Puad wants those involved in Batu Putih appeal failure to be sued

UMNO Supreme Council member Datuk Dr Puad Zarkashi has urged the government to sue those responsible for allegedly compromising Malaysia’s sovereignty over Pedra Branca (Batu Putih), which was awarded to Singapore.


Although he did not name anyone directly, Puad hinted that former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was involved, as Dr Mahathir was in office when Malaysia decided not to appeal the decision.

He also mentioned the SG4, states headed by the PAS that have Dr Mahathir as an adviser, saying they should be sold off too.


“Therefore, we await the presentation of the Pedra Branca report in Parliament. It’s true, we will not be able to reclaim that territory. But someone must be held accountable for selling the nation’s sovereignty. He must be sued. Let’s not have SG4 sold off as well,” he said in a Facebook post.

Additionally, Puad congratulated Law and Institutional Reform Minister Datuk Azalina Othman Said for Malaysia’s legal victory in the Sulu claim case. – Sept 8, 2024
