KUALA LUMPUR: The decision to withdraw the application for a review of the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) decision on Batu Puteh was based on the advice of former attorney general (AG) Tan Sri Apandi Ali, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
The former prime minister said Apandi's appointment as chairman of the special task force to review the ICJ decision to award legal jurisdiction of Batu Puteh to Singapore also had a conflict of interest.
