00:00The Royal Commission of Inquiry on Batu Putih has recommended that a police report be filed
00:07against former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad for cheating.
00:11The RCI's declassified report on its findings was released on the Parliament website with
00:16many of its recommendations redacted.
00:19Among the unredacted recommendations was that the RCI's Secretary file a police report against
00:25Mahathir so that a criminal investigation could be initiated under Section 415B of the
00:30Penal Code.
00:32However, the RCI did not recommend filing a civil suit for tort of misfeasance in public
00:38office against Mahathir due to the six-year limitation period.

00:47Young Diputuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim at Istana Negara on August 12.
00:53In June, Mahathir denied acting unilaterally when deciding not to proceed with an application
