Catchwords
Abstract The claims are for RM14.68 million based on alleged oral promises made in 2008 for profit-sharing and employment benefits from energy companies. The plaintiff claimed entitlement to 8% of project profits and other benefits after leaving his position to develop offshore production technology. The court rejected secretly recorded conversations as inadmissible due to non-compliance with section 90A Evidence Act 1950 and dismissed the claims on three grounds: time-barred under the Limitation Act 1953, barred by res judicata from a withdrawn Industrial Court case, and failure to prove the alleged oral promises. Keywords • Oral agreements • Section 90A Evidence Act 1950 • Limitation Act 1953 • Res judicata • Digital evidence admissibility
