Set against Malaysia’s construction industry, CIPAA: THE DEBT WAR explores what happens when a payment dispute threatens the survival of a contractor. Through the conflict between Perisai Bina and Wibawa Berhad, readers experience the pressure of delayed payments, disputed valuations, evidence, adjudication and enforcement. The novel brings CIPAA to life through its characters, turning legal procedures and construction documents into weapons in a battle where every decision has consequences.
At the same time, the story reveals the human cost of payment disputes. Workers still need to be paid, suppliers still demand settlement, and businesses cannot survive indefinitely without cash flow. Whether you are a contractor, construction professional, legal practitioner or thriller reader, CIPAA: THE DEBT WAR offers a dramatic look at the battle behind construction payment disputes. Because sometimes, the biggest threat to a company is not the amount it is owed. It is how long the company can survive without it.
