Batu Puteh RCI stays closed-door, ex-CJ still heads it

The Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into Malaysia’s 2018 withdrawal of its appeal over the International Court of Justice (ICJ) decision to award Batu Puteh’s sovereignty to Singapore will remain closed-door and not open to the public.

The RCI will also still be headed by former chief justice Md Raus Sharif, whom former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad claimed is biased against him.
