Hatten Land on Wednesday addressed a claim that its subsidiary was under probe by the Malaysian authorities over its Harbour City development in the Malaysian state of Melaka.
The Singapore-listed developer was responding to a report in China Press, a Chinese-language newspaper in Malaysia, which quoted a Mr Ng Kian Nam making allegations against Gold Mart, the developer of Harbour City.
Mr Ng charged that Gold Mart had not applied for a housing developer licence for the project, and that the authorities had agreed to investigate Gold Mart under Malaysia's Housing Development Act.
In a statement on Facebook, Hatten Land said the allegations had "tarnished the reputation" of its subsidiary and "resulted in unnecessary concern and fear among our contractors and purchasers".
It added that Gold Mart would initiate legal proceedings against Mr Ng for his charges.
Plans for the mixed-use development were unveiled in 2018.
Harbour City, to comprise a mall, theme park and three hotel blocks, is expected to span five million sq ft in built-up area when completed.
