00:00
The High Court has denied Dr Mahathir Mohamad the right to be present, either personally
00:06
or through his lawyers, at the Batu Putih Royal Commission of Inquiry hearing.
00:11
Justice Amarjeet Singh gave no reason for his ruling, but said he would give his grounds
00:15
of judgement in due course.
00:17
Last year, Zainul Zakaria submitted that the inquiry violated Section 18 of the RCI Act
00:23
1950, which provides that any person whose conduct is the subject of inquiry or is in
00:28
any way implicated or concerned in the matter under inquiry shall be entitled to representation
00:33
by an advocate at the whole of the inquiry.
00:35
However, Senior Federal Counsel Shamsulbul Hassan submitted that Mahathir's application
00:40
was academic, as the RCI's report had already been submitted to the King, declassified and
00:45
released on the Parliament's website, although several of its recommendations were redacted.
00:51
The RCI was inquiring into Mahathir's decision to withdraw an application to review a decision
00:56
by the International Court of Justice made in 2009 awarding sovereignty over Batu Putih
01:01
to Singapore.
01:02
The review, along with an application to interpret the ICJ's judgement to address certain ambiguities
01:07
and implications, particularly regarding the status of Southledge, was filed by the government
01:12
in 2017.
01:13
The RCI's report found that Mahathir had likely deliberately acted to influence the
01:18
Cabinet to discontinue both applications, despite the views of international consultants
01:23
who said they had a reasonable likelihood of success.
