Wong Kah Hui
About Wong Kah Hui
Wong Kah Hui 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 Kah Hui's reported practice is in commercial and company litigation, with a marked command of freezing and preservation relief, appearing in the High Court and the Court of Appeal and acting mainly for defendants and respondents.
A recurring theme is the Mareva freezing injunction and the orders that surround it. In a matter involving HS Bio Sdn Bhd, in which she acted for a defendant, the court refused a Mareva injunction but ordered that RM3.4 million placed by the first defendant in a fixed deposit be preserved pending disposal of the suit; the appeal that followed challenged only that preservation order, raising whether a court may preserve funds despite declining a freezing injunction. In another matter, concerning the Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute and A2Z Technology Sdn Bhd, she acted for a defendant on an application for proprietary and Mareva injunctions premised on fraud, where the court dismissed the inter partes injunction and set aside the ex parte order, finding no real risk of dissipation, no serious issue to be tried and unexplained delay.
Her company work includes an application to give evidence by remote communication technology under section 15A of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 and Order 33A of the Rules of Court 2012, in a matter involving MMAG Holdings Berhad. She has also appeared for a defendant in a housing dispute on whether a developer was liable for liquidated ascertained damages for late delivery where ministerial approval was required, and on whether the delivery period ran from the booking fee, applying PJD Regency.
Her work reaches employment law, where, acting for respondents in a Court of Appeal matter concerning M Jets International Sdn Bhd, the appeal turned on whether the Labour Office retained jurisdiction over a wage claim under section 69A of the Employment Act after a reference to the Industrial Court. The practice is commercial, company, housing and employment litigation, with a particular strength in interim relief.
