Former Malaysian PM Mahathir denies betrayal, rejects call for criminal investigation over 2018 territorial decision.

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad denies allegations of betrayal and rejects a royal commission's recommendation for a criminal investigation into his 2018 decision to drop Malaysia's claim over the Pedra Branca islet against Singapore. Mahathir argues the decision was made by his cabinet based on legal advice, questioning why other ministers were not similarly investigated. He calls the inquiry politically motivated, aimed at damaging his reputation.
