Tee Thang Song v. Caltex Oil Malaysia Ltd

[1970] MLJ 68.


B - "The case was decided in the year when you and I weren't even born, yet"


The sarcasm.


It's a good law, still, as affirmed by Justice Gopal Sri Ram...

Indians are simply amazing!

Forgive me for sounding racist. Oppression and prejudice against women in India were way serious than in Malaysia then. But their spirit to go against all odds was nothing less than Malaysians. Much much more, as a matter of fact.

But... I don't have enough cash

Firstly, the sales girl wasn't me..

Me: Can I pay this cardigan using credit/ debit card/ MEPS cash?

Sales Girl: Yes, with at least minimum RM50 purchase. (A stupid breakable rule)

Me: But... I don't have enough cash... and I really really adore this cardigan... please let me use la!!

Sales Girl: OK la, you can use

Me: :->

So, the next time you are on a spend-thrift & are short of cash & are too lazy to queue up for an ATM machine .. just use this trick..

Successful rate: unknown

Dead Men Tell No Lies

There is a time to live and a time to die. If you own some savings in da bank or 1 Malaysia Trust Fund (because you are so damn lucky that the govt granted you 100 units upon uni entrance), have a few hundred bucks of EPF or SOCSO, possess a Myvi or a motorbike under your name, carry a Canon D500 or iPhone4, and hope that those stuffs go to some specific person e.g. your concubine or BF or even BFF upon your sudden leaving of real world - you ought to have a WILL (wasiat) to kuasa the same. At the same time, owning too many wills causes fuss to your loved ones e.g. died leaving 2 wills

Layman: I wished I did not die... sigh~

Fairy: It is very wrong for you to be greedy, you know .. for you have lived for the past 65 years..

Layman: I died leaving 2 wills ... 2 wills are totally different ... sigh~

Fairy: Ok, then the 2nd will is the valid one lor : ) ( as per Re Palmer's Goods)

Layman: The 2nd will was thumb-printed instead of signed wor... sigh~

Fairy: No worries .. Thumb-print is a valid signature : ) ( as per Thiang Kai Goh v. Yee Bee Eng)

Layman : The 2nd will was not made by lawyers ...sigh~

Fairy: Who cares, as long as it is in writing, signed by you, attested by 2 witnesses, when you are sane, and when you are over 18 years old : ) (S5(1) Wills Act 1959)

Layman: I hope I can rest in peace then ... sigh~

Fairy: You could, as long as there is no vitiating factors such as you were mentally-ill (as per Re Ng Toh Pew deceased)

Layman: Sigh~

In short, make sure you scribble something on a piece of paper or on your shoes or purse before you die, as that could be a will too, if you are too stingy to have a will written by a lawyer. : )

Solicitor's Liabilty

Reviewing "Solicitor's Liability [1996] 1 CLJ xlvii by Dr Hussain Abd Rahman Al Amudi", it can be concluded that lawyers in Malaysia enjoy no professional immunity. They can be sued for negligence under law of tort due to contractual obligation. So are solicitors and barristers in the United Kingdom.

The Berlin Wall

It is now 12.10a.m. and I couldn't sleep yet. So, I guess updating my blog could be a wiser move instead of laying on my bed staring into the ceiling.

This picture was taken in the"Ripley's Believe or Not?"warehouse in the heavenly London during my Depressing Trip.

Once, this was a part of the ubiquitous Berlin Wall of German. Since Dr. Ahmad Masum's mentioning about the East German Bodyguard case of the other day,whereby the people who crossed Berlin Wall was authorized to be killed by the Nazi Regime, this picture had never quit popping out from my mind.

It might be a positive sign that I should read more about this wall. Or better still, it could be related to my final examination on Jurisprudence subject. =) Naive me . . .
