    Citation
    SITI AJAR MAT ZAIN v CINDY TEOH
    Court
    Malaysian court

    The Court held that multiplicand equals the amount the deceased actually contributed to the parent (not the deceased's last drawn income), allowed deduction of RM135 monthly instalment for the deceased's motorcycle from the adjusted contributory amount, and affirmed that the statutory 16-year multiplier for persons under 30 is not mandatory in parental loss of support claims — the multiplier may be reduced on facts (here ten years used and accepted).
