Dr Mahathir denies being treacherous in making Batu Puteh decision


PUTRAJAYA: Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has denied being treacherous to the country, saying that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) decision on Batu Puteh was accepted in line with commitments made to other countries.

He said the decision was made with the full agreement of the Cabinet in 2018, as the Middle Rocks awarded to Malaysia are considered to be more valuable than Batu Puteh, which was awarded to Singapore.
