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. : )
