Dr Shanmuganathan v Periasamy [1997] 3 MLJ 61:
We consider it to be a well established general guide to the judicial appreciation of handwriting evidence that where there is a sharp conflict between the direct testimony of a disinterested witness on the one side and that of a handwriting expert on the other as to the genuineness of the execution of a document, then it is a safe course for a court to prefer the direct evidence.
