Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad filed an application for judicial review at the High Court here today seeking to have the proceedings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the handling of issues related to the sovereignty of Batu Puteh, Middle Rocks and South Ledge conducted publicly.
He filed the application through the legal firm of Law Practice of Rafique, naming RCI chairman Tun Md Raus Sharif and his deputy Tan Sri Zainun Ali as the first and second respondents. In the application, Dr Mahathir is seeking a declaration that he is an individual involved in or related to the matter being investigated by the RCI under Section 18 of the Commissions of Inquiry Act 1950 .
Dr Mahathir said Md Raus’s appointment as RCI chairman posed a “real danger of bias” due to existing animosity between Md Raus and himself, which could affect Md Raus’s impartiality in making decisions for the RCI proceedings.
