Country Garden Danga Bay condo buyers, including S'porean investors, sue developer for fraud and misrepresentation

The 49 buyers — from Singapore, Malaysia and China — are alleging that units of the developer's luxury condomium in Iskandar Malaysia were not delivered as advertised, one of the Singaporean investors told TODAY.

The sprawling development consists of amenities including a shopping mall, a man-made beach and six yacht berths. The ongoing trial at the Johor Bahru Civil High Court is scheduled for four days — two days in August and another two in September. The class action lawsuit is believed to be the biggest case brought against the Johor developer so far.Country Garden Danga Bay has been embroiled in other court cases in the past.

In a separate case, the Federal Court in May allowed an appeal by the developer to quash a compensatory award given by the Tribunal for Homebuyer Claims to a Singaporean homebuyer, Malaysian news agency Bernama reported. The property developer appealed to the High Court, then the Court of Appeal — both were dismissed. The Federal Court, the highest court of the land, eventually allowed the appeal and ordered Mr Ho to pay RM30,000 in costs.Two Singaporeans who bought units at Country Garden Danga Bay told TODAY that their apartments had several defects when they received them around 2018 and that the condo continues to require extensive repairs because of poor upkeep.
