chin& Sea are experienced during the
months between November to March each year,
(b) Lesser effects from the South-Weet Monsoon,
occurring b1twean May to September annuolly ,

In January 19?8 1 Government di!"'ected the.t FISA exam:ina the
possibility of reclaiming the ar·eas art11Jnd Horsburgh Lighthouse,
In examining the pe>ssibility of recle~.etion, PSA carried out
e detailed hydrcgr~phic surv~1 of the foreshore areas, r"e survey
revealed that there is only limiti.d shailow foreshore area available
for reclamation, From this data 1 the reclamation profile hed been
v.orKed out as shov.n in Attachment B. It would be possible to reclaim
some 5110 !;IQ metres to 55?5 sq metres (55,000 - 60,000 sq ft)
of lend area around the lighthouse and in tha process incorporate a
cove which wovld be recoesed inside the reclamation profile, This
eove caf"\ provide the necessary sheltur for s:Mll craft during t'Ough
weather, Rac~ssing the cave within the ~eolarnation profile 'Mluld
enable the shc1 ·e protection works ( which serves to retain tho
reelame,tion material) to act es the bree~ter erm 1n·Bneuring ij
more tranq~il condition within the cove.
The depth of water available within tho cova, ~t low water,
will be ebout 2 ft thv$ enabling only smell craft to use the cove.
The ground conditions at the foreshore areas is knov.n to be
of herd material thvs meking the c:on.e,tructicn of jetties both costly
end difficult end such jettiet Will still be exposed to the affects
of both t' .a North-E'.ast and South4'lest IAonscon:s,
The area mround the existing jetty will be filled aver in the
process of the recl~matian wor+.e and this jetty will have to be
demolished. The propo~•d cove will toka_aver the functions of the
existing jetty in catering for smell craft,
In view of the very exposed location of Horsburgh which is
subject to the full effects of tt,a 111onoo0r1s {especially thG NortfiEest
Mons~ons) v.thich originate in the South China Sea to the
north-east, it would be necessary ta provide liubstantial shore
protection wcrks to withstand tha monsoon f1.1ry and to retain the
reclatMt:ion fill. Tha shape of the reclema.tion has been planned
taking- iiito eiccount the seabed levels and the entren;;.e or' tha cova
60 po.··: ionad es to be away from the direct exposure of the monsogns.

In the tander exercise for the reclemi,.tion and shore protection
wcr1~s 1 tendarers were requested to quote either on the basis of
large ect'lcrete bloeks, or large granite blocks (both to specified
minimum sizes) for constructing the surrounding shora protection
~ell. This arrangement would enable thQ exeminatian of the
alteniativa costs involved. The tenderers ware also permitted to
submit their OIM"I alternative designs should they consider that
thQir design can result in savings on the project cost.
Tenders were invit;d on :a?th,Je.nuary 1S78. Beorl.ng in mind
that the more severe North..£ast Monsoon o~urs annually from
November to March, it was lilnvisaged that tenderers can only expect
-, month~ of workinQ" time this year if work c:ommencad in April· lf}?S,
iendergrs were requested to baae their price on the guideline period
of? mQl'lths, ar such other period if this can result in a lower
projact cost,
Several provisional and prime eost itsms (provisional
allocation costs given in Appendix III} have been included in this
Centre.et namely (a) '#Ster deealinating fac1litYi (b) turfing;
{c) footpath, hoist etc: (d) Workmon 1 ~ Com~ensetion Insuranc:e;
(e) c.~ntina-ency eum.
A~garding item (e), the only source of water avaib.ble e.t present
iS from intermittent rainfall which is subject to the vagaries of
weather conditions,. Horsburgh is too far situated to be auppliod
economicslly by waterboats which, in eddition, v.ould be severely
hampered by rough sea conditions. Incarpore.ting a we.ter dHelin~ting
facility, envise.ged to utili2:c the reverse osmosis method, would

Itlilm 2(b} is a provis~ fer some greenery if the raclamation
is proceeded- with. The provision of e footpath, undeir Item 2{c),
is for acc.esa betwaan the oovs end the lighthouse. The
installation of e smell lloist wovld ~acilitate the h!lndling
of various itemi, from tha small boats within tha cove onto land

PS (Foreign Affairs)
Attn: Mr Lin Chung Ying
RE: MALAYSIA'S f\EW CDNTDJENTAL 9-1ELF
Further to the telex messages I have sent on the actions
of the Malaysian Government on the above subject I give below my
further views:-
2 The Malaysian Government is trodding with oars on this
.subject. I am sure it realises that once this subject is blown
up in the news media the government will be pushed by politic.al
considerations to take a tough ·stand, thereby straining relations
with Singapore.
3 Wisma Putra telephoned my PA four days before_ to fix an
appointment (11.45 am on Friday, 22 Decenber) for me to call on
Deputy Secretary General, I-amid Pawanchee. His PA indicated she
roped I would not change the time for the appoin'bnent. When my
PA asked what the subject would be the PA said she did not know,
but it was 'bilatere.11 -. It later turned out that the timing _was
to coincide with a press conference schedulect··to be held by
Minister of Land and Regional Development, Tan Sri Kadir Yusof;
In other words 1 while Pe.wanchee was infonning;:t"'erbally in his
of.fice Tan Sri Kadir would be telling the. pr-ess about the new
map being gazetted. This plan was, however 1 changed at ttie .
last moment. I will B?(Plain iater.
4 Before keeping my·appoihtment with Wisma. Putra ! attended
a ceremony at MAYC · headq.ia?'ters where Tunku Abdul 'Pat-man was laying
a foundation stone for El new· buildirJg. · There I met T~n srii Fatima.,
wife· of Tan Sri Kadir. - I a:·ske-d h~ ·why her husband was not with
her. She said he was extremely busy1 W~t'lg: five 'hats•
simultaneously. She added that he was fu hold a press conference
that morning and, therefore-, could not make it to the MAYC' ceremony.
I said it was in connection with the new map as reported in the.
NST that morning-. She replied afflnnatively-. -
5 After Hamid Pawanchee had verbally read the official
statement from a. prepared text I·asked him where I could get
copies of the map and· thei" gazette notification. He said they
would be available at the Map Siles Office. I then said
Tan Sri Kadir would obviously be· gi.ving copies of the gazette
to the press at -a news conference. Aawanchee replied: "No 1 that
has been -changed, There will be no press conference. 11 He did
not ask me how I got the information. I did not disclose my
source either.
11os1 I
j 1092 I
6 The method of informing us was definitely a strategy
that _was carefully laid out. Pawanchee read it out from a
tyμewritten text and after reading it put it aside. He did
not offer me a copy. · It. was clear the Malaysian Government
wanted the notice to be verbal.
7 Pawanchee bet-eved unnaturally at this meeting. At
other times he used to bera.ve in a personal and friendly manner.
This time he became silent after reading the statement. I asked
if that was all he wanted me to convey to my Govenn.ent. He
merely said;: "If there are any clarifications or points your
government likes .to have, they can be discussed in a friendly
manner."
• B I asked Pawanchae if the new continental shelf' was drawn
only on the provisions. of the'.Gen(:Na _Convention 1958 and the
Johore-Sihgapore Maritirne·Treaty-1927 or were·there·other
considerations~ He mumbled "Yes, on those two, but if there
are clarifications· we could meet an_d- di-scuss."
9 I- f:Dld Pawanchee Twould conv_ey ,the._message-·to my
government~
10 Pe.wanchee said that,,in drawing the new lines for the
continental shelf the Malaysians took the ''median", otherwise
the new lines could encompass the whole of &.nnatra and beyond.
Similarly other areas.
11 He repeated twice to me that triere. were no problems
with Thailand and· In~nesia. Malaysia had. disrussed with thesa
two neighbours and.entered into bilateral agreements with them~
Ha did not say anything about the Philippines. Ha then pointed
out that in c;rur case Horsburg·' ligh:thouse was affected. I looked
at the map _eind saw "Pulau -Ba"bJ Puteh"·. Later~ Fred Tan tells
me. Horeburg 1s· known as "Whi-t:e Roel<:" which in Bahasa. is "Pulau·.
Batu Puteh".,
12 As an aside, probably to soft_en the .. blow on us, Pawanchee
pointed out that Han9i and Jakarta ha.ve· a dispute on some islands
near the Na tunas.' He· was tf'yif')g_ to tell me. that this sort of
thing is tci.ibe expected among, rielghbours.
13 Overall, my reading is that Malaysia is taking the line
of gazetting' their claim of F\Jlau Ba.tu Puteh, then wait for Singapore
to dispute· it. The ball, tlierefore, is now in our court.
14 You do not have to wo?Ty about how we handle enquirers.
I have given written notice to all home-based officers that no
one is to answer any Q.JBstions from journalists and others. I
alone will do it. All enquiries must be directed ta me. I will
merely say I have sent. the map and the gazette to the Singapore
Government, which will study them. Nothing more.
