Johor Seeks Legal Action Against Those Responsible for Losing Pedra Branca to SingaporeThe Johor state government is demanding legal action against anyone involved in the loss of Batu Puteh (Pedra Branca) to Singapore. Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi criticized the withdrawal of the review and interpretation application against the International Court of Justice (ICJ) decision, calling it intentional and baseless, as it contradicted historical facts and legal advice. He highlighted the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report, which revealed that the federal government withdrew the application despite new evidence strengthening Malaysia's claim and contradicting the 2008 ICJ ruling in favor of Singapore. The RCI recommended criminal investigations against those involved. Onn Hafiz stressed that the failure to pursue Malaysia's claim over Batu Puteh marked a dark point in Malaysian and Johor's history, where the nation lost a chance to regain a territory under the Johor Sultanate. He emphasized the state government's commitment to safeguarding Johor's and Malaysia's sovereignty and warned against attempts to distort the issue and threaten the nation's sovereignty.
