00:00Social media influencer Siew Pui-yi has won a legal victory against her former business

00:08partner Lai Kai-jen after he failed to appear in court.

00:12The Georgetown High Court awarded Siew 4.3 million ringgit, which she claimed Lai, also

00:17known as Mentos, had fraudulently obtained under the guise of settling her tax arrears.

00:22Siew accused Lai of absconding with the funds meant for the Inland Revenue Board, leading

00:27to a travel ban that caused her to miss four events in Australia.

00:31Her lawyer, Kay Mahendran, said the terms of settlement remained confidential per LHDN's

00:36advice and Lai's whereabouts are still unknown.

00:39The judgment in favor of Siew includes the full amount claimed, interest, and legal costs,

00:44with the suit being served at Lai's last known address and advertised in newspapers.

00:49Siew's ordeal began when she was detained at KLIA on December 30, 2023, for unpaid taxes,

00:56claiming the incident had tarnished her reputation.

00:59She had provided Lai with the money in installments, believing he would clear her arrears, only

01:03to find out her tax debt remained unpaid.
