Seterusnya, di dalam kes Tan Tiang Lai v KKRMC Trading Sdn Bhd [2020] 1 LNS 1266 di mana Mahkamah memutuskan bahawa: [14] It is clear that the debtor company in Hong Leong Bank Berhad vs Ong Moon Huat [2018] 1 LNS 1612 had been wound up by the Court. The creditor applied for leave to commence bankruptcy proceeding against the guarantor. The High Court Judge was in agreement that as the debtor company had been wound up, no enforcement or execution can be taken against the debtor company anymore (at page 10-11 of the Judgment, it was held: “Apabila tindakan penggulungan dan kebankrapan telah diambil terhadap peminjam, tiada tindakan penguatkuasaan lain boleh diambil kerana aset syarikat yang digulungkan dan individu yang dibankrapkan adalah terletak kepada pelikuidasi”). But the leave application was dismissed by the High Court as the High Court was of the view that the word “debtor” in Section 5(4) also refers to the guarantor. On appeal to the Court of Appeal, the Court of Appeal allowed the creditor’s appeal and held that the word “debtor” in Section 5(4) does not refers to the guarantor hence leave was granted to the creditor to commence bankruptcy proceeding against the debtor. It is plain and obvious that from the judgment of the Court of Appeal, the Court of Appeal in allowing the appeal and granting the leave to the creditor, did not at all say that the creditor was required to wait until the liquidation of the debtor company’s assets had been realised or completed before the creditor could proceed with bankruptcy proceeding against the guarantor. [15] Further, the Judgment Creditor highlighted in their submission that the background facts of the Hong Leong Bank Bhd v. Khairulnizam Bin Jamaludin [2016] 4 MLJ 302 case whereby the hirer in that case had been adjudged a bankrupt and the Federal Court had held that the appellant had proved that it had exhausted all avenues to recover the debts owed to it. [16] This Court is of the view that as the principal borrower, Sagajuta had been wound up since 2016 and Proof of Debt has been filed by the Judgment Creditor and admitted by the Liquidator, there is no avenue left for the Judgment Creditor to recover the debt from the principal borrower by using the modes of execution and enforcement within the meaning of S. 5 (4) & (6) of the Insolvency Act 1967. To hold otherwise would result in the contravention of the clear provision of S. 472 (3) and S. 528 of the Companies Act 2016. Applying the aforesaid statute and authorities to the facts of this case, this Court is satisfied on the Affidavit evidence that the Judgment Creditor has exhausted all modes of execution and enforcement to recover debts owed to them by the Appellant / Judgment Debtor.”
