On the court record
Mohd Faiz Bin Abd Rahim appears in the corpus in disputes over illegal moneylending and strata-management enforcement, argued in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) and the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan). Two related Court of Appeal appeals, appearing for the respondent, formed part of the recurring line of cases in which apparent sales and purchases of land are said to be sham transactions concealing illegal moneylending; the appeals asked whether transactions cast as genuine conveyances were in truth disguised loans, whether it is appropriate for the court to scrutinise the documents and the substance of the dealings once unlicensed lending is alleged, whether the maxims in pari delicto and ex turpi causa non oritur actio operate to deny relief, and whether the trial court had been plainly wrong. A third matter, in the High Court and appearing for the respondent, arose in the strata context: registered owners of units in a condominium had carried out internal renovations, adding rooms for the purpose of renting them out, and applied to set aside the enforcement notices issued against them. The applicants contended that the management body had exceeded its powers and had contravened the Strata Management Act 2013 and the Strata Management (Maintenance and Management) Regulations 2025, while the respondent maintained that its action was lawful and regular under section 70(1) of the relevant legislation; the 'permohonan ditolak' (the application was dismissed). The strata matter is a good illustration of the friction that arises when proprietors treat their parcels as freely alterable while the management body seeks to enforce uniform standards across the development: the owners framed the enforcement notices as an excess of power, whereas the management body relied on its statutory authority, and the court's dismissal of the application vindicated that authority. Across the appearances the practice combines the unpicking of transactions said to disguise unlawful lending with the enforcement of the by-laws and statutory rules that govern the alteration and use of strata parcels, where the powers of the management body and the obligations of proprietors are frequently in tension.
