  "account": "Hakim Mahkamah Persekutuan, Gopal Sri Ram, passed away in January 2023 without completing a criminal appeal case where he was appointed as the lead lawyer. Malaysia's Federal Court rejected Sri Ram's attempt to quash a lawsuit demanding the repatriation of RM200,000 in unpaid Malaysian government workers' compensation. Justice Alice Loke ruled that Khoo Gee Tat's claim was not clearly unenforceable and should proceed to a full trial based on the merits. Gee Tat appointed Sri Ram as his lead lawyer to represent his son, Adrian Khoo, in the criminal appeal at the Court of Appeal in 2022.",
