‘Dr M made a unilateral decision’


PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad acted unilaterally on the Batu Puteh sovereignty issue when he was the prime minister, according to three former ministers who served in the Cabinet in 2018.

In a joint statement, former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, former defence minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu and then transport minister Anthony Loke said Dr Mahathir had decided on May 21, 2018, not to pursue the claim for Batu Puteh in a written statement to the Solicitor General without referring to the Cabinet.
