The Award was set aside because the arbitrator disregarded binding Malaysian precedent and misunderstood public policy, introduced unforeseen legal reasoning without giving the parties an opportunity to address those points (breach of natural justice under s20 and s37(2)(b)(ii) AA 2005), and decided issues beyond the scope of the arbitration (excess of jurisdiction), thereby rendering the Award in conflict with the public policy of Malaysia and liable to be set aside under ss 37(1)(a)(iii), 37(1)(b)(ii) and 37(2)(b) of the Arbitration Act 2005.
