As logged at issue

Malaysia and Brunei are likely to miss their own 2027 target for finalizing the land-boundary demarcation, extending a dispute whose resolution date has already slipped once from an earlier 2034 goal down to 2027 and now looks set to slip again with roughly half the technical issues still open.
