PETALING JAYA: Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi has offered to sue Dr Mahathir Mohamad for withdrawing an application to review the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) decision that Singapore had sovereignty over Batu Puteh.
“We can no longer afford to do nothing. The appeal period is over and, as a lesson, Mahathir must be sued and pay damages,” he said in a Facebook post.
“I am willing to sue Mahathir myself.”
He said damages “to the tune of RM3 billion” was appropriate.
This comes after Mahathir abruptly walked out of an interview with the special task force reviewing the Batu Puteh, Middle Rocks and South Ledge sovereignty case at the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) on Tuesday.
According to a report on Astro Awani, Mahathir did this in protest against former attorney-general Apandi Ali remaining as the task force chairman. He said Apandi’s appointment was a conflict of interest as he was the attorney-general in 2017.
Putrajaya had, on Feb 3, 2017, filed an application to review the ICJ’s decision on May 23, 2008 that Singapore had sovereignty over Batu Puteh.
However, in 2018, the Pakatan Harapan government under Mahathir withdrew the application before the case came up for hearing on June 11.

Puad Zakarshi is the classic case of a talentless dumbo, who resorts to Muscle and spin to compensate for his lack of ability.
ReplyDeleteSo many internal socio-economic problems encroaching into the daily lives of the public yet these mfering politikus just pick & choose the most ketuanan emotive issue to shitstiring the ketuanan freak/zombie/blur-sotong into frenzy!
ReplyDeleteThe International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) decision that Singapore had sovereignty over Batu Puteh is FINAL unless there r rock solid evidences to entice the ICJ to rewrite it's earlier court verdict?
Besides, RedDot would definitely challenge this change & drag on the case no end.
Who would win the final legal right on a rocky outpost?
The one with the money, intellectual & stamina. & these r rare traces of these ketuanan race!
All these ketuanan politikus can only play this game within the bolihland ketuanan ambient. Once outside bolihland, it becomes a laughing stock of incompetent!

ReplyDeleteThis is what I would call "talk big". But nothing will happen.
Because by the time the special task force comes out with a report of the Pedra Banca review, the old buffoon would have died.
