Additionally, the Singaporean testified that the developer had misrepresented some aspects of the condominium common area by delivering a property with designs different from what were stated in the sales and purchase agreement.
Among the missing items were a rooftop sky gallery, a five-star lift lobby, a landscape design, water features and a railing at the sky garden, he said.
“The estimated costs of the several missing items as indicated by architect Low Ai Ling (engaged by the plaintiffs) is RM53,207,840,” said Mr Soh.
Mr Leonard Yeoh, the lawyer representing Country Garden, argued that Mr Soh was giving “hearsay evidence” to the testimony.
“You should just read whatever is provided (in the report by the quantity surveyor) instead of adding that there is allegedly something missing. The report does not state this,” said the lawyer from Tay and Partners.
The plaintiffs are represented by Ms Viola DeCruz of V L Decruz and Co. The case has been adjourned until Thursday at 11.30am by High Court Judge Noor Hisham Ismail.
According to its Facebook page, Country Garden Danga Bay is an exclusive fully-integrated high-rise residential, commercial and leisure development fronting the Straits of Johor.
Located within Iskandar Malaysia, an economic corridor in southern Johor, it is a project by Chinese developer Country Garden.
