Batu Puteh issue: Loke stands his ground, maintains Dr M acted on his own


KUALA LUMPUR: Accused of lying by former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Transport Minister Anthony Loke has stood firm, saying that no briefing was given to the Cabinet on the sovereignty issue involving Batu Puteh, Middle Rocks and South Ledge in 2018.

Loke said Dr Mahathir and the public should read the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report in its entirety, which laid out the entire chronology and background of the issue.
