RENOVATION CLIENT REQUEST MORE THAN EXPECTED

hello and with respect. I read your situation regarding the client requesting works beyond the quotation (Variation Orders) and the delayed payment. In the Malaysian construction context, you must be very careful about "resigning" (terminating) from a project. If you stop work or walk away without following the specific termination clauses in your contract, the client could sue you for wrongful termination and Liquidated Ascertained Damages (LAD) for delays. Late payment of 7 days is often not enough legal ground to instantly stop work unless your contract explicitly says so. However, you do have rights. You may need to issue a formal notice for the unapproved variation works or consider using the CIPAA Act (Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act) to secure your payment. Since I cannot be there in person, I can assist you by drafting the necessary "Stop Work" or "Termination" notices and advising you on the correct procedure via WhatsApp to ensure you exit this project safely without getting sued.
