The move to establish the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to review the issue of Malaysia’s sovereignty over Batu Puteh, Batuan Tengah, and Tubir Selatan will facilitate additional investigations to uncover the truth behind the issue.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Azalina Othman Said said the establishment of the RCI will also assist the government in processes and procedures related to national sovereignty.
