(English version) Treaty between Indonesia Singapore relating to the Delimitation of the Territorial Seas of the two Countries in the Western Part of the Strait of Singapore on 10 March 2009
- Summary
This legal document contains the English version of the Treaty between the Republic of Indonesia and the Republic of Singapore relating to the delimitation of the territorial seas of the two countries in the western part of the Strait of Singapore signed on 10 March 2009. Specifically, the boundary of the territorial seas of both parties in the Strait of Singapore is extended westward from "point 1", which was the western terminus of the boundary agreed in the 1973 Treaty. The boundary agreed in this 2009 Treaty constitutes straight points connecting three points called 1A, 1B, and 1C, namely westward.
Notably, point 1A (1° 11' 17.4"N - 103° 39' 38.5"E) is measured to locate in between Indonesia's Pulau Nipah (1° 8' 49.9992"N - 103° 39' 24.9984"E) and Singapore's Sultan Shoal (1°14′24″N - 103°38′53″E). The use of Pulau Nipah shows that Indonesia's archipelagic baseline which was legally conceptualized along with the concept of ärchipelagic water" in Indonesia's Act No.6 in 1996 and in UNCLOS in 1985. Finally, point 1C, which is the western terminus of the boundary agreed in this 2009 Treaty is not the adjacent point between Indonesia's, Singapore's, and Malaysia's territorial sea boundary. The extension of the territorial sea boundary of both countries in the Strait of Singapore western to point 1C shall be negotiated by Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

The boundary is constituted by straight lines connecting 6 agreed points, whose coordinates are clarified in the document. Notably, "point 2" of the six points constituting the boundary of the territorial seas of the two countries is located in Indonesia's internal water, and on the line which would be called Indonesia's archipelagic baseline.
The boundary of the territorial seas of the two countries in the Strait of Singapore in this 1973 Treaty would be extended to the western segment of "point 1" in 2009 and to the eastern segment of "point 6" in 2014.

(English version) Memorandum of Understanding between Thailand and Malaysia on the Delimitation of the Continental Shelf Boundary between the Two Countries in the Gulf of Thailand on 24 October 1979
- Summary
This legal document contains the English version of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Kingdom of Thailand and Malaysia on the Delimitation of the Continental Shelf Boundary between the Two Countries in the Gulf of Thailand signed on 24 October 1979. In this MoU, the two parties establish a partial but official boundary of their continental shelves in the Gulf of Thailand.
Notably, the agreed continental shelf boundary between Thailand and Malaysia in the Gulf of Thailand does not extend to the joint developmental area established in another MoU of both parties signed in February 1979. Therefore, Article 3 clarifies that both parties "shall continue negotiations to complete the delimitation of the continental shelf boundary of the two Countries in the Gulf of Thailand." Thus, the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Authority over the said joint developmental area shall continue as provided in the February MoU.
