Contentious island: Pulau Batu Puteh was awarded to Singapore in the 2008 world court decision.
KOTA TINGGI: The Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on the Batu Puteh case showed Malaysia had strong grounds to appeal a 2008 world court decision that awarded the island to Singapore, says Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
The Defence Minister said that when he was Johor mentri besar in 2017, the state government had acquired newly declassified documents from the British government on the status of Pulau Batu Puteh.
