  "account": "In a Klang court ruling, Aktiv Worldwide Sdn Bhd, Advantage Warehouse Logistics Sdn Bhd, and Westports CFS Sdn Bhd were ordered to pay RM730,000 in damages to Fadzil Aziz Motor Sdn Bhd for negligence in protecting a Range Rover. The vehicle, belonging to Fadzil Aziz Motor, was stolen from a warehouse in Port Klang. Judge Nurul Mardhiah Mohammed Redza found all three companies to be jointly and severally responsible for the negligence and breach of duty. The court ordered the defendants to pay general damages, which will be assessed separately, along with interest at five percent per annum. The vehicle was originally purchased by Fadzil Aziz Motor for £83,000, or approximately RM468,618, in October 2021. It was shipped to Malaysia and stored at Advantage Warehouse Logistics' premises, managed by Westports CFS. The court found that the warehouse doors and perimeter fencing were left unlocked, making it easy for the thieves to enter and steal the vehicle. Additionally, the court noted shortcomings in the warehouse's surveillance and record-keeping. Aktiv Worldwide had appointed Westports CFS to handle the vehicle's storage and safeguarding, making them responsible for ensuring the competence of the warehouse operator.",
