About Wong Hin Loong
Wong Hin Loong appears as counsel of record in 5 reported Malaysia judgments (2024–2026). These were heard before MYHC (4) and MYCOA (1).
On the court record
Wong Hin Loong's reported practice is in commercial, insolvency and construction litigation, appearing in the High Court and the Court of Appeal and acting as intervener, appellant and plaintiff.
His insolvency work includes a winding-up matter concerning Mudajaya Corporation Berhad and THB Power Sdn Bhd, in which he appeared as an intervener where the petition rested on an adjudication decision but the debt was said to be bona fide disputed. The matter engaged allegations of concealment and misrepresentation and the disclosure of without-prejudice communications, and a competing application to appoint private liquidators, raising the independence and specialised experience required of a liquidator under the Companies (Winding-Up) Rules 1972.
A substantial matter is a Court of Appeal fraud appeal concerning Newlake Development Sdn Bhd, in which he acted for the appellant. The claim advanced multiple causes of action — fraud, conspiracy to defraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, constructive or breach of trust, and breach of a professional duty of care and implied retainer — arising from the purported sale and purchase of land that never took place, where a prospective purchaser had paid a large sum and was left with losses.
His construction and commercial work includes a full-trial dispute concerning Teminsri Construction Sdn Bhd and Central Spectrum (M) Sdn Bhd arising from a development rights agreement ("Perjanjian Hak Pembangunan") that was never finalised for a proposed land-development project. He has also acted for plaintiffs, including China Machinery Engineering Corporation, on whether a call on a bank guarantee was unjustified or unconscionable and whether the dispute was a pure contractual one. The practice is commercial, insolvency and construction litigation, weighted towards fraud, disputed debts and the enforcement or restraint of security. Whether the vehicle is a winding-up petition, a fraud claim or a call on a guarantee, the recurring question is whether a debt or a transaction is genuine, and who should bear the loss when it is not.
