00:00An international school with several campuses in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor has entered an

00:07appearance to defend a lawsuit brought by a parent who alleges that one of its campuses

00:12was operating illegally. The parent, Nur Hashiba Chae Lee alias Chae Ismail, wants the Sessions

00:19Court to decredit the school's Petaling Jaya campus was operating illegally and that the

00:24directors had knowingly permitted, facilitated, and benefited from the alleged illegal operation.

00:31She wants a refund of the RM65,000 she paid comprising RM60,000 in tuition fees and RM5,000

00:38in security deposit along with compensation for costs incurred to transfer her child to

00:44another school. The plaintiff first enrolled her autistic son at the school's Subang Jaya campus

00:49in 2021 in light of its suitability for children with special needs but later transferred him to

00:55the PJ campus in April 2024 purportedly on the advice of the school's representatives.

01:01However, she began to have concerns about the legitimacy of the school's PJ campus

01:06after observing that it was located in an industrial area with heavy vehicles constantly

01:11passing by and lacked proper signage. Nur Hashiba claimed that both the education ministry and the

01:16Petaling Jaya City Council confirmed the PJ campus was unregistered and operating illegally

01:22on industrial land without the necessary permissions. She alleged that upon confronting

01:28the school and requesting to withdraw her child, they denied that he was ever enrolled there and

01:32refused to provide a full refund of the school fees and deposit. Natasha Bust, FMT.
