What Is a Surat Tuntutan (Letter of Demand)?
A Surat Tuntutan, or Letter of Demand, is a formal written notice requiring the recipient to fulfil an outstanding obligation, typically the payment of a debt or the remedy of a contractual breach. It serves as a final warning before legal proceedings and is often a prerequisite in Malaysian civil litigation. The letter states the amount owed, the basis of the claim, a deadline for compliance, and the consequences of non-payment. Sending a properly drafted LOD demonstrates seriousness, creates a paper trail, and can frequently resolve disputes without the need for court action.
