Malaysia's Royal Commission of Inquiry urges probe into Mahathir over disputed islets

Malaysia's Royal Commission of Inquiry has recommended the conduct of a criminal investigation into former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad over his decision to drop claims on two disputed islets in the Singapore Strait. The government in 2018 decided then to drop a challenge to a World Court ruling over the sovereignty of three islets in waters between Malaysia and Singapore. Dr Mahathir, who led the government at that time, stands accused of deceiving the cabinet on the matter. Afifah Ariffin reports from Kuala Lumpur.
