Petronas, Sarawak, and the Petroleum Rights the Law Has Yet to Settle
The Federal Court has granted Petronas leave to challenge the constitutionality of several Sarawak state laws governing petroleum. The case will test the division of regulatory authority between the Federation and the Borneo states — and the legal effect of the bargains struck at Malaysia’s founding.
The Friendly Loan, the Litecoin, and the Debt the Law Would Not Let Him Collect Twice
Ong Seow Lee lent RM70,000. The borrower repaid him in Litecoin — 50 units, worth about RM87,000. Ong accepted the crypto, then sued for cash. The Court of Appeal said no: if you accept cryptocurrency as repayment, the debt is gone — you cannot keep the crypto while also claiming the ringgit.
Wong Jun Kit and the Constructive Dismissal
After his father died, Wong Jun Kit challenged the will — and his stepmother slashed his salary. The Industrial Court awarded him approximately RM1 million for constructive dismissal. The Federal Court has now refused leave to appeal.
The Orang Asli Villagers and Their Ancestral Right
When seven Orang Asli villagers sued over desecrated ancestral graves, the Federal Court held that customary land rights cannot be cancelled by a commercial lease. The ruling reinforces that indigenous dignity and constitutional protections extend to burial grounds.

A developer was sued alongside a related tenant for unpaid rent. The Court of Appeal set aside the High Court’s decision to pierce the corporate veil, ruling that control and injustice are not enough — actual fraud or unconscionable conduct must be proved.
Zschimmer & Schwarz and the Persons Unknown
