What we found
In 2018, 37 K Residence unit owners sued KL Landmark in the High Court. They said it failed to set up a joint management body within 12 months of vacant possession (1 July 2008). The JMB was only formed on 15 June 2018, after many warnings from the Commissioner of Buildings.
The same High Court ruling said KL Landmark and City Properties could not use their own failure to call the first AGM, the step that hands building management from developer to JMB, to justify the interim financial arrangements.
The evidence
Regulatory and legal
NegativeOn 3 December 2025 the Kuala Lumpur High Court (Judge Akhtar Tahir) cancelled five 'contra arrangements' made by KL Landmark and landowner City Properties. It ordered them to pay RM72.8 million in maintenance charges and sinking funds owed for 2009–2018, found they had 'blatantly' breached the strata management regime, and held director Yap Wee Keat personally liable.
2 more findings
A three-judge Federal Court panel refused KL Landmark and seven others leave to appeal in their dispute with the K Residence JMB, ordered them to pay RM30,000 in costs, and sent the arrears question back to the High Court.
In a ruling on 22 July, Judge Datuk Ahmad Shahrir Mohd Salleh of the High Court threw out the claims that K Residence parcel owners brought against KL Landmark and the landowner, holding that the parcel owners had no contractual relationship with the directors.
Corporate continuity
NegativeRelated landowner City Properties had obtained a court order on 17 September 2019 against KL Landmark declaring itself the rightful developer and the JMB invalid. The Avenue K JMB and K Residence later got that order set aside, which shows a dispute between related companies over who held the 'developer' role.
One more finding
KL Landmark is wholly owned by Olympia Industries Bhd, where Tan Sri Yap Yong Seong (DutaLand CEO, known as 'Duta Yap') is a director.
