Ahmad, Ah Chong and Samy wish to start up a new company. They are however confused as

to which type of company to set up. They have a choice of Partnership, Sole-Proprietor and

Corporation. They are unsure of the positive and negative issues that may be attached to each

of these institutions.

Whilst the company was being set up, Ah Chong, left to Japan to purchase a building for

business purpose for the company. In Japan, Ah Chong faced issues that he could not decide

on, with regards to purchasing the building. He calls Ahmad and Samy but is unable to reach

them. He makes a decision out of absolute necessity and purchases the building. Later Ahmad

and Samy dispute this purchase.
