KUALA LUMPUR: Ho Hup Construction Company Bhd has defaulted on revolving credit facilities totalling RM45.27 million, prompting a legal action by AmBank Islamic Bhd (AIB). In a Bursa Malaysia filing today, the company stated that it received a notice of demand and termination dated May 29, 2025, from Lee & Koh, acting for AIB, regarding the respective credit facilities, on June 4, 2025. It said the outstanding amount represents 13.37 per cent of Ho Hup's net assets of RM338.48 million based on audited results for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2023, and 31.97 per cent of its latest reported net assets of RM141.60 million.
