Straits Settlement and Johore Territorial Waters Agreement of 1927
1927 treaty between the United Kingdom and Johor / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Straits Settlement and Johore Territorial Waters Agreement of 1927[1] was signed between the United Kingdom as the colonial ruler of the Straits Settlements of which Singapore was part, and the Sultanate of Johor which at that time was a nominally sovereign state, to determine the border between the island of Singapore and Johor along the Straits of Johor. Both Malaysia, of which Johor is a component state, and Singapore are successor states to the agreement. The treaty forms the basis of the current border agreement between Malaysia and Singapore which was signed in 1995.
