Integrated boutique developer Trinity Group Sdn Bhd has taken legal action against Trinity Corp Bhd, formerly known as Talam Corp Bhd, on the grounds of confusion and impact to the former's business arising from Talam's name change.
Trinity Group is seeking an order from the High Court for Trinity Corp, a listed company on Bursa Malaysia, to change its name to one that does not have the word "Trinity" in it.
In a press conference yesterday, managing director Dato’ Neoh Soo Keat clarified that Trinity Group, its associated companies, directors and shareholders are not in any way associated with Trinity Corp or any of its subsidiary companies.
"The Talam debt recovery exercise has caused a lot of confusion among our customers, business partners, shareholders and the public. There have been numerous enquiries urging us to clarify the issue, as many have mistakenly took our company to be Trinity Corp."
Neoh said the issue dates back to Aug 18, 2011 when Talam Corp was renamed Trinity Corp, triggering immediate confusion and impact on Trinity Group's business.
"As a developer, we tried to talk to Talam Corp but there was no solution, so we have to take Trinity Corp to court. We believe the High Court will deliver a fair judgment," Neoh said.
Trinity Group filed the suit with the High Court last November, with the trial heard on May 17 this year. Currently, both parties are awaiting a decision from the High Court that will determine whether the listed company will be allowed to use the name "Trinity'.
"We're taking a legal suit because we want to protect our name. What I need is our name and for the Trinity Group to continue to function well and not confuse the public," Neoh said.
He said even though Trinity Group has clarified its stance in a press conference last November, there is confusion among the public until today. He added that this had impacted sales of its properties, with cancellations by some purchasers.
Trinity Corp has been in the news after MCA Young Professionals Bureau chief Datuk Chua Tee Yong questioned its controversial RM392 million debt settlement with the Selangor government. Trinity Corp has denied that it was bailed out by the state government.

KUALA LUMPUR 12 Julai - Trinity Group Sdn. Bhd. (Trinity Group), iaitu sebuah syarikat pemaju tampil membuat penjelasan bahawa syarikat tersebut tiada kaitan dengan Trinity Corporation Berhad (Trinity Corporation) yang sebelum ini dikenali sebagai Talam Corporation Berhad (Talam).
Pengarah Urusan syarikat berkenaan, Datuk Neoh Soo Keat berkata, pihaknya terpaksa membuat penjelasan itu ekoran timbul kekeliruan masyarakat terutama dalam kalangan pembeli rumah mengaitkan Trinity Group dengan Talam.
''Apa yang mendukacitakan kita akibat daripada kekeliruan itu ada kalangan pembeli bertindak membatalkan proses pembelian rumah masing-masing.
''Ini secara langsung memberi kesan kepada syarikat kami berikutan timbulnya kekeliruan antara Trinity Group dan Trinity Corporation walaupun saya sedaya upaya meyakinkan para pembeli yang syarikat kami ini tidak ada kena mengena dengan Trinity Corporation,'' katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang akhbar di pejabatnya di Bandar Kinrara dekat sini hari ini.
Trinity Group merupakan sebuah syarikat pemaju perumahan yang mempunyai beberapa projek di Seri Kembangan, USJ Melawati, Serdang dan Johor.
Antara projek syarikat tersebut pada masa ini ialah servis apartmen Heron, servis apartmen Zest, projek perumahan Z, projek Zeva@Equine South dan penjualan lot-lot banglo.
Soo Keat berkata, Trinity Group ditubuhkan pada 2004 manakala Talam menukar namanya kepada Trinity Corporation pada tahun 201I.
Jelas beliau lagi, selepas berlaku penukaran nama tersebut, ia turut memberi kesan kepada syarikatnya pada tahun berkenaan.
''Kami kemudian terpaksa membuat satu penjelasan khusus mengenai kedudukan Trinity Group yang tidak ada kaitan dan tidak ada kena mengena dengan Trinity Corporation.
'' Keadaan agak pulih selepas itu, namun ia kembali menjadi keliru setelah timbulnya isu membabitkan Talam sejak akhir-akhir ini,'' katanya lagi.
Mengulas lanjut, Soo Keat berkata, pihaknya telah membawa isu nama Trinity itu ke mahkamah menuntut supaya syarikatnya sahaja boleh menggunakan nama tersebut.
''Kami telah menyaman Trinity Corporation berhubung isu ini dan perbicaraan telah dimulakan pada November 2011. Kami perlu berbuat demikian bagi memastikan nama Trinity ini tidak digunakan oleh pihak lain.
''Perbicaraan telah pun tamat pada Mei lalu dan kita kini di peringkat mendengar keputusan. Saya yakin mahkamah akan membuat keputusan dalam isu ini seadil-adilnya,'' katanya lagi.
Dalam perkembangan berkaitan, beliau berkata, pengumuman mengenai kekeliruan itu pada hari ini bukan kali yang pertama.
''Kami sebelum ini pernah membuat pengumuman yang serupa setelah syarikat Talam menukarkan namanya kepada Trinity Corporation. Namun, tidak sangka pula ia masih timbul kekeliruan.
''Kepada pihak Talam Corporation pula adalah diharapkan mereka juga membuat kenyataan atau sidang akhbar serupa supaya orang ramai tahu dan sedar bahawa syarikat mereka (Trinity Corporation) tiada kena mengena dengan syarikat kami, Trinity Group,'' katanya lagi.
