Given the plaintiff's winding up status, lack of evidence it can meet an adverse costs order, and substantial indebtedness, the court exercised its discretion under Order 23 r.1 and s.580A to order security for costs of RM100,000 payable within 21 days to protect the defendant's potential costs; the merits of the defendant's defence were not finally assessed at this interlocutory stage.
