Dr M claims being shut out of Batu Puteh RCI proceedings

PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad claims he was shut out of a supposed Royal Commission of Inquiry proceedings concerning the sovereignty of Batu Puteh , Batuan Tengah and Tubir Selatan .

Dr Mahathir also refuted accusations that he made the decision not to continue appealing the International Court of Justice decision on the matter without consulting others. Dr Mahathir also questioned how he could explain or defend himself if neither his lawyer nor himself were allowed to be present throughout the RCI proceedings.Aside from requesting for his or his lawyer’s right to attend the RCI proceedings, Dr Mahathir said his lawyer also requested an application to recuse RCI chairman Tun Md Raus Sharif and fellow commissioners Datuk Dr Baljit Singh Sidhu and Datuk Mohammed Ridha Abdul Kadir from the RCI, due to “conflicts”.

The court ruled that Pedra Branca belongs to Singapore while Batuan Tengah belongs to Malaysia, with the sovereignty of Tubir Selatan remaining unclear. This led to an outcry from several quarters, and in 2021, Sultan Ibrahim, as Johor Sultan, demanded a clear explanation of why the Federal Government had dropped the review application.
