The court preferred the weight of later contemporaneous medical reports showing partial recovery and independence over the plaintiff's oral testimony; strict proof required for special damages resulted in allowance of only documented dialysis payments; accordingly awards were set at RM120,000 for severe head injury, RM22,000 for loss of peripheral vision (not 80% total vision loss), RM4,060 for dialysis (documented receipts) and RM1,000/month for nine months (RM9,000) for caregiver costs, with other large claimed sums rejected for lack of proof.
