On 09 March I received a message from another woman saying there is a lady who borrowed money from people and said she would pay them when she claimed money from an insurance that allegedly covers my son. I didn’t know anything about that, so I created a post on WhatsApp saying I don’t know anything about those claims and my son was not covered by anyone. Then this woman went and applied for a protection order.

Yes you may have grounds to challenge the arbitration clause, especially if it was not properly brought to your attention.
In Malaysia, arbitration is governed by the Arbitration Act 2005, and while such clauses are generally enforceable, they must be clearly communicated and fairly incorporated into the contract. If the clause was buried in small print or not specifically highlighted, it can be contested on legal grounds.
At this stage, it is important not to respond or agree to arbitration without proper legal assessment, as your initial reply can impact your position.
You can share the contract with us for a formal legal opinion. We will review the clause in detail and advise you on the best course of action, including whether it can be challenged and how to respond strategically.
