Court accepted Defendant 1's admission of liability for negligent surgical care leading to VVF and related morbidity. Quantum was assessed from medical records, expert evidence and available receipts: general damages for pain and suffering awarded at RM300,000 for the relevant period; aggravated damages rejected for lack of bad faith; specified special damages and expenses proven and allowed. The court reduced speculative or poorly evidenced claims and applied mitigation principles and reasonableness in quantification.
