Dr M’s walkout ‘regrettable’


PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s refusal to attend inquiries by the Batu Puteh special task force is disappointing as the former prime minister was well aware about Tan Sri Apandi Ali’s appointment as chairman of the task force, says Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department in charge of Parliament and law said the task force only wanted to listen to views regarding the government’s decision to withdraw the appeal over the decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that Singapore had sovereignty over Batu Puteh.
