RIDE SAFE, PLAN AHEAD-SECURE YOUR TOMORROW TODAY

 Salutations to my fellow Malaysians!



Isn't it true that life is unpredictable? One minute, you're eating at your favourite restaurant , and the next thing you know, you're resting on a hospital bed. Scary, huh?











The fact is, we have no influence over what will happen to us, but we do have control over what will occur once we are gone. WILL writing fills the void.


I know what you're thinking right now: "Ugh, WILL writing? That sounds so tedious and dull. But listen to me, people. WILL writing is not only important, but it may also be enjoyable and creative.



Consider it your last farewell to your loved ones. You get to choose who receives what, who looks after your pets, and even who receives your valuable possessions, vintage vinyl record collection. Even better, you can create a touching letter to be read by your loved ones after your passing.



Talking about unpredictable life, it reminds me of a news I read in the Newspapers some time ago which relates to one that  FOOD DELIVERY RIDERS must pay particular care. The Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros) found that 70% of food delivery riders disobey traffic laws while making deliveries. Yikes! yes, this was in the news sometime ago!

"70% of P-hailing riders disobey traffic rules while on delivery runs: MIROS - The Sun Daily"

While working against the clock to bring meals quickly is admirable, it is not acceptable to disregard traffic signals and drive recklessly. This puts not only the bikers in danger but also other road users and the general public who may not be paying attention. Remember folks, road safety is a dish best served hot and fresh, but always with a side of responsibility. 

Hence, it's crucial to think ahead and draft a WILL before anything unfortunate happens. A WILL can give you the freedom to choose who inherits your hard earned money and it also acts as a security to your loved ones who can then be sure that they will inherit your assets. A WILL gives you and your loved one assurance of a better tomorrow which will also save you and/or your family from battling a legal suit. Planning early is a matured and brilliant act, so don't wait until it's too late to ensure that your affairs are in order. Take control of your legacy today by creating a will that reflects your distinctive wishes and values.





So let's take control of our life, Malaysians, and make sure that our loved ones are cared for long after we are gone. It's your last farewell, so write your will with creativity and joy. Additionally, if you transport food, kindly follow all driving laws; we depend on you to bring our favourite foods to us safely.

I merely shared a defamatory statement made by someone else, am i liable for Defamation?

Image
 WELL YES! A republication of a defamatory statement is also considered to be defamatory. In the case of YB Hj Khalid bin Abdul Samad v Datuk Aziz bin Isham & Anor [2012] 7 MLJ 301, the High Court quoted Gatley on Libel and Slander (8th Ed), at p 117 which states that "every republication of a libel is a new libel and each publisher is answerable for his act to the same extent as if the calumny originated with him". Accordingly, every repost or share of a defamatory statement is considered a new publication because those who do so are deemed to have approved, endorsed or repeated the same. This position was reiterated in the recent Court of Appeal case of Raja Syahrir bin Abu Bakar & Anor v Manjeet Singh Dhillon and other appeals [2019] MLJU 75. Therefore please be careful with what you share in social media as this can land you in very expensive litigation.

Time to lawyer up and get your will sorted! What do you need to bring along?

Making a WILL can seem like an uphill task, but it is necessary to make sure that all your assets are properly divided when you pass away in line with your wishes and preferences. Don't be fooled into thinking only the uber-rich or complicated peeps need wills. A WILL is a smart move for everyone! Here's why: Call the shots on who gets what when you're gone. Keep those precious assets away from any undesirables (no offense to Aunt Michelle). Handpick who takes care of your little ones. Don't let the courts decide! Give your heirs a quicker and smoother path to their inheritance (who doesn't like less drama?). Plan ahead to save your estate some cash-money and even do some good in the world with charitable donations. Winning all around!  Well... Many clients have this one question to ask when they call to set an appointment to draw up their WILL. What are the documents and/or information I should bring along for our meeting? Here you go:- 1.      A copy of your IC (I

Unlocking the Legal Potential of Whatsapp: How Chat Messages Hold Weight in Debt Recovery Cases

Image
One question that frequently arises in legal discussions is whether Whatsapp messages can be utilized as evidence in court, even in debt recovery cases. Many individuals mistakenly assume that Whatsapp's informal nature would render its messages inadmissible. However, let me tell you an interesting story that showcases the contrary. Consider a recent debt recovery case, where Mr. Lee was pursuing payment from Mr. Tan, who had borrowed a substantial sum of money. Frustrated with the lack of progress, Mr. Lee decided to turn to Whatsapp messages as evidence of their loan agreement. Now, you might wonder, would these seemingly casual chats hold any weight in a courtroom? The answer is a resounding yes! Allow me to introduce you to the captivating case of Mok Yii Chek v Sovo Sdn Bhd & Ors [2015] MLRHU 196. In this particular legal battle, the High Court shed light on the admissibility of Whatsapp messages in a debt recovery scenario. The court declared that print-outs of emails and
