PETALING JAYA : A tudung supplier is suing actress Nur Fazura Sharifuddin and her brother, Ahmad Faiz, for allegedly failing to pay RM4.65 million owed for tudung shipments.
According to the statement of claim, the plaintiff, Obor Holding Sdn Bhd, claims Pink Fate Sdn Bhd, a company owned by Fazura and Faiz, has paid only RM2,680,167.90 for 33 tudung shipments worth a total of RM7,330,197.04.
Fazura, Faiz and Pink Fate are listed as defendants, as well as Fazfit Sdn Bhd, a company owned by the siblings and in which Faiz is a director.
Besides being a shareholder in Pink Fate, Fazura was also a director in the company with her brother until her resignation from the position on Jan 13 this year.
'(Fazura's) resignation from (Pink Fate), demonstrating an apparent lack of concern for the management of (Pink Fate), suggests (Pink Fate) may face liquidation to enable the other defendants to evade liabilities,' read the statement of claim.
Obor Holding claims its representatives first met Faiz in early 2022 at the Fazfit office in Kota Damansara, during which the latter expressed interest in engaging the plaintiff to fulfil a high-volume order for tudungs.
'During the meeting, Fazura was presented by Faiz as his sister who is also a prominent Malaysian celebrity, widely recognised for her established and successful business ventures under her renowned Fazura brand.
'Fazura's reputation as a public figure and entrepreneur was emphasised, portraying her as an influential and trusted individual in the business industry.
'They highlighted her celebrity status as a cornerstone of their financial strength and success, further asserting that their ventures were supported by collaborative projects with government authorities and other prominent business partners,' read the statement of claim.
Utusan Malaysia quoted Obor Holding director Lim Boon Hai as saying his company filed their suit last month after failing to get a satisfactory response from the defendants.
'We have found it hard to claim the money from them since the end of 2023.
'Since the suit was filed, we have received no response from their companies until now. The last time we communicated with Fazura and the company management was at the end of 2024.
'It seems they have no intention of resolving this issue,' he said.
Lim claimed Fazura had given him empty promises, as well as a cheque that bounced in September last year.
'Our company is in dire financial straits as a result of this, forcing us to take these steps to resolve the matter,' he said.
