The matrimonial home, though purchased before formal marriage, was a matrimonial asset because it was acquired and used in contemplation of the marriage, substantially financed and improved through joint efforts and the petitioner's contributions; the petitioner’s oral evidence was credible and outweighed the respondent’s implausible account, entitling her to 40% of the property's current value (MYR1,100,000 = MYR440,000).
