What we found
In December 2021 the executive chairman, Tan Sri Desmond Lim Siew Choon, held a 43.33% stake in Malton, and Malton's subsidiary Regal Path Sdn Bhd started talks to sell Pavilion Bukit Jalil Mall to Pavilion REIT.
On 18 April 2023 the Federal Court upheld the Court of Appeal's 2021 order quashing DBKL's 2017 development order for luxury serviced apartments by Malton subsidiary Memang Perkasa Sdn Bhd on Taman Rimba Kiara land. It found the mayor's decision was affected by conflict of interest or bias, because the mayor was a trustee of the landowner and joint-venture partner YWP.
The evidence
Regulatory and legal
NegativeThe Federal Court ordered Memang Perkasa to pay RM70,000 in costs to the residents, and Malton said it was assessing the financial hit from having its 51%-owned unit's project quashed.

How the petition ended is unknown.
