PETALING JAYA: A Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) will be set up to scrutinise issues related to the sovereignty of Batu Puteh (Pedra Branca), Batuan Tengah (Middle Rocks) and Tubir Selatan (South Ledge), says Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali.
The RCI comes after the loss of Batu Puteh to Singapore following a ruling by the International Court of Justice (IJC) in May 2008, and the subsequent decision by the government in 2018 to withdraw a review application of the court’s decision before it was heard in June that year.
