Because the gambling debts were incurred at a licensed Singapore casino and the Singapore judgments were validly and lawfully obtained, their registration and enforcement in Malaysia are not contrary to Malaysian public policy; therefore REJA s5(1)(a)(v) does not apply and the application to set aside the registrations is dismissed, consistent with binding precedent that a registering court will not re‑examine merits of a foreign judgment.
