Once a little-known region, Ningxia in China is fast becoming one of the country’s top attractions.
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.
“For such an important matter involving national sovereignty, the process should have been more thorough,” Loke told reporters after delivering the keynote address at the Malaysia-China Summit here on Tuesday .“Honestly, to many Cabinet members there, it was our first meeting. We don’t even know what a memorandum jemaah menteri looks like.
“Only after looking at the feedback can we make a more informed decision. Looking back, this was not the case,” he said.In a joint statement on Dec 12, Loke, former defence minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu and former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said Dr Mahathir had merely “informed” the cabinet on May 23, 2018 about his unilateral decision to drop Malaysia’s appeal in the Batu Puteh case on May 21, 2018.
