JOHOR BARU: Johor state assembly Speaker Datuk Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi has offered to take legal action against Tun Dr Mahathir MohamadIn a strongly-worded Facebook post on Thursday , the Rengit assemblyman slammed the former prime minister for causing the country to lose its claim over the rock forever.
“As such, I offer to be the one taking legal action against him as this is a matter of dignity... he sold Johor and the country’s sovereignty,” he said in the post.Mohd Puad also claimed that it was not widely known that on Feb 2, 2017, then-attorney general Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali had submitted a letter to the International Court of Justice for a judicial review of its decision on Batu Puteh.
“That part has been kept a secret. The rakyat only knew that the appeal period for the decision had ended. What was Tun M’s tactic ?“Until today, he is still arrogant refused to attend investigations held by the Batu Puteh special task force,” said Mohd Puad, while calling for a royal commission of inquiry to be formed to look into the Batu Puteh issue.
He said the move had not only set a negative precedent but also left a black mark in the history of our country and sovereignty.
