KUALA LUMPUR — The High Court was told that RM1.39 million in compensation paid by the Government to Semantan Estate represented an adequate settlement for the matter in dispute.

Counsel presenting the case argued that the sum was commensurate with the circumstances and considerations involved in the transaction. The submission was made during proceedings related to the Duta Enclave development matter, which has been the subject of ongoing legal proceedings.

The compensation figure was discussed as part of broader arguments about the adequacy of payments made in relation to land dealings and development rights. Court documents indicated that the amount had been calculated following detailed assessments of the relevant factors.

The High Court is continuing to hear arguments in the matter as it examines the merits of the compensation arrangement and related contractual obligations between the parties involved.
