    Mr. Andrew Lim alleged that his lawyer, Allan Lao, mishandled two legal cases and lied to him, wasting all his money. However, Allan provides details showing he obtained judgments in both cases as requested, and that Andrew was aware the defendants had no assets to recover from. Emails also show Andrew did not pay due to his own financial constraints, not Allan's work. Allan concludes the allegations are baseless and untrue, as he competently represented Andrew without payment upfront, and was never involved in Andrew's money lending business or lied to him.

    Reply to allegations on Kuching Money Cheater

    Dear All,
    It has been brought to my attention that Mr. Andrew T Y Lim has made several postings on
    the Facebook Group called Kuching Money Cheater whereby he has alleged that he has
    wasted all his money due to my mishandling of his cases with no professionalism and
    incompetency and that I am a liar.
    Case No. 1
    In April, 2011, Mr. Andrew T Y Lim instructed me to file a debt recovery action for RM196k
    against one of his trade debtors. The trade debtor was a private limited company. The suit
    was commenced in the Sessions Court and a summary judgment application (SJ) was filed
    in order to expedite the process of getting judgment. The SJ was dismissed by the Sessions
    Court on 10.4.2012. An appeal to the High Court against the dismissal order of the Sessions
    Court was successful and judgment was entered against the Defendant on 14.08.2012.
    The defendant then lodged an appeal to the Court Of Appeal which was dismissed and the
    decision of the High Court was affirmed by the Court Of Appeal. For benefit of non-lawyers,
    this means that Mr. Andrew T Y Lim has won the case.
    Thereafter, DAST has tried to execute the judgment against the judgment debtor but
    unfortunately the judgment debtor has no assets. During the course of the legal
    proceedings, the defendant made 2 attempts to negotiate to settle the claim amicably by
    making proposals to pay a lesser sum in full settlement of the claim. The first offer that was
    made at the Sessions Court stage amounted to 80% of the claim. The second offer that was
    made at the Court Of Appeal stage amounted to 51% of the claim. On both occasions, Mr.
    Andrew T Y Lim refused to accept the offers.
    Case No. 2
    Sometime in February 2013, my office filed another Writ against 5 defendants on behalf of
    Mr. Andrew T Y Lim for overdue sub-contract payments. Judgment In Default of Appearance
    was entered against all the Defendants in March 2013. Since then, we have taken up
    execution proceedings against some of the Defendants but all our efforts were unsuccessful.
    This is because the Defendants did not have any assets nor the means to pay.
    I attach 2 screen shots of emails exchanged between Mr. Andrew T Y Lim and myself. I
    used Microsoft Paint to black out the parts for the sake of privacy of other parties named in
    the emails.

    Conclusion
    The postings and allegations by Mr. Andrew T Y Lim against me and my legal firm are totally
    baseless and untrue because:2|Page

    (a) there is no incompetency or unprofessionalism as judgments have been obtained in


    both cases and the legal actions were carried out timeously;
    (b) he was fully aware and had in fact expressly informed me that the Defendants in
    both cases have no assets even before the actions were filed;
    (c) Both cases were carried out on an IOU basis and I did not insist on any retainer
    fees before accepting his briefs. Payments made by Mr. Andrew T Y Lim for both
    legal actions to date are barely enough to cover our out of pocket expenses;
    (d) Since the emails dated 3.12.2014 shown above, my firm has not acted for Mr.
    Andrew T Y Lim any further;
    (e) His email dated 3.12.2014 to me shows that the reason he did not pay was due to his
    financial constraints and not due to any mishandling or unprofessionalism on my part
    or that our fees were unreasonable;
    (f) I have never been involved in any money lending business with anyone; and
    (g) I have never lied to Mr. Andrew T Y Lim.
