Work highlights
Representing TCS Construction in ongoing litigation regarding payment disputes for the KTCC Mall project in Kuala Terengganu. The RM7.4 million ($1.8 million) claim against eight defendants, including MPM Project Management and individual directors, involves allegations of conspiracy and corporate veil piercing. The case is further complicated by MPM's liquidation and various related applications, including proceedings to remove the liquidator. The matter raises significant questions about corporate liability and conspiracy claims in Malaysian construction disputes.
