D2 and/or D3 have wrongfully and in breach of trust and confidence transferred all of D1’s shares to D4, i.e. a non-party to the Agreement, in order to not only defraud the Plaintiff of his ownership in D1, but also to evade liability, thereby intentionally and deliberately in bad faith placing the assets and shares of the D1 beyond the reach of the law.” [See supporting affidavit Enclosure 5 at paragraph 9 and the plaintiff’s written submission Enclosure 32 at paragraphs 4 and 20]. ii.

D3 expressed interest in buying over the plaintiff's company, D1 [38] As mentioned earlier, D1 was at all material times a sale and service car workshop centre and is an authorised 3S car dealer for the Proton-brand motor vehicles. As such, D1 was able to obtain direct support, automobile parts and vehicle stocks directly from Proton Holdings Berhad (623177-A) (“Proton”) subject to conditions imposed by Proton. [39] In or around August 2020, D3 approached the plaintiff expressing an interest in buying over the plaintiff's company, D1. [40] Terms were agreed between the plaintiff and D3. Share Sale Agreement dated 04-02-2021 between the plaintiff [holding 75% shares in D1] and Lai Li Fa [holding 25% shares in D1 on trust for the plaintiff] as vendors and D2 as purchaser [“Share Sale Agreement”] [41] D3 used D2 as his corporate vehicle to buy D1. D2 [42] D3 and D5 are directors in D2. D3 is the major shareholder in D2 holding 13,493,390 shares while D6 holds 244,995 shares in D2. [See supporting affidavit Enclosure 5 at Exhibit “TYH-4” for D2's SSM record]. D6 [43] D3 is also a director in D6 together with D14 and D16. D3 is also a major shareholder in D6. The other shareholders are D14 to D16. [See supporting affidavit Enclosure 5 at Exhibit “TYH-4” for D6's SSM record]. [44] D2 and D6 have the same business address. Share Sale Agreement [45] A Share Sale Agreement dated 04-02-2021 between the plaintiff [holding 75% shares in D1] and Lai Li Fa [holding 25% shares in D1 on trust for the plaintiff] as vendors and D2 as purchaser was then signed. [“Share Sale Agreement”] [See the Share Sale Agreement dated 04-02-2021 at PDF page 18 of the Affidavit in Enclosure 7 Exhibit TYH- 9]. [46] By the Share Sale Agreement, the plaintiff sold all his 100% shares in D1 as well as the business of D1 to D2 for RM 6,480,000. [See plaintiff’s supporting affidavit Enclosure 5 English translation at paragraph 30]. D3 took control of D1 on 20-08-2021 [47] On 20-08-2021, the plaintiff [and Lai La Fa as his nominee] executed the transfer of all the plaintiff’s shares in D1 to D2, the plaintiff [and Lai La Fa] resigned as directors of D1, and D3 was appointed as the new director of D1. [For the appointment of D3 as the new director and the resignations of the plaintiff and Lai La Fa as directors of D1 see the Affidavit in Support at Enclosure 7 at PDF page 69 Exhibit TYH-10] [For the transfer of all the shares of the plaintiff and [Lai La Fa as his nominee] in D1 to D2 see the Affidavit in Support at Enclosure 7 at PDF pages 71 - 73 Exhibit TYH-10] Default in payment of the balance purchase price of RM 5,832,000 [48] Prior to the execution of the Share Sale Agreement, D2 had already made a deposit payment of RM 648,000.00 towards the total purchase consideration around the end of 2020. [49] Pursuant to clause 3.2 of the Share Sale Agreement, D2 was obliged to pay the remainder of RM 5,832,000.00 upon the completion of the Share Sale Agreement on or before 31-01-2021. As the shares of D1 have been fully transferred by the plaintiff to D2, the remainder of RM 5,832,000 was already due. [50] However, subsequently, on 23-08-2021, at a meeting between D3 and the plaintiff (“Extension Meeting”), D3 informed the plaintiff that D2 was not able to pay and asked for more time. [51] D3 and the plaintiff then agreed at the Extension Meeting to enter into a Supplementary Agreement to the Share Sale Agreement dated 10- 09-2021 (“Supplementary Agreement”) to allow D2 to use D1 company to procure loans and/or financial assistance to settle the balance purchase price. [A copy of the Supplementary Agreement dated 10-09-2021 can be seen on PDF pages 77 to 87 of the Affidavit in Enclosure 7 Exhibit TYH- 11] [52] D3 also executed a personal guarantee dated 21-09-2021 to guarantee the payment of the balance purchase price. A copy of the Deed of Guarantee dated 21-09-2021 can be seen on PDF pages 90 to 97 of the plaintiff’s Affidavit in Enclosure 7 Exhibit TYH-12]. [53] Under the Supplementary Agreement, the balance purchase price of RM 5,832,000 must be paid at the latest on 30-12-2021. [See Clauses 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 of the Supplementary Agreement]. [54] At D3’s request, the plaintiff even assisted D2 in expediting and obtaining the release of a payment of around RM 4,384,452.36 and RM 622,433.16 due from the Ministry of Defence to D2. This has been confirmed and admitted by D3 himself through a WhatsApp message on 24-10-2022. [A copy of the letter dated 16-04-2021 issued by D2 to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Defence of Malaysia can be seen on PDF page 100 of the plaintiff’s Affidavit in Enclosure 7 at Exhibit TYH-13]. [The WhatsApp messages dated 24-10-2022 between the plaintiff and D3 can be seen on PDF page 102 of the plaintiff’s Affidavit in Enclosure 7 at Exhibit TYH-13]. [55] However, D2 only made a total payment of RM 2,948,000.00 paid through various sporadic payments on 22-12-2021, 16-02-2022 and 28-03-2022. As of to-date, there is an outstanding balance of RM 3,532,000. [56] Despite numerous reminders, the 2nd defendant failed, refused and/or neglected to make payment of the balance purchase price in the sum of RM 3,532,000. [57] The defendants in their reply affidavit and in their written submissions merely denied owing the balance purchase price to the plaintiff. No proof was produced to show the balance purchase price had been fully paid. [58] In any event, it is clear from the WhatsApp messages dated 24-10- 2022 between the plaintiff and D3 that I have referred to earlier that D3 has admitted the balance purchase price has not been fully paid. [59] I shall elaborate more on these admissions by D3 when I consider below the issue whether the plaintiff has shown that he has a good arguable case against D3 for the grant of a mareva injunction. Plaintiff alleged fraud by D3 and the defendants [60] The plaintiff contends D3 and D2 have not fully paid the balance purchase price because, and I quote, – i. However, upon further investigation and revelation, the Plaintiff realised that D2 and/or D3 have been perpetrating an actual and/or equitable fraud and/or fraudulent misrepresentation upon him. D2 and/or D3 have wrongfully and in breach of trust and confidence transferred all of D1’s shares to D4, i.e. a non-party to the Agreement, in order to not only defraud the Plaintiff of his ownership in D1, but also to evade liability, thereby intentionally and deliberately in bad faith placing the assets and shares of the D1 beyond the reach of the law. ii. D3 has also deliberately used various companies under his control as his vehicles of fraud to conceal and/or evade liability. In order to evade and/or conceal liability to the Plaintiff, D3 has orchestrated various unlawful tactical manoeuvres to shift the business operation of D2 to various other companies controlled directly or indirectly by him. This has been performed in order to fraudulently, unlawfully, cunningly and/or maliciously move, appropriate and/or transfer the monies and assets derived from the revenue and business of D2 to agents, representatives and/or proxies of D3, including but not limited to D4, D5, D14, D15 and/or D16 and other entities under the direct or indirect control of D3, including but not limited to D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11, D12, D13, D17, D18 and/or D19. [unquote]. D2, D3 and/or D4 have successfully secured a RM 4 million financial assistance from Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Berhad using an Open charge from Public bank on D1 [61] The plaintiff also contends that the representations made by D3 that he is unable to settle the balance purchase price in the sum of RM 3,532,000 owed to the plaintiff because he and D2 had no funds are false. [62] The evidence shows that D2, D3 and/or D4 have successfully secured a RM 4 million financial assistance from Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Berhad (Registration no. 199101010745 (221057-V)) under a Tawarruq Facility Agreement through a charge created on 15-05-2024 and a financing facility through an open charge on the assets of D1 from Public Bank Berhad through a Certificate of Registration of Charge dated 05-08-2022. [See paragraphs 44.15 to 44.19 of the Affidavit in Support at PDF pages 89 to 94 of Enclosure 5] [A copy of the D1’s particulars of charges showing the receipt of financing can be seen on PDF pages 237 to 239 of the Affidavit in Enclosure 7 at Exhibit TYH 15]. [63] These monies were never used to pay the plaintiff the balance purchase price. Suit filed [64] Consequently, the plaintiff filed this suit against the nineteen defendants on 05-02-2025 and applied for a mareva injunction. Mareva allowed [65] On 11-03-2025 I had allowed the mareva application against only the 1st to 4th, 6th and 14th defendants. The sealed order can be seen in Enclosure 68. The order I made as set out in the sealed order in Enclosure 68 is-It Is Hereby Ordered That: -
