KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak Consolidated Industries Bhd
’s (SCIB) wholly-owned subsidiary, SCIB Properties Sdn Bhd (SCIBP), has issued a demand for RM19.7mil in repayment from Awana JV Suria Saga Sdn Bhd.
This action follows Awana's failure to fulfil repayment obligations under the Settlement Agreement (SA).
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the industrialised building systems specialist said this development highlights SCIB’s commitment to upholding agreements and recovering the outstanding RM19.7mil in the best interest of the company and its stakeholders.
The counterparty, having failed to meet its repayment obligations under the SA, is now deemed to owe SCIB a total of RM19.7mil, which includes RM18.6mil under the SA 2023, RM490,000 under SA 2024 and RM580,000 as an additional debt assigned from SCIB Industrialised Building System Sdn Bhd.
SCIB said despite repeated reminders and opportunities for compliance, the counterparty has not fulfilled its financial obligations as agreed.
“In light of this breach, SCIB has exercised its contractual rights to terminate the agreement. The company has issued a formal demand for the settlement of the total outstanding sum within 14 days.
“Should the counterparty fail to comply, SCIB will initiate legal proceedings to recover the owed amount, along with all applicable costs and expenses,” it said.
