The application was dismissed because the claimed MYR34,283.05 did not constitute 'payment of periodical sums' under the statutory definition of a maintenance order but consisted of discretionary, non-periodic expenses incurred unilaterally by the Applicant for which the Respondent was not liable; moreover an attachment of earnings order would be unjust given the Respondent's regular payment of the contractual monthly RM2,000 child maintenance.
