Unformalize Inheritance Paper

Its been awhile since my family had any discourse with that relative, no doubt that our relationship was not close since the death of my grandparent. Dispute takes place, misunderstanding filled the bond, the controversial never leaves amongst the 3rd and 4th sibling of my grandparent, the gap keep expanding, peace never come. Yesterday night I got a call from my mum, we had an hour conversation. From the conversation, I get to know that my mum was requested by my uncle to sign an approval for the property to be vested on his hand, since the will wrote by my grandpa was not fully complied with the rules of formalities, which is the topic I just did for my equity and trust class. So as the alternative, the lawyer needs the sibling to approve before the property can be distributed amongst my uncle as the will are no longer valid. The eldest uncle was not in the position on favoring them due to some conflict existed, so I was wondering that whether any alternative approach for solving the issue without having the sign of the siblings. Could the will possibly be validated? Well this morning I've asked Mr. Harmanhinder(our equity lecture) pertaining this issue, and his explanation was alternative choice is not possible, as the law doesn't recognize the will, the only method to persuade the court was the approval through sign by the siblings. But from what my mother has told me, the eldest uncle had inform her that his wife's brother, who is a senior lawyer mention that the 2 uncle was still able to claim for the property without the sign, but the procedure would be tedious. The lawyer graduated from King's College London and had been in collar of being Agung's legal assistant, as an experienced lawyer, definitely he would have know. So I start a bit research on the particular subject, admitted that my level of knowledge was insufficient to attempt acquainted in this respective area of law, I was unable to get any material regarding the above matter. Law on will is regulated under The Distribution Act 1997 which made some amendment out of previous Distribution Act 1958. I couldn't get any relevant reference after the inquiring and searching. Suppose if we're currently in UK position, the 9 Will Act 1837 would be applied, then it would be easy to solve the matter, where fundamentally the will only abide by formalities to take effect. I'll be glad if the matter can be resolve earlier, and the tie could be untangle.

Beginning of New Sem Break

Finally, from all the hectic and exhausted weeks filled with presentation and test, all of this has come to the end, well, for temporary that is. Nevertheless, I'd hereby officially declare the beginning of a new holiday season for August term, cheers! And for the initiation, me, Vincent and Wei Lun went on again to Midvalley GSC to enjoy the recent showing movies G.I.Joe and On His Majesty's Secret Service. we setting out from campus around 12 a.m, then take the KTM about 12:30 a.m. FYI, this is the worse experience I ever had on taking the Komuter. The air conditioner on our segment was not working after the 15 minutes of our trip, the whole compartment was ovenlike, we can feel every single sweat dropping off the chin. And not forgiving that I was wearing one of my favorite tee at that moment. It bother me till I even attempt to get off the Komuter and search for any alternate transportation. Nevertheless I was trained to withstand against heat over working under the sun with my dad. Its peculiar that how relief we are after got out from being "baked". Since it was weekend, so its doubtless on the numbers of people drop over for some shopping and nibbling. As a result, we have to take the unpleasantly long queue for the tickets. The 1st movie we took was On His Majesty's Secret Service, a Cantonese picture acted by Louis Koo. I don't find the movie as humorous as what I expected out from what my friend narrated, its filled with incongruous joke that doesn't make much sense. Follow up by accompany Vincent on his jean's hunt at the ROMP. And at about 5p.m, the movie that I have promised to watch with Uma for the last few days yet I have not perform it, G.I.Joe. I felt sorry for Uma but I was not able to make it that time due to some imperative task to be accomplish. The movie was gratifying, much better if it was to be compare to the 1st movie we took in the day. The action filled picture was marvelous, the movie 1st time caught my attention was during when I was watching transformer 2, through the pre-showing publishing of the advertisement and movie's trailer. And as I awaited, the top of my preference list, was worth for my 12 buck for the weekend. The movie are derived from the toy line and comic which was the origin of G.I.Joe that exist since 1964 as one of the 1st "action figure" after the universal Barbie Doll for girls. The plot was predictable, so I wouldn't be commend much on it. Nevertheless the effect was awesome, with the kungfu fighting and ninja slicing, no wonder that a non-grown up brat like me would stuck on *cackle*. Back of that, we proceed on accompany Vincent to shop for some souvenir for his friend back at his hometown, Sarawak that is. Its amazing how guys could spend on girl's accessories for more than 3 hours, we went every corner of Midvalley to search for most felicitous ornament, from rings to necklaces. Wei Lun and my role was to be the beauty advisor for Vincent who had dilemma in choosing what to gift and who to gift. And finally, he manage to found 2 cunning necklace from Giordano jewellery that cost him more than 100 bucks. That doesn't mean that I myself didn't spend a single cent. I've spot a series of rings come in 3 as a set which cost only about 40 bucks, the ring was neat and I was thinking that it would be a good idea if I bought it for my brothers. Vincent cut out my hesitation by handout a RM50 note. But why bother, it could be a limited ring that I would regret if I missed out. End up I spend the note and put myself in a worse debtor position. I called the them the "Ring of Brotherhood"! sounds pathetic right? Guess its better off I didn't nicknamed it.

Inquest on Teoh's Case

An inquest was held from 29 July to 12 August to investigate the mystery death of Teoh as stated on The Star last week. Teoh Beng Hock, as most of us would be particular, a political secretary of Seri Kembangan assemblyman Ean Yong Hian Wah, that was found death on roof of the five storey building next door to the Plaza Masalam where he was taken to in for questioning by the MACC(Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission) on 16th July at its 14th floor office. The matter of questioning or "interrogation" was over alleged misuse of funds by state executive councillors that merely worth not more than RM2k, and the questioning lasted for 8 hours before Teoh was being discharge and later was found death. Teoh's belonging including his mobile phone was kept away by the MACC before he was discharged even though he was just a witness. That's about all the brief of Teoh's case, now come back to the inquest, I agreed on what Mr. Aru, our tort lecturer told us during the class, that a Royal Commission must be appointed rather than conducting an inquest. Teoh's case, which is classified as "sudden death", would not be solve by merely bringing up the witness for question in the court. The 77 witness including 28 MACC officers are brought in by the police. Not that I was being biased, but many incidents happened on how the police are to be called as corrupted or crooked. The integrity for the cops has diminished. E.g the case of Kugan on early 2009, who died after interrogated in the police custody for car theft. So being rational, the Royal Commission can cover wider scope that are contrast to inquest limitation, this may well include the finding of circumstances surrounding Teoh's death, protocol, standard regulating procedure etc. MACC carried the name as an important institution must be questioned as this may clear their name conjointly. Royal Commission which consist of senior member with expertise are more likely to solve the matter in a highly-accountable and transparent manner. Furthermore, Royal Commission are not governed by the rules of criminal procedure and hence investigation can be done efficiently without intrusion. Lastly by allowing Royal Commission to preside over the matter, the public will be more assured and hence not losing their faith toward MACC. I would strongly exhort that Royal Commission be establish on Teoh's case.

PC Fair

Once more, the annual event where most gadget or IT enthusiast have been waiting for has come into the city, the PIKOM PC fair. The event was held from 31st July to 2nd of August, venue KLCC. While most think that its the most appropriate occasion to look out for gizmo, computer's part and accessories, the reality was otherwise, propaganda on the mark down of the price was just another financial strategy, and what matter concerned by most of the consumer would be the price, but the fact that PC Fair doesn't come with bargaining price, if it was to be compare with Low Yat Plaza, PC Fair is one of the method to clear the old stock available. Nevertheless, I still find the ramble was worth it. It wasn't surprise that nothing was necessary for me to spend on the day, still I've came across some cheap gadget so I've bought myself a new 8GB pendrive and Logitech USB hub which cost me around 100 bucks. I went there along with my hometown old pal Seek Yan, accompanied by his colleague Betty, its been awhile since the last time we have a reunion, and this trip was entirely unplanned, it was a coincidence I bump up to my other friend informing me that Seek Yan is going too. The place was huddled with people and I was infuriated by those boorish fella that doesn't even know how to queue up. The first thing that I take notice of is the booth selling Razer products, the price are equally the same selling in Low Yat Plaza. I was thrilled when I saw the new Dell Alienware M17x, one of the high-end spec laptop that you can find in this country, the laptop cost around around 8,700 to 10,000 bucks depend on the spec. The whole fair was divided into 8 to 10 halls, each section altered by devices and manufacture. First, we enter a chamber where PC guru is located, I got small goodie as a reward by accomplished to answer two simple question of the quiz, a notebook. The main purpose for this little attraction was to obtain the particular of people and consequently promote PC guru. And here comes the hall filled with all the multiplayer online games and of cause, the attractive show girls on the moves *aroused*. We get to take some picture with those chick, and to pay the price, we're asked to register for the particular online game. Then follow by the laptop section, where Seek Yan had a good time inquiring and seeking for the replacement of his lappy since his pre-owned lappy was bestowed to his brother that currently study for matriculation. And lastly, the incentive of Altec Lansing speaker. I get so upset since I can't effort any of it on the ground that I'm still in a debtor position*sob*. Before the leave, we dig ourself into some dessert and carry on with a movie titled "The Proposal", another hilarious picture of the month. And guess what, after that we're late for the KTM and having no alternative way but to share bed with Chen Tat back at Wangsa Maju*grin*.

Huddled Treat Fair

Finally, after the whole 3 weeks of lag and high latency, I have my lappy reformat, thanks to Yong Xiang, I was able to learn and carry out the method proceeding with full installation by my own. So I sort of decide to treat him a meal that night as an acknowledgement. Speaking of treats, its been awhile I never embrace myself in any opportunity on rewarding event. I came across the Maybank Treats Fair held at Midvalley Exhibition Centre located at the top floor of Midvalley, the place was jam-packed with peoples moving in and out. Before actually having entered the exhibition centre, thanks to Xiang influence for the promotion, I was actually being induced to bought a polo tee which cost me hundred buck when I'm in the position of almost being bankrupt*sniff*. But its worth the price with the recent mega sales price. The tee looks nice on me if I could have work out more often. So come back to the Treats Fair, this redemption frenzy was held from 23 to 26, a big opportunities for fellow cardholder to redeem their favorable reward using TreatsPoints. We entered the household property section, then follow by random goods and other product. They also having promotion on skin care, optometric, water refinement etc services. Some cool gadget like robomop are displayed and demonstrated as well. While we're hassle ourself out of the congested pathway, a young lady asked us to choose and pick out a piece of cardboard out of the 5 as some sort of lucky draw, with full of curiosity, I was reluctant, but Yong Xiang feels that its no harm to give it a try. He acquire a 3 days 2 nights trip to Jakarta stated on the card as a voucher, nevertheless, I'm still doubt about that when she mention its FOC, I never believe in any freebies. Xiang exchanged the voucher to local trip since we're both financially deflated. And as I expected, they require us to participate and engross on their talk before we are entitle to the voucher. They are conducting on a survey and giving out a different method of expanding their company's capital, member that acquire share are granted to have an agreed on benefit which is tour for holidays for 8 days per year instead of getting dividend from the company earning, its a redeemable share. Few term or pre-requisite are to be comply before we can buy the share, the share are distributed according to package, for student, the minimum budget require is 11,000 ringgit, while other than student its 21,000. But during that only day they offer us 8,500 ringgit for student package and around 18,000 ringgit for the rest. Don't get the idea wrong, it means that u are entitle to 11,000 ringgit if you bought the share at 8.500 ringgit on the day itself, doesn't that just sound tempting? The company own Taylor International University College, surprisingly they also subsidize themselve to vacation and tour field. Something attract me is that their company had appointed themself trustee company which is under the government regulation, which mean if the company went into liquidation, member will not have to worry about their money went astray as unsecured debt. Our approach to the method was an agreeable one, although they failed to persuaded us to buy any of their share. Nonetheless, as promised, we're still entitled for the 3 days 2 nights trip, still was wondering what have we done to deserve this little honor for the weekend. And guess what, by the next day I realize we do deserve it, its karma.*smirk*
Below are pic of the carnival and voucher:

Farewell My Friend

Dedication to Alexandra
Come to recall it, its been more than half a year Alexandra has been around with us. Her decision to leave for UK for her second year brought bitterness yet worth to cheer by watching her pursuing the same goal on the English region earlier. I was sort of envy on such an acquisition, then again, we are glad to see her attain what she always wanted. We still remember during the 1st day that we ever seen that girl, she was a girl with a curly auburn hair who are not really considerately associated. Her face was dull and plain most of the time. Still that was previously before we actually approach and get to know her. She was a student which had to repeat her study due to her own major personal problem. Nevertheless she did not admit her defeat and persisting on achieving what she urge for. Well her commitment do trigger me to put more effort, she was an estimable person indeed. As the matter of fact she could be very cuddly and chummy if you were close to her. We spend most time having conversation on gossips and experience/aspiration of life, our dialogue can be much profound if I ought to admit. And most of all, we got the common fondness of brandy apparel! Its ridiculous to see a big guy like me could even care for the subject, but to be frank I was much observable of being a shopaholic since I've came to KL this municipal. And she would prefer hanging out with Uma which previously is one of our classmate too. They both got a lot of common interest and passion on assisting our Legal Skill lecturer Harpajan. She had a pleasantly good temper, I shall remember her cool and patience while teaching/guiding us whenever I've accounted some difficulty. Its been nice knowing her, great things happen because there's you around =).

The Farewell Party
Ok back to our good friend Alex, she had decide to do her 2nd year law degree in University of Northumbria, Newcastle, UK and will be taken her flight by next month. So before the adios, she had invited us for a small party at her condominium located just next KLCC, the MARC Residential. Even though its a walking distance to KLCC, but the traffic was terrible when we reached KLCC, but with Chin Hian as the driver, the word lost never came across our head, it just a matter of time before we arrive at the destination. Her sister was around with few of her course mate, and FYI, her sister is a doctor-to-be who is taking her MBBS at Moscow currently, she is doing her 3rd year at the moment, which again makes me feel bad thinking back about my studies. I was initially a science stream student had an ambitious desire of being a doctor myself, guess that doesnt turn out well, still I'm pursuing a professional courses. Back to the party, Alex had arranged a great dinner with barbecue chicken wings, grilled lamb chop, sushi and etc. The food are prepared by the maid while we're hanging around at KLCC mall. Its worth a tease that we just bought her farewell present during that time itself, however, the present bought was one-of-a-kind, its an electronic mini ferris wheel that cost us around 130 buck, picture will be shown at the end of post. Still it seem to be lack of sincerity by buying a gift last minutes*sniggle*. The gathering wasn't last too long, the idea of getting myself buoyant in the pool was unsuccessful due the insufficient time. Just before we heading back, Alex bring out to visit her house. The house was small but complete with most necessary facilities, it cost around 0.6 mil ringgit just for the condo alone unfurnished. For the sake of being able to catch the last KTM back to Nilai, the rest of us have to leave before ten o'clock. Speaking of KTM, I was waiting Bukit Jalil KTM station waiting Yong Xiang to fetch me off to his home, and whats unfortunate is that my message was delayed for half an hour when it was received by Yong Xiang, I was afraid that I have to sleep on the street, but in the end I was being "rescued". So to wind up, the gathering was a memorable moment indeed, we get to spend more time on chitchatting and understand each other more while dining on the delicacy. I personally feel that our class should organize more of this occasion which will makes us feel more treasure thereafter we leave. We shall pray for you Alexandra.
Will be uploading more pic by the weekend, below are some:

A Red Carpet Affair

A very weary yet significant weekend I had been through. On 17th night was an annual prom night held by ACCA/CAT students of the Sunway University College, and thanks to Yong Xiang I was able to get a chance to revel in this affluent little banquet. I was broke for the last few weeks due to the recent Mega Sale, which I've bought some casual tee in a discounted price, at 1st I was not really inspired by this fancy event when I was initially invited by Yong Xiang. But nevertheless its a once in a lifetime chance given. So without further contemplation, I was affirmed.
The ticket cost RM85 which can be regard as cheap since the venue is Sunway Resort which is one of the deluxe hotel in KL. Ok so speaking of this high-class resort, it takes us more than 20 minutes to get a parking slot near Sunway Pyramid. Chin Hian was the driver, and not that I try to boast, but I feel rewarding for my own persuasive skill, he's one of the most hardheaded friend that I have, and it was very wise for me by trying to approach his gf before actually asking him *grin*. Since there was slot available for a couple with just RM100, so I figure that it might be great idea to invite them since the gf, Francoise has long desired for such an extravagant occasion. In advance we went to Sunway Pyramid to let ourself look tidy. Francoise had her hair set, and makeup/foundation provided with fake eyelashes which cost only around RM50. I got my hair washed and dried and cost me 8 buck...I wasn't surprise that the way they set the hair was ordinary. The price was only offered by A Cut Above Academy, not the Saloon. We are serve by most trainee, so in a harsh way, we can say that we're asked to pay for ourself being experimented. The Saloon would cost RM85 for washing and setting the hair alone, and they will provide your very own stylist which they had familiar with your hair and know what style satisfy you. Now go back to the title, the Ball start around 8:30p.m, which late 1 hour from what had stated. Well, no surprise, we're Malaysian. Me and Chin Hian was late if according to the ideal schedule due to the time consumed during the makeup, however we manage to reach before the opening ceremony. I was surprised when I heard the voice of the emcee, it was very much familiar to me back on those day where my life was only radio and cassette. It was JJ from Hitz.fm. I could not recognize his face since my seat was way too far from the stage and nothing was really clear at that moment. Indeed he had what it takes to be a great comedian. What caught my 1st attention was his special giggling, which I find it pathetic yet amusing. The event went on with eight to ten course dinner, I wasn't sure about the amount, but the food is savory, its better compare the last prom I had attended, and the side dishes are as good. The waiters was very friendly and efficient, each plate are replaced after each meal course is served. After this grand event, we proceed to Euphoria Aka Ministry of Sound. It is the only non-smoking club we may find in the KL vicinity, located just beside the Sunway Resort. There is 3 hall in the club, but since its my 1st time, so we stick around in the main hall, where only techno music is put on. We only drinks beer due to the current economic downturn and my soon to be vacant wallet. We went home around 2a.m in the morning and had our slumber after 3a.m. It was exhausting indeed, guess from here I can see my aging progressively, maybe I should have consult a doctor on progeria *chuckle*
