No further action against Dr M did not override AG's decision
PUTRAJAYA: No further action against former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad over the sovereignty issue of Pulau Batu Puteh did not override the Attorney-General's decision, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The Prime Minister said the decision was made by the Cabinet, despite the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) having recommended otherwise. 'The RCI had recommended that criminal investigations be initiated against Tun Mahathir for betraying the country and for follow-up action to be taken. 'So, I did not override the Attorney-General's decision; it was a Cabinet decision. Although the wrongdoing was a serious betrayal, considering the circumstances and situation, we proposed that it need not be taken further,' he told reporters after attending the 50th Prime Minister's Cup Debate Finals here today. Anwar was responding to Perikatan Nasional (PN) chief whip Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan's motion to refer him to the Parliamentary Rights and Privileges Committee over his remarks on the RCI into the Pulau Batu Puteh issue. Previously, Anwar said the government has decided not to proceed with action against Dr Mahathir due to age-related considerations. The RCI on the Handling of Matters Related to the Sovereignty of Batu Puteh, Middle Rocks and South Ledge had recommended that criminal investigations be initiated against Dr Mahathir. That recommendation was among those included in the 217-page RCI report that was distributed to Members of Parliament in the Dewan Rakyat. - Bernama

Govt never interfered in A-G's Batu Puteh decision, says Anwar
PUTRAJAYA: The government has never interfered with any matters under the Attorney-General's (AG) jurisdiction, including the action to be taken towards former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in the Batu Puteh case. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this was despite the recommendations made by the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into Batu Puteh, Middle Rocks, and South Ledge for criminal investigations to be taken against Dr Mahathir. He said this in response to a motion submitted by Perikatan Nasional (PN) to refer him to the Parliamentary Special Select Committee on Privileges, over a statement he made in the Dewan Rakyat regarding the Batu Puteh issue, which allegedly misled the House. "The task force had proposed that a report be filed against Dr Mahathir for alleged betrayal of the country, and that further action be taken. "So, I did not bypass the A-G's decision. "Although the offence was serious, taking into account the context and circumstances, the cabinet proposed that the matter not be pursued further," he said when met by reporters after the 2025 Prime Minister's Cup Debate Finals.
