In my opinion, since both of your aunt and uncle intended to bequeath the house entirely to the son, you don’t need to state in their individual wills that each of them only have 50%. You just need to state “All of my shares in the <house> “ in each of the individual will to the son.

As for the residuary clause , you could put the 3 children names and their intended portions.

Q1> Is it always necessary to make a police report if you intend to file a civil lawsuit for defamation?

NOPE. Not necessary for a CIVIL lawsuit.


Q2> How do you draw a line between an opinion and something that is defamatory?

Long story short:

An opinion is general statement expressing one's view.

Nevertheless, an opinion can be a defamatory statement, if the statement portray a bad impression of a person referred to in the public.
Example: statement made, "i think superman is dishonest", and this statement is published or circulated in the public. This tends to portray a bad image of superman, so it may be a defamatory statement.

There are always defences available such as justification and fair comment but it will all depends on the situation.

Is it legal for lawyers in msia to act on contingency basis, ie "pay nothing if lost, but pay me half of award if win"?

i think admin should open new forum for this, then 1 question 1 thread. easier for all.

The question is too vague.

However, without reviewing the entire case, the short answer to your question is

1. it seems too remote to sue the author of the letter

2. lodging a police report is futile unless there exist some criminal element in your allegation with adequate evidence.

boss ada satu pertanyaan. apa tindakan yang boleh diambil jika seseorang meminjam wang dan tidak mahu memulangkan semula keseluruhan jumlah.

contoh, pinjam rm50k tetapi bayar hanya rm10k dalam jumlah yg kecil dan selepas beberapa tahun terus diam dan tidak bayar langsung.

rekod pinjaman hanyalah cek yang dibuka dan tiada sebarang perjanjian tandatangani.

terima kasih.

here's the situation. i hold (relatively) purely no interest of whether these cases may realize or not.

my mom got a 9 acres of land, i family consists of 1 oldest brother, 4 sister below him, and me, the youngest son ( 6 siblings altogether ).

in the event that both our parents are no more, how would the inheritance be handled, assuming no will is made beforehand? which rulings and laws do we follow? who will get how much?

again, its just empty plot of forest lands. i hold no interest over it aside curiosity.

Tindakan yang boleh diambil:

1. Buat laporan polis
- terpulang kepada keadaan kes, sekiranya mempunyai apa-apa elemen penipuan ataupun pecah amanah, polis boleh buka fail dan menyiasat kes.
- kemungkinan besar juga polis tidak akan ambil apa-apa tindakan kerana mereka berpendapat kes ini adalah kes sivil biasa dimana tuntutan boleh dibuat di mahkamah sivil.
- Namun demikian laporan polis boleh dibuat untuk simpanan rekod sendiri dan sebagai bukti apabila kamu buat tuntutan sivil seterusnya.

2. Buat tuntutan sivil
- langkah pertama, dapatkan peguam
- secara umumnya, peguam akan isu surat tuntutan aka LOD
- sekiranya tiada apa-apa jawapan/bayaran, peguam boleh failkan tuntutan di mahkamah
- Prosedurnya di mahkamah seterusnya adalah sangat panjang tetapi peguam akan failkan saman dan sebagainya.

Buat masa sekarang, saya akan cadangkan:
1. dapatkan apa-apa bukti sama ada melalui mesej ke rekod percakapan atau apa-apa yang boleh membuktikan bahawa peminjam hutang duit ataupun dia mengaku hutang sebanyak RM___ tertunggak
2. bincang dengan peminjam untuk tandatangan suatu surat pengakuan (sekiranya boleh )
3. simpan "cheque-bud" yang telah ditunaikan oleh peminjam, penting untuk tuntutan sivil

terima kasih tuan atas nasihat diatas.

Hahaha perhaps he means rape the same person 2 times on 1.1.2017. Perhaps he plans to rape somebody twice on 1.1.2018

speaking of double jeopardy...

Question: how legally Anwar get charged twice after acquitted from the first one, for the SAME case, after the first court session found him not guilty but guilty the second charge?



how did they prove the sodomy (penetration) took place in Anwar case?

LOL at your example,Beruang. You qualified lawyer?

Luckily superman,batman,he-man,spiderman,ultraman (or is autaman?) etc can't sue but their hollywood "owners" might.

macamana laporan polis boleh dianggap sebagai bukti?

I have a legal question. Is it possible to reply to a court notice on your own,without engaging a lawyer? TQ

If u are a non-muslim, assuming the grandparents no longer around, i believe that the land will be equally distributed among the 6 children, under Distribution Act. It means each of the children will get 1/6 of the shares.

However if you are a muslim, Distribution act does not apply, but Hukum Faraid will, which falls under Syariah law.

Saya ada satu soalan.

Pada tahun 2015, semasa memandu kereta, emak saya dilanggar oleh budak sekolah (tiada lesen) dari tepi. Budak sekolah tu nak keluar simpang tapi dia tak nampak kereta emak saya lalu terlajak dan melanggar pintu depan (pintu penumpang depan, belah kiri.) Mak saya terus buat laporan polis di balai polis berdekatan untuk mengelakkan apa apa kejadian yang tak diingini kelak.

Manakala adik saya pula menghantar budak sekolah tu ke klinik dan takde apa apa kecederaan serius pun.

Tapi tahun lepas bulan Oktober ada surat tuntutan dari bapa budak sekolah tersebut yang dihantar melalui syarikat guaman untuk minta tuntutan(mungkin LOD). Jumlah besar tuntutannya adalah bernilai RM500. Emak saya tidak menjawab surat tersebut sebab dia dah tua, biasalah orang kampung.

Lepas tu datang surat untuk naik ke mahkamah berkenaan dengan kes ini.

Soalan saya, apa yang boleh saya lakukan untuk membuktikan yang emak saya tidak bersalah dalam kes ini.

Soalan kedua, adakah saya boleh menyaman kembali bapa budak sekolah tersebut andai kata emak saya terbukti tidak bersalah dalam kes ini.

Sekian, terima kasih.

In Malaysia, we have provision and cases stated that contingency fee agreement/arrangement is illegal . But in practice...

Hmm... DSAI was charged twice for sodomy. If my old memory serves me right *cough*, both charges were under the same section. But it was two separate incidents. Hence there is no double jeopardy issue here. For your information, DSAI was acquitted for the first sodomy case in the Federal Court though. But in the second sodomy case, DSAI was convicted in Federal Court and sentenced to 5 years imprisonment.

For the second sodomy case where DSAI was convicted, the court considered a few issues. Despite the fact that the prosecution witnesses gave evidence that there were no conclusive clinical findings suggestive of penetration to the rectum and no significant defensive wound on the body of the victim, but traces of DNA found (sperm head) inside the victim's anus which matches with the DNA of DSAI.

The prosecution witness further explained that penetration could take place without any injury to the rectum. It could be due to lapse of time prior seeing the docs, or no undue force having been used, or KY Jelly yo.

Macam itu lor

Can a prosecutor's client ('victim') statement alone used as a proof of 'separate incident' actually occurred without any CCTV footage or whatsoever?

Does the judge even aware that human's anus discharge stool/fecal daily efficiently that it's impossible to have anything foreign to be retained in the rectum after many flushing of pass motion? let alone after weeks/months for the examination to detect!

Any sperm that remain inside quickly die and their decomposed remains exit during defecation. Google that. Why the ruling can even defy simple common sense and biology without any proof of penetration?




If you were to be DSAI's defense lawyer, how would you argue differently to win?

DSAI was allegedly conducting "unnatural sex" with Munawar Anees (speechwriter) and Sukma Darmawan Sasmita Atmadja (adopted brother) in 1998.
Both "victims" plead guilty at the first place, then both recanted their confessions later, both claiming that they have been coerced for a confession
DSAI sentenced to 9 year of imprisonment on August 2000 (To be serve consecutively with a 6 years imprisonment due to corruption)

In September 2004, the Federal Court overturned his sodomy conviction.

4 year later, in June 2008, DSAI's aide, Mohammad Saiful, lodged a police report claiming that he had been "forcibly sodomised" by DSAI. (Later change into "homosexual conduct by persuasion"). The first arrest occurs roughly in mid July 2008, where PDRM employ 10 vehicle and two dozen of personnel. DSAI is released later, with bail.

Saiful then swore on the Quran (that he had been fucked by DSAI) in some mosque with the presence of four imams.

Trial began in August 20010, and High court found DSAI not guilty. The prosecution then filed an appeal against DSAI's acquittal. On 7 March 2014, just before Kajang by election, the Court of Appeal overturned the acquittal of DSAI, upholding a government appeal. Later, the court convicted and sentenced DSAI to five years' imprisonment.

On 10 February 2015, the Federal Court re-affirmed the conviction and five-year sentence of DSAI.

DSAI currently incarcerated at Sungai Buloh Prison.
