He was discharged from his bankruptcy with effect from 30 November 2018 through a Certificate of Discharge issued by the Director General of Insolvency ("DGI") under s 33A of the Insolvency Act 1967 ("the Insolvency Act"). He wants the DGI to pay him the monies in his estate in bankruptcy after the DGI had paid the sum of RM277,913.08 to the Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri ("LHDN") being income tax owing by the Plaintiff to the LHDN.
