About Allan Ng
Allan Ng appears as counsel of record in 4 reported Malaysia judgments (2024–2026). These were heard before MYHC (3) and MYCOA (1).
On the court record
Allan Ng's reported practice is in commercial litigation, professional negligence and construction-related disputes, appearing in the High Court and the Court of Appeal and acting for appellants, plaintiffs and defendants.
A distinct strand concerns transactions said to disguise illegal moneylending. In a Court of Appeal matter, in which he acted for appellants, the question was whether a sale and purchase agreement and a tenancy agreement were sham transactions masking an illegal moneylending transaction under the Moneylenders Act 1951 and the Contracts Act 1950, and whether the appellants were barred by res judicata given an earlier suit founded on the non-payment of the sale proceeds — a case that turns on looking behind the documents to the true nature of the dealing.
A significant matter is a professional-negligence claim concerning a statutory auditor and a fund-management company. Acting for a plaintiff, he pursued the question whether a statutory auditor owes a common-law duty of care to third-party investors for pure economic loss — whether there is sufficient proximity through a voluntary assumption of responsibility and actual reliance, whether passive or indirect reliance on audit reports suffices, and whether the loss was foreseeable.
His construction and commercial work includes related High Court matters concerning China Machinery Engineering Corporation, in which he acted for a defendant, on whether a call on a bank guarantee was unjustified or unconscionable and whether the disputes were purely contractual. The practice is commercial, professional-negligence and construction litigation, with a recurring focus on illegality, the duties owed by professional advisers, and the enforcement or restraint of security such as bank guarantees. Across the moneylending, audit and guarantee matters, the recurring question is whether a transaction or an assurance is what it appears to be, and who must answer when a third party relies on it and loses. The work moves between looking behind documents to their substance and defining the duties that professional advisers and contracting parties owe to those who deal with them.
