PUTRAJAYA: A businessman from Sarawak has won his appeal at the Federal Court to set aside a tour agent's counterclaim against him, which sought to recover gambling debts.
In a unanimous decision delivered on Wednesday (Feb 26), the three-judge panel, led by the Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Abdul Rahman Sebli, ruled that gaming and wagering contracts are deemed unlawful and gambling debts are not enforceable under Malaysian law.
