Saifuddin: PM decided to hold press conference that way

When Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad addressed the press by himself to announce Malaysia's withdrawal from the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, there was speculation that some members of the cabinet were in disagreement.

However, Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah, who attended the cabinet meeting before the announcement, assured that all the ministers were behind Mahathir, and that the solo press meet was the prime minister's decision.
