This is a typical case of a poor kampong folk who claimed to be cheated by her own relative of the only piece of land she ever had. What started as a request for help, the plaintiff landowner through the manipulations of her so called saviour was made landless and is crying foul. Whether that is the real plot, is yet to be seen. It all started when the plaintiff landowner who is now deceased, received a notice dated 8.11.1995 from Malayan Banking Berhad demanding a sum of RM1,906.80 being the amount of arrears owing to the bank with a threat of legal action against her. Desperate of losing her land, which is charged to the bank, the plaintiff turned to one Hajjah Che Nen who is her cousin sister for help. Hajjah Che Nen then approached the defendant who is her cousin brother to settle the plaintiff's loan with the bank. The plaintiff agreed to the arrangement and the loan was finally settled by the defendant on behalf of the plaintiff. Both the plaintiff and the defendant together with Hajjah Che Nen went to the bank to settle the matter. This took place in 1995. Subsequently, according to the evidence of SP1, sometime in March or April 1997 the defendant informed the plaintiff that the land has been transferred to his name. Feeling cheated, three years later, the plaintiff lodged a caveat against the said land on 4.1.2000, and took out the present suit against the defendant in March the same year. Enumerated below are the reliefs sought by the plaintiff against the defendant:-
