Najib expresses disappointment in Dr M for agreeing to withdraw Pulau Batu Puteh review application

KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has expressed his disappointment with Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for agreeing to withdraw the review application for the Pulau Batu Puteh case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

"Supposedly, we have to fully accept the ICJ's decision. However, there is a clause in the ICJ statute that says an appeal can be made if there is new evidence," he said while debating Budget 2022 in the Dewan Rakyat Monday (Nov 1).
