CONTINGENT LIABILITIES On 11 January 2019, the recipient of KTM Komuter Station, Perbadanan Aset Keretapi (“PAK”) has issued a certificate of non-completion (“CNC”) to Srijang Kemajuan Sdn. Bhd. (“SKSB”), a 99.99% owned subsidiary of the Company, and stating that SKSB has failed to complete the construction of KTM Komuter Station (“Construction Works”) by 10 December 2016 and therefore PAK is entitled to impose liquidated ascertained damages (“LAD”) pursuant to the Development cum Lease Agreement (“DCLA”) dated 12 October 2012 entered into between PAK and SKSB. The LAD will be calculated daily at a rate of RM4,438.36 from the revised completion date on 10 December 2016 (extension of time number 1) until the completion of the Construction Works. On 28 February 2019, SKSB has written to dispute the validity of the CNC on the grounds that SKSB had on 10 January 2017 submitted extension of time (“EOT”) number 2 of which PAK has yet to assess SKSB’s application for EOT number 2 and on the same day, SKSB submitted EOT number 3 in view of the delay by relevant authorities in approving the change of building design and use of building materials. On 19 August 2019, PAK granted SKSB’s EOT number 2, for a period of up to 8 January 2017 (“EOT 2”). On 13 January 2020, SKSB has written to appeal for the EOT 2 to be extended to 30 December 2017 instead of 8 January 2017.
