Raymond Mah
About Raymond Mah
Raymond Mah appears as counsel of record in 5 reported Malaysia judgments (2025–2026). These were heard before MYHC (5).
On the court record
Raymond Mah's reported practice is concentrated in land law and strata management, appearing in the High Court and acting for plaintiffs, appellants and defendants, often against the land authorities.
A dominant strand concerns the enforcement of conditions of title under the National Land Code 1965 ("Kanun Tanah Negara 1965"). In matters concerning Danga Bay Sdn Bhd, Falcon Unigreen Sdn Bhd and Iskandar Waterfront Sdn Bhd against the Johor Bahru Land Administrator and the Johor State Government, he challenged the issuance of statutory notices for an alleged breach of the express conditions of title ("syarat nyata"). Those matters engaged the Form 7A and Form 7B notices under sections 127 to 129 of the National Land Code, the appeal against them under section 418, and whether the notices were premature or issued in bad faith. The arguments drew on the limits of judicial intervention in the Land Administrator's discretion, including mala fide, abuse of power and Wednesbury unreasonableness ("ketidakrasionalan Wednesbury").
His strata work includes a High Court matter concerning Sime Darby Property, in which he acted for a plaintiff seeking to set aside a consent order and to recalculate share units under the First Schedule of the Strata Management Act 2013. The case raised whether a joint management body had acted ultra vires in recording the consent order, whether it could retrospectively amend share units, and whether estoppel could operate in the face of a statute.
He has also appeared for a defendant, a management corporation, in a strata dispute engaging section 36(c) of the Strata Titles Act 1985, estoppel by conduct and a Form 20 notice. The practice is land and strata litigation, with a strong grasp of the statutory notices, conditions of title and management-body powers that govern how land and stratified property may be used. The recurring adversary is the land authority or a management body, and the recurring question is the lawful limit of its powers.
