00:00Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says the report submitted by the Royal Commission of Inquiry
00:05on Batu Putih, Middle Rocks and Southledge has unveiled treachery committed against Malaysia.
00:12Anwar said the previous government, namely the administration that Dr Mahathir Mohamad
00:16led from May 2018 to February 2020, should have fought to the end for every inch of Malaysia's
00:22territory.
00:23He said the RCI has revealed weaknesses, adding that any misconduct related to the handing
00:27over of sovereignty is major treachery.
00:30Anwar, however, said the legal process must be respected and he will allow that to take
00:35place first.
00:37Yesterday, the RCI's Declassified Report said Mahathir had unilaterally decided against
00:42proceeding with the applications to review and interpret the International Court of Justice's
00:472008 decision on Batu Putih.
00:50The RCI also recommended that a police report be filed against Mahathir, saying a criminal
00:54investigation should be initiated under Section 415B of the Penal Code for cheating.
00:59In 2008, the ICJ awarded Middle Rocks to Malaysia and Batu Putih to Singapore, while the ownership
01:05of Southledge was left for determination based on the delimitation of territorial waters.
