00:00Three members of Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's administration during his second stint as

00:05Prime Minister said they had no opportunity to state their stance on the Batu Puteh issue

00:10after the former leader accused them of remaining silent during their maiden cabinet meeting

00:14in 2018.

00:15Dr. Wan Azizawan Ismail, Lok Siu Fook and Mohamad Sabu said they were only informed

00:21of Mahathir's decision not to proceed with the applications to review and interpret the

00:252008 ruling by the International Court of Justice on the Rocky Island.

00:30Wan Azizawan, Lok Siu Fook and Mohamad Sabu were the Deputy Prime Minister, Transport

00:34Minister and Defence Minister at the time.

00:37In their joint statement today, they said that as a statesman, Mahathir should take

00:41responsibility for his actions instead of trying to shift the blame.

00:45On Tuesday, Mahathir again denied making a unilateral decision not to proceed with the

00:50applications to review and interpret the ICJ's decision on Batu Puteh, saying that

00:55if the cabinet members disagreed, they could have spoken up.

00:58The Royal Commission of Inquiry on Batu Puteh, Middle Rocks and Southledge previously revealed

01:03that Mahathir had written to the Solicitor General on May 21, 2018, stating that the

01:07ICJ applications need not be continued.
