Some updates to this :-

1.) FIL made a slight recovery. He can move both hands but remains bedridden. Also seem more communicative but in a foul mood most of the time. He is refusing to do any PT but MIL brings him for TCM treatments. He only keeps calling me "vulture" and nothing else the times I saw him.

2.) FIL communicated to the MIL he doesn't want to die in a nursing home and would rather die at home. MIL tried to bring him home to our house but hit a dead end, instead she moved out of our house and rented a 1-storey terrace house near Tg Malim to be close to one of her sisters and checked him out of the nursing home, she did this without consulting anyone which drew the ire of both her daughters and also the 3 stooges of Team B.

3.) FIL's company that owns the piece of land is being liquidated. Plenty of unpaid creditors including IRB and the land office as well as local council. His 2nd brother is taking care of it and currently at a dead end as someone needs to cough up RM400,000 before the land could transfer, thankfully his brother has taken charge of the company and dealing with the creditors. The land remains part chicken farm, part lorry parking and a small part being used to plant chilli.

4.) SIL has decided she won't be forgiving her father, she decided that much of her life is fucked up because of his bad choices and decisions, she is still somewhat bitter she did not get to be educated overseas because the father squandered all the family wealth. She is also upset that she was made to work for free and essentially wasted much of her prime years doing stuff for the old man and not being paid for it. She isn't on talking terms with her mother either, something to do with her now having a Chindian bf, she does have a thing for mixed race men, he is a nice guy does treat her well but her mother doesn't like him due to race and religion issues. She told the mother she didn't want a share in her condo and to sell it off as she no longer wanted anything that came from her father. She still works for me and mostly lives on site as she feels most safe and secure there.

5.) MIL and wife are also no longer on talking terms. Mainly due to (2.) and some monetary dispute. MIL told wife reason she does not want the father back in our house is because he is a poor man and nothing to leave behind for her, wife told MIL she didn't need or want anything from them as her husband provides her with everything she needs or wants and regrets the years she tried to help them as it proved to be a waste of time and good money. Wife then told MIL to manage her own condo and to stop relying on me to do stuff for her unless she wanted to pay and even if I did not ask for any payment she still needed to pay. The final reason that caused the cold war is MIL found out wife is carrying a boy and a girl, wife told her mother both of them will be named the same way as our son, her mother requested that the boy follow her family name so the father can have his wish come true. Wife told her mother to forget it as it wasn't happening.

6.) Team B was given the option to buy up the house they were living in for RM550,000 well below market value on an as is where is basis, they agreed then they changed their as they believe their father doesn't have a will. They will be disappointed as their father does have a will and everything goes to my MIL. The house remains empty and locked up. None of them have visited the old man either at the nursing home or at his new abode. MIL did tell me before the start of the cold war that she will sell it as it will cost too much money to upkeep.

7.) The girl in Team C was given the option to buy up the condo for RM310,000 and her stepfather counter-offered RM250,000 for it which was accepted on the basis that it would be in her name only. They paid cash for it. She decided she will see her biological father and saw him once at the nursing home then decided never to see him again, when I asked why she simply said she only had bad vibes from him and preferred to not know who he is and said she did not want to have anything further to do with him. Money was given to MIL who is using it to take care of FIL. MIL did repay every single sen to the old lady from Team B and did say she'd like to see the old man but he is too far away and none of her children are willing to take her.

8.) Wife decided she will forgive her father and move on from the incidences that happened over the last 12 years because of him. She went to visit him before he was moved out of the nursing home unfortunately he did not want to see her and she left because he started losing his head. She hasn't gone back again as the pregnancy is starting to wear her down and she doesn't want to do any far away trips. Myself, I've long decided to forgive and forget, also during the last 12 years though for the most part he was an asshole with a profiligacy problem he did help me along the way, he introduced several contacts and sent some businesses my way, many of which I earned fairly good money off, then he also introduced me to several politicians and civil servants that proved to be very profitable and finally he also introduced me to one circle of new friends who ganged up to speculate on property as well as stocks, these are people that were influential enough that before a project was launched they could go select all the nice units or the entire block if that was what we wanted. Oh those contacts lead me to a very unusual addiction and obsession, which was money and making more money. However the more money I made the less willing I became to share it, in the beginning when I made RM10,000 from one of his contacts I'd take RM4,000 to save it and give the wife RM6,000 and would tell her to give some to her parents, I would even tell her if I knew they were a bit tight to give them everything as next month more money will come to us. However when my share of the profits started reaching RM50-100,000 I started finding it difficult to part with RM1,000 and stopped telling the wife how much I made off those deals, till today am quite surprised despite how much money in my bank accounts we were having couple fights over money at that time. I guess in hindsight I should be thankful to all of them and their money troubles, I was about to do one of my largest ever speculative purchase, I was going to go all in with that group to do a syndicated purchase of an entire block, wife said she knew how much money I been making off her father's contacts and it was time to pay tribute by rescuing their house, she made it very clear either buy up that house or if they lose it she was bringing both her parents to live in our house. In the end I bought up their house and it meant not being able to go through with the syndicated whole block purchase, that whole exercise proved to be a blessing in disguise because when the project had a VP auction units were showing up cheaper than the launching price and you could now fetch one up to 1/3 off the launch price, I'd be in deep shit now had I gone ahead. I guess in a way I should be thankful he created all the wars over the last 12 years especially the major war this time last year as without that war my wife and me won't be together today and our eldest probably won't be studying at the school she is today.

9.) Wife and SIL are on good terms. They both decided to bury the hatchet and move on from the past. They both decided to get their mother to manage the condo herself as they didn't want to have anything to do with it, told her if she can't manage it then to sell it off.

10.) MIL and me are not talking to each other. MIL disagreed that she needed wife's permission to speak to me and said I shouldn't have spoilt her till she is the way she is now. She views it that I'm only on wife's side and won't listen to any other side. Oh well, I told her I don't want to be like her husband and I am in a position where I need to act in her best interests first.

OK.... am trying to get an idea on this situation.

Basically my MIL wants a divorce and she has made up her mind that it is what she wants to do as she finds her husband becoming more and more unreasonable. I told my wife we should adopt a non-intervention, non-intermeddling and strict neutrality policy which she understands but somewhat disagrees.

Her husband used to be a very wealthy man but is essentially broke right now through his own doing.

During their better times they bought a condo for RM550,000 and today it is worth around RM1,100,000 thereabouts though in this market she'd be lucky to get RM900,000 for it considering the condition. He paid the entire price for it and on the title it only has her name on it. They are now living in that condo as it is their last property.

She wants to sell the condo to her 2 daughters for RM600,000 and upon the disbursement she would park that RM600,000 into a joint account in both their names.

After the divorce they are to return that RM600,000 to her less any expenses and her plan is she will put 1/3 the money into the mortgage upfront then will pay them RM700 per month as "rental" or she will buy it back from them for RM600,000 and all fees borne by her.

Daughter 1 aka Mrs BillCollector : No income and "leaches off" her darling husband not that he minds. 
Daughter 2 : Earns RM4,000 nett per month. RM0 in commitments. Only thing is she has only been working for 7 months in a job that pays her KWSP and issues a payslip.

Therefore am guessing most likely I will need to sign as a guarantor as the loan will be repaid jointly by the 2 sisters.

Any idea if this type of arrangements are legal? Any implications? Sounds fraudulent to me.
*
Just take note that just because ONLY her name is on the title doesn't mean the Husband cannot protest/stop the "sale" to her two daughters (assuming your SILs).

It's quite unclear, but I assume that your MIL wants to sell the condo so that she does not need to split with her husband, at least, she THINKS that would work, am I correct?

Your assumption is correct.

However she said her plan is she wants to sell the condo first and only upon completion of the transfer she would start filing for divorce.

I explained it above.

She hasn't really made up her mind what she would do after the divorce.

She will only give the RM200,000 if she decides to live in the condo, she has not decided if she would.

The associated fees will still be cheaper than losing part of the condo to her husband and then needing to buy it back from him at full market value.

Not illegal per se. But your MIL's husband may have a claim for equitable interest/ownership.

Try double check; if the man can prove that he's been paying for the unit despite its titled is under the wife's name, can he undo the sale or claim back from whoever it's being sold?

In other words, rightful owner might be the one that's paying instead of the one with the title on it.

You are right to not get involved.

The whole plan reeks of deceit and any competent divorce lawyer would tear her plans to shred in a single petition. When the shit hits the fan, (and likely it will since its the husbands last remaining property so there is a certain motivation to protect it), just don't be anywhere near it.

It's a deceitful plan by your MIL to screw her husband out of his 50% share of the condo in a divorce settlement. Don't be a party to it and advise your wife to distance herself from it. She will feel bad about helping to defraud her father and it will destroy her relationship with her father. Her father will be left homeless and penniless and is she ok with that? What has her father done to deserve it? If she helps her greedy mother strip her father of his last property she will have no peace of mind.

What is the reason for the divorce? To kick him out of the condo even though he paid for it? What kind of woman treats her husband this way? Accept his largess in good times but kick him out when he is down? I can't believe TS is thinking of helping this evil woman who is out to destroy her husband when he has been so good to her by he putting a property he paid for in her name.

Don't do it TS and advise your wife not to do it. Karma will come knocking.

Hope I am wrong ....

If the divorce is not over 'the other one' what other reason can make a woman to take this plan. I am sure no women is happy to share their husband. Is either me or that one.

She does not have a good relationship with the father anyway.

Difficult to knock any sense into her head over this.

I was hoping to avoid going into too much detail.

It goes along the lines of this, he has a 1st wife whom he has 3 daughters with. Then there is my MIL whom he has 2 daughters with and there is a mistress who he has a daughter with but never kept in touch or at least not that we know off. He did provide the 1st wife with a house (a 4 bedroom DSL) when they divorced. All of them live there together with the husband of the youngest daughter.

From my understanding the chronology of events are :-
-2 months ago youngest daughter with the 1st wife announced her pregnancy (3 months pregnant) and carrying a boy.

-She told the father her husband had agreed to allow the boy to use her family name.

-She told the father the house was in bad shape and no one had the cash to fix the house, supposedly needs RM200,000 worth of repairs. Also the husband had lost his job 7 months prior to the announcement and at 47 was finding it difficult to find another job therefore had resorted to doing Grab but only made enough to pay for the car and not much else. She asked him for RM100,000 as they had debts and the debts were causing her a lot of stress which in turn was causing her blood pressure to go up that might cause problems for the baby.

-FIL suggested to the MIL they should sell the condo. She told him no as she had decided the condo would go to her 2 daughters.

-FIL then suggested to the MIL she should put the youngest daughter's name on the title that way they could take a loan to using the SIL's name to renovate the condo (which incidentally is in bad shape also) and also to pay off some debts. MIL agreed in principle as she thought it was to the tune of RM100,000 or so.

-FIL approached my SIL, told her of his and her mother's plans but the loan amount was RM400,000 so she told her father she would ask her friend who deals with mortgages on this matter. He also told her about the pregnancy. She called me to seek advice as she also wants to buy a condo of her own. I told her no condo in Desa Parkcity was so old that it needed RM400,000 to fix let alone the one that they are living in.

-I told my wife (on the basis of "I tell you a secret okay but you must promise not to tell anyone else basis") about what my SIL told me. She and the sister weren't on talking terms at that time.

-Wife called up the mother, asked what's going on why are they loading the younger sister with RM400,000 in debts. She demanded to know what tricks they were up to and how were they planning to repay the RM400,000. The mother said she did not know and will look into the matter.

-MIL told her husband she didn't want to put only 1 daughters name on the title and said if want to do must put both and she did not want to ask them to borrow money for them.

-(Claimed) FIL been losing his head and constantly quarrelling with the MIL over the past month and threatened to slap her if she did not agree.

-MIL somehow checked her husband's phone and found the messages about his daughter asking him for RM300,000 and deduced the reason he wanted RM400,000 from the condo was for that reason.

-MIL then asked the 2 daughters for a meeting told them what was happening and her decision as well as their suggestions and yes I somehow got roped into the meeting laugh.gif

That's good to hear. God bless you.
_______

To be fair, your FIL has half share of the condo = about RM400k, divorce or no divorce. If your MIL proceeds with the divorce and does not give him his half share, he can sue in court and put a caveat on the condo = cannot be mortgaged or sold until the court case is settled.

Since your FIL is bent on paying his youngest daughter from his 1st wife RM300k for the birth-name-right of her 5-month old foetus/baby-boy, the condo should be publicly sold and the proceeds divided equally between your FIL and MIL, divorce or no divorce. Your FIL and MIL should then decide where and how they will live after the sale of the condo, whether divorced or not divorced. Eg if not divorced, they can buy a RM200k apartment and live off the RM300k in FD.

IOW, best for you and your wife to not involve yourselves with your FIL's and MIL's financial and family problems. Both of you should not covet for such inheritance from them = more like inheriting their problems.
....... Remember, both your FIL and MIL are your enemies = you shuld hate your enemy, not love/help your enemy. Why help them financially by paying for the mortgage of their condo so that they can have lots of money to splurge around.? They may later turn around, trample on you and tear/bite you to pieces like wild dogs and pigs.

P S - Your name is BillCollector, not BillPayer. smile.gif

P P S - Any proof that the foetus/baby is a boy.?

COURT'S POWER TO DIVIDE MATRIMONIAL ASSETS

Section 76 of the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 ("Act") empowers the Malaysian court, when granting a decree of divorce or judicial separation, to order the division between the parties of any assets acquired during the marriage.

In this regard, a distinction is drawn between those assets acquired by the joint efforts of both husband and wife and those acquired by the sole effort of one spouse.

Division of jointly acquired assets

The principles governing jointly acquired assets are set out in sections 76(1) and 76(2) of the Act, where the court is directed to incline towards equality of division, having regard to:

    the extent of the contributions made by each party in money, property or work towards the acquiring of the assets;
    any debts owing by either party which were contracted for their joint benefit; and
    the needs of minor children, if any, of the marriage.

Division of assets acquired by the sole effort of one spouse

On the other hand, sections 76(3) and 76(4) deal with solely acquired assets and the factors to be taken into consideration are:

    the extent of the contributions made by the party who did not acquire the assets to the welfare of the family by looking after the home or by caring for the family; and
    the needs of the minor children, if any, of the marriage.

Subject to the above considerations, the court may divide the assets or the sale proceeds in such proportions as it thinks reasonable but in any case the acquirer shall get a greater proportion.

WHAT CONSTITUTES MATRIMONIAL ASSETS?

For parties who are getting a divorce or contemplating one, it is pertinent to know just what kind of property will be classified as matrimonial property and thus subjected to division upon divorce. The Act is silent on what constitutes matrimonial assets but from a study of case law, the following have been held to comprise matrimonial assets:

    The matrimonial home and everything put into it by either spouse to be used jointly and severally for the benefit of the family as a whole;
    All landed properties acquired during the marriage apart from the matrimonial home;
    Cars, cash in bank accounts, jewellery, shares in companies including the family business(es) and even club memberships if acquired during the marriage;
    Contributions made to the Employees' Provident Fund during the marriage;
    Insurance policies, gratuity payments, employment and retirement benefits accumulated during the marriage by either or both spouse(s);
    Assets owned by one party before the marriage, provided that such assets have been "substantially improved" by the other party during the marriage or by their joint efforts (section 76(5) of the Act);
    Gifts from one spouse to the other, especially gifts of substantive value.

RM200,000 isn't to repair a house, it's major house renovation at a time when her husband is jobless? Why can't people just say what they really want the money for instead of inventing unbelievable reasons?

QUOTE(BillCollector @ Oct 28 2019, 10:29 PM)
-MIL somehow checked her husband's phone and found the messages about his daughter asking him for RM300,000 and deduced the reason he wanted RM400,000 from the condo was for that reason.

Assuming the FIL is successful with getting a RM400,000 loan in his daughter's name who is going to pay the loan? If she pays the loan is the RM1 million condo really going to be sold to her for RM400K?

i read the whole story, and ahha, i know know whats TS's FIL is thinking.

TS FIL actually wants a son, thats why he marry twice and gets a mistress, but no luck, all girls. rays of hope come through when his first wife last daughter is pregnant (its possible a lie that its a boy, to get 300k from TS FIL).

TS FIL must be thinking, no son nvm, at least got grandson!!!

That plan by the FIL is already void.

AFAIK, TS's MIL is very angry with the FIL or her husband and now has her own plan. So, she now wants to sell the condo to her 2 daughters for RM600k without letting the FIL know = each daughter gets a RM300k bank mortgage. TS (= SIL) will have to be the guarantor for one of the daughters = his wife and pay the monthly instalments for the RM300k mortgage.
....... After MIL gets hold of the RM600k, she will then divorce the FIL or her husband and likely move elsewhere alone. FIL will not get a single sen out of the RM600k sale of the condo.

This plan by MIL is against the Divorce Law of Malaysia, unfair and against good morals/ethics = the FIL can easily block the sale of the condo to the 2 daughters and/or freeze the MIL's bank account containing RM600k by suing his wife or MIL in court.

The sale of the condo to the 2 daughters cannot proceed if TS refuses to stand as guarantor for his wife = daughter of MIL.

Of course, the MIL can also sell the condo to the open public but this would alert the FIL earlier = straight to court or maybe chop chop.

Best solution is to sell the condo to the open public for about RM800k = RM400k for FIL and RM400k for MIL. What they want to do with their money will be up to them, eg FIL will most certainly give RM300k to his youngest daughter from his 1st wife in return for the birth-name-right of the 5 month old boy-foetus. Whether they want to divorce or not will be up to them. How and where they live will be up to them.
....... Like they say, "we reap what we sow".

That's good to hear. God bless you.
_______

To be fair, your FIL has half share of the condo = about RM400k, divorce or no divorce. If your MIL proceeds with the divorce and does not give him his half share, he can sue in court and put a caveat on the condo = cannot be mortgaged or sold until the court case is settled.

Since your FIL is bent on paying his youngest daughter from his 1st wife RM300k for the birth-name-right of her 5-month old foetus/baby-boy, the condo should be publicly sold and the proceeds divided equally between your FIL and MIL, divorce or no divorce. Your FIL and MIL should then decide where and how they will live after the sale of the condo, whether divorced or not divorced. Eg if not divorced, they can buy a RM200k apartment and live off the RM300k in FD.

IOW, best for you and your wife to not involve yourselves with your FIL's and MIL's financial and family problems. Both of you should not covet for such inheritance from them = more like inheriting their problems.
....... Remember, both your FIL and MIL are your enemies = you shuld hate your enemy, not love/help your enemy. Why help them financially  by paying for the mortgage of their condo so that they can have lots of money to splurge around.? They may later turn around, trample on  you and tear/bite you to pieces like wild dogs and pigs.

I do not know what proof was given to him that it is indeed a boy. My wife, my SIL and me aren't in contact with them. MIL doesn't approve of us knowing or having anything to do with them.

Billcollectors eventually have to pay bills also, no one is ever exempt from bills.

Unfortunately there isn't much I could say I told my wife please don't get involved as eventually it will backfire. She said it is her duty to help her mother.

Don't dream, the MIL will never accept the idea of living in a RM200,000 apartment. This one essentially used her looks to get into that circle of wealthy men. She used to be a model in the late 70s. Maybe I should help her out more too because my wife gets most of the good looks from the mother laugh.gif

Ask your MIL if the house was a gift to her for marrying your FIL? Tell the court then if it goes that far.

Wedding ring FIL wants to take back, ok lor if that can helps.

Its a bit more complicated than that.

During his better days when he was doing well because of real estate development, he did some funny tricks to pay less tax by essentially moving money from left to right pocket. Basically from his company, he transferred it to several shell companies whose sole shareholder was the MIL and did so on the basis of "buying consultancy services", later on the money was combined into 1 shell company to buy 2 condos for investment. 5 years ago she closed down the company and transferred 1 of the condos to herself while the other one she sold to settle debts. No one knows what those "consultancy service" entails but there you go.

Wedding ring? That together with close to 100 pieces of jewellery he sold them off. The only ones that remain?? The ones given to her by her mother and grandmother because she had given it to my wife and my wife asked me to lock it up at my safe deposit box at a bank.

To be honest, I do believe they are using the baby to get more money out of the father else they know he won't give them anything else.

I thought I would never say this, but I have seen this kind of situation before, because my father was in a similar situation last time.

What I would advise is, you should side with your wife and help her through with her mother's plan. You already know how she feels about this (i.e. it is her duty). You are married to your wife after all, and your MIL's plan does make more sense. Ideally, it would be wise not to get involved, but if you choose to do so, know that your wife will remember this and she will blame you in the future for not giving her the support she needed at this time.

From what you have described, I would stay far away from your FIL and his first wife's kids. They sound like leeches. Sooner or later, he might even come asking you for $$.

Lastly, I wish you the best in your relationships biggrin.gif

Meet any Commissioner of Oath to help you simplify the terms & he will sign, then the paper become legal.

The problem will be more complex if your FIL suddenly pass away. All the family tree will attack each other and it is not good for the long run.

So TS, make a draft first. If you wanna be neutral, stay out of it and suggest they meet third party/professional. If you wanna involve, but pandai-pandai, later you got yourself into deeper shithole.

TS's FIL divorced the 1st wife and then legally married the 2nd wife = TS's MIL, who is the mother of his wife. TS's wife is MIL's 1st daughter.

So, the 2nd wife or TS's MIL is the legal wife.

FIL did not legally marry his mistress = not a legal wife.

FIL wanted to cheat his wife/MIL of RM300k by secretly getting his 2nd daughter to obtain a RM400k mortgage on the condo. The RM300k was to pay the youngest daughter of his divorced 1st wife for the birth-name-right of her 5 month old boy-foetus.
....... No money still wanna spend RM300k just for a surname.

When MIL found out about the cheating by FIL, she went ballistic and vengeful, and wanted to cheat back her husband/FIL of his half share(= RM300k) in the condo by secretly selling it to her 2 daughters for RM600k and then divorcing him after getting hold of the RM600k. If FIL sues MIL in court, she will most likely lose.
....... Why can't she just sell the condo, split the proceeds with her husband and then file for divorce.?

These 2 old folks are both immoral/unethical sinners or evildoers or law-breakers.

TS should not touch these 2 old desperate folks, even with a 10 foot pole, wrt their financial and relationship problems. Furthermore, they had done great harm/offense to TS and his 2 kids, eg nearly destroyed his marriage and family.
....... If TS's wife wants to help her mother/MIL to take revenge against her husband/FIL, TS should only give moral support to his wife, eg do not stand as a bank guarantor for his wife if she wants to get a mortgage for her mother's condo.

After this /k-drama has ended, TS and his wife should ensure that both FIL and MIL do not starve to death or be homeless because that would make TS's wife very very sad/griefed/guilty. Of course, this does not mean eating lobster and caviar everyday and living in a luxury condo. Most people will choose an apartment over being homeless.
....... Giving long life to your parents will give you long life as well = the law of ni4ni.

P S - Legally, FIL can also divorce his wife/MIL and then get his half share of the condo(= about RM400k) through the Divorce Court, eg if his divorced 1st wife and 3 daughters are willing to take him in.

What was the outcome to that situation?? Father gave in??

I feel somewhat torn on this issue, one side of me feels this is something I should stay far far away from, another part of me feels it is unfair on the MIL to accept something along this lines and another part of me feels it is partly his property too.

In the end it feels that I have no choice but to stand behind my wife as I have to respect her wishes.

....... If TS's wife wants to help her mother/MIL to take revenge against her husband/FIL, TS should only give moral support to his wife, eg do not stand as a bank guarantor for his wife if she wants to get a mortgage for her mother's condo.

After this /k-drama has ended, TS and his wife should ensure that both FIL and MIL do not starve to death or be homeless because that would make TS's wife very very sad/griefed/guilty. Of course, this does not mean eating lobster and caviar everyday and living in a luxury condo. Most people will choose an apartment over being homeless.
....... Giving long life to your parents will give you long life as well = the law of ni4ni.
.
.
P S - Legally, FIL can also divorce his wife/MIL and then get his half share of the condo(= about RM400k) through the Divorce Court.
*
At this moment wife is extremely angry at the father as she views the entire episode as a betrayal. She told me she views it no differently than me borrowing or taking her money to help another woman. She couldn't care less if the father was homeless or starving. Same goes for the SIL and MIL.

As for why can't split? Well when one thinks that property belongs to her and her husband wants to use it to help offspring from another woman, I think naturally there are some emotions that will go on.

As for why no money still willing to pay that type of money for a surname?? This is something that beats me too.

Nice, calling your own wife a leecher biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Don't sign as a guarantor unless you really know the risks and implications of the situation.

laugh.gif She openly admits to leeching and she doesn't view it as anything amiss since she is married to me.... in fact she does take my money = her money very seriously.

Anyway we had decided not to go the route of needing guarantors.

ok that's great.

cus who know later other lady or other children come and challenge the decision. If FIL or anyone involve in this matter have Black and White, a lot of things can be saved (from conflict)

Anyway a quick update to this.

After discussing their options with a lawyer.

MIL decided to do the following :-

i) Transfer the condo to both her daughters and will remove her name off the title.
ii) She will move out from that condo.
iii) She will get the 2 daughters to take care of her finances using rental from that condo.
iv) She will initiate divorce proceedings upon settling into a new rented house.

If true, your wife can choose to divorce you and take half of everything you own but not everything you own. In this case, the MIL wants to take everything her husband/FIL owns and then divorce him = leaving him penniless and homeless. This is not fair and just to the FIL, even though he has wronged his wife/MIL.
....... Like they say, "Hell has no fury like a woman scorned".

Well, most Chinese believe in ancestor worship and patriarchy, ie a dead ghost can only receive worship and food/money offerings from his/her sons and grandsons with the same surname, eg during Ching Ming. In this way, the spiritually powerful dead ancestors/ghosts will bless the living descendants and get to eat and spend loads of money in the nether world.
....... So, your FIL is likely worried about a destitute afterlife = willing to cheat RM300k of his wife's condo-money which condo he might think rightfully belongs fully to him.

This /k-drama may end up with the FIL still getting his half share of the condo(= about RM400k) and moving in with the 1st wife and 3 daughters. Something for your MIL and wife to consider.

P S - Even if your MIL wins and your FIL loses and ends up penniless and homeless, he may decide to burn down the condo and/or chop2 his wife/MIL and himself before that happens.

What was the outcome to that situation?? Father gave in??

I feel somewhat torn on this issue, one side of me feels this is something I should stay far far away from, another part of me feels it is unfair on the MIL to accept something along this lines and another part of me feels it is partly his property too.

My father gave in and did many things to help his relatives (who had really massive debts and also leeching off people) at the expense of his own family. He would spend time/effort/money on them instead of spending time with his own family. My father had the means to help, but my mum wanted nothing to do with it, and felt that my father was really trying too hard to please everyone (especially people who were being leeches). You know the saying, "blood is thicker than water". She never forgot this.

I know your situation is quite different, but the same principles apply. Stay far away from leeches (your FIL and relatives), and side with the people closest to you. You are married to your wife, after all.

Like I said before, if your FIL even gets a hint of your MIL's shenanigans, he will likely file for divorce first, ie before the transfer of the condo to your MIL's 2 daughters, and seek his half share of the condo in Divorce/Family Court.
....... If so, imagine the WW3 erupting in the condo between your FIL and MIL = your MIL may move into your house to seek refuge, eg from being slapped by your FIL.

Even if your FIL is dungu enough to not know anything about your MIL's shenanigans and not retaliate legally with his own lawyer, he can refuse to move out from the condo for some months and may do something even worse to the condo = condo cannot be rented out. What can your wife do in response, in such a case.? Get the police to arrest him.?
....... You and your wife could end up paying out-of-pocket to house your MIL for some months or maybe even forever or until she dies.

Remember, civil lawyers are only useful in cases between civil people. In this case, by the emotional(= non-rational) decision of your MIL to fleece her husband/FIL out of his half share in the condo, the problem between your FIL and MIL can descend into being uncivilized and barbaric. How would you feel if someone cheated you out of RM400k or all your money and assets after your retirement.?
.
.

P S - Your FIL was wrong first. But he did not cheat your MIL out of her half share in the condo. He only used the condo title to sneakily raise RM100k + RM300k to buy the birth-name-right from you-know-who. Afaik, the RM400k was to be mortgage-financed by the 2nd daughter, likely as her future sole inheritance of the condo when both FIL and MIL later pass on since her name would be added to the condo title. Your wife could have been left with no or only one-quarter condo inheritance. If your FIL's plan had gone through, both your FIL and MIL continue to live in the condo like before.
....... This is the difference between the wrong of your FIL and the wrong of your MIL. It's like the MIL taking the life of the FIL for hurting her eye = not the law of ni4ni. The local police and courts do not execute robbers and rapists, only murderers, drug-pushers, etc.

I don't understand the rationale for this.

1. Condo is in MIL's name. She calls the shots. Why transfer to her two daughters to fend off FIL's demand for cash from the condo?
2. MIL expects her daughters to be able to evict their father mercilessly and effectively even if it renders him homeless and penniless?
3. If FIL refuse to move where is the money for MIL's upkeep going to come from?

To me it looks like MIL is unable to fend off FIL's demand and is passing to her daughters to handle the old man. They may not be better than her. Alternatively she does not want to be the 'bad guy', she wants to pass that role to her daughters.

As for getting him out, currently MIL has some knee issues and can't walk far. We are renting a single storey house paid 50:50 by both daughters and both of them will get moved to the rented house. Once he is out, locks will be changed and will get a contractor to start hacking to make the place inhabitable.

Once he is out of there and transfer complete, he will be told mortgage only for RM120,000 and will be told no money to give him as must pay stamp duty and legal fees plus the renovations needed to rent it out. If he doesn't put up a fuss MIL will just let him be, if he does then she will tell him the house they are staying in their 2 daughters rented for her so he has to get out.

The whole problem is caused by the FIL's daughter from 1st wife wanting to sell a surname for RM300,000 when he has no money and no spare property.

Cheating FIL and moving him out of the condo by deceit will create a lot of problems when he cannot get the money he expects. To think he will not to make a fuss is unrealistic. There will probably be war and unintended consequences.

To avoid bigger problems later tell FIL in no uncertain terms that mortgaging the condo to raise money for his 1st wife's daughter is NO-NO. No need to hide. Tell him they know what he wants the money for.

He will make a fuss but that's about it. The condo is in MIL's name so nothing much he can do. But giving him high hopes and then dashing it may have serious consequences.

And tell that daughter to take her offer and shaft it!

Your MIL's plan is in effect cheating your FIL out of his half share in the condo(= about RM400k) for the lesser "crime" of wanting to buy the birth-name-right from XYZ with his half share of the condo. He did not intend to go back to the 1st wife and leave your MIL penniless and homeless if she made a fuss.

If he makes a fuss in the rented SST house, which he will very likely do, your MIL's group of "gangsters", including yourself, will throw him out of the house, leaving him penniless and homeless. Your FIL's 1st wife will likely not take him in since he is then penniless.
....... Your FIL may then sue your MIL for divorce and his half share in the condo in Family/Divorce Court.

Even if he won't or couldn't sue in court and die soon after, penniless and homeless, your MIL and her group of "gangsters", including yourself and your wife = accessories or abettors to a "crime"/evil-deed/sin/law-breaking, will have to face the consequences of your "crime" from the heavens or God, eg will be struck with cancer, calamities, etc. Be warned.

I am not biased for your FIL. I am just looking at the issue for fairness and justice = your angry and betrayed MIL should just sell the condo, give him his half share and divorce him, ... or should just accept her lousy husband's shenanigans, stop his RM300k dealings and suffer his threats or slaps. Why string him along, cheat him out of his half share in the condo and divorce him or kick him out if he makes a fuss about being strung along and cheated.?
....... It's very clear that local Divorce/Family Law says that what your MIL and her "gangsters" are planning to do is wrong or against the law. The judge would pronounce all of you guilty and redress this wrong against your FIL. So will the Judge in heaven.
.
.
.
P S - Like I said before, when your FIL finally finds out he has been strung along and cheated out of his half share in the condo which he had paid for with his own money, he may lose his mind and go the chop-chop route when making a fuss in the rented SST house, ie murder-suicide. Can you and your wife handle such a /k-drama ending.?

Your FIL may also want to chop-chop you into pieces since you are the "mastermind" or financial sponsor/backer of your MIL's devious plan. Beware.!, your wife may be taking you go Holland(= oh lan) or go sell salted duck eggs(= all will go die).

As for getting him out, currently MIL has some knee issues and can't walk far. We are renting a single storey house paid 50:50 by both daughters and both of them will get moved to the rented house. Once he is out, locks will be changed and will get a contractor to start hacking to make the place inhabitable.

Once he is out of there and transfer complete, he will be told mortgage only for RM120,000 and will be told no money to give him as must pay stamp duty and legal fees plus the renovations needed to rent it out. If he doesn't put up a fuss MIL will just let him be, if he does then she will tell him the house they are staying in their 2 daughters rented for her so he has to get out. If he don't want to get out then we will find her another house and let him deal with the landlord.

As you put it earlier hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
1) She doesn't want any part of the condo to go to him in an event of a contested divorce.

2) At this moment the 3 women couldn't care less if that's what happens to him as they view it that he has betrayed them and they are basically fed up with him.

3) MIL's upkeep is mostly through the 2 daughters giving her RM500 each every month. If she loses the condo then she will live with the 2nd daughter I guess?
Doubt my father would agree to that biggrin.gif
*
Don't expect a good outcome from this.

1) Disappointed FIL will become psychologically and physically abusive in rented house so MIL moves out.
2) FIL is unable to pay rent so is evicted by landlord and homeless. 1st wife will not take him in.
3) FIL gets locksmith to open condo and moves back in. No choice or he will have to live on the streets. If there is a tenant FIL will set him running.
4) FIL harrass daughters who are the new condo owners to sell condo and give him half as his share.
5) MIL is unable to get upkeep from condo rental so daughters face financial strain.
6) Finally to resolve the impasse condo is sold and FIL gets half.

So in the end the result will still be the same after a lot of pain to all parties. What MIL should do is to tell FIL "NO" to mortgaging the condo for finance. Situation remains as it is. If FIL cannot accept sell the condo and give him 50%. Deception isn't the way.

MIL giving 50% or all to FIL is not an issue if uses it for his business and to plough it back to the family later after getting his returns. All sensible wife will die together with the husband but will not die with him because of another woman.

But taking the 50% and pass some of it to buy a surname ? What happens when all money gone? When someone can come up with this reason for money, there will be many more b4 FIL is milked dry. Otherwise scammers wont have good time. If the pregnant daughter knew what the father wants, husband and wife can do it voluntary. If the husband disagreed, a mil dollar cannot even make him change his mind.

Status quo and things will be less complicated. As stated earlier, 1 slap to keep the house, why not?

By the way, me no talk heaven to frighten people.

If after you retired, you are in a similar situation as your FIL , eg you "love" your young 30 yo mistress more than your old wrinkly 60 yo wife(= will look like your MIL today), and your wife does the same thing to you, ie take heartless revenge on you by leaving you penniless and homeless, do you think that is right, fair and just to you.?

Don't say it is impossible for this to happen to you because Malaysia and Thailand have powerful bomohs = black magic powers. I have witnessed and heard of old wrinkly wives doing something similar to their womanising husband.

MIL and FIL are in a loveless marriage and on the point of divorce. If it comes to divorce the proper thing for MIL to do is to give back to FIL 50% of the matrimonial home. What he does with his money is none of her business. MIL should not try to deprive FIL of his share when it is the only asset which will keep him from being penniless and homeless.

For men who keep minor wife/mistress karma usually comes calling in old age. When children are grown up legal wife will leave him and minor wife/mistress will not accept him when he cannot serve as an ATM anymore. He also loses the respect of his children and he will be alone in old age. This is what happened to TS's FIL except that 1st wife is the "mistress" and 2nd wife is the legal wife.

There is no proper thing in a divorce esp if it involves money. If things is that straight forward, couples dont need to go to court to fight it out, even in cases it does not involve a third party.

To MIL, if FIL can win the case, she have to give but not without giving up a fight. Some people wont mind fighting a legal battle even the winning is slim. Why should I hand the money to you on a silver plate? Go to court and claim what is yours. By the time FIL wins the case, the child is oredi few years old. Can change surname then? or work out an IOU with the daughter?

In a divorce case, always engage a lawyer with a heart made of steel, no feelings and want your opponent dead!

The Q is ...

Do the plaintiff have the financial means to take it up right to the Federal court? Otherwise, take my offer for out of court settlement. Is cruel you may say, but that that none my business. Wait for god's punishment, but that is later. What is important is NOW.

Ref case ... TS Khoo KP with former Ms Msia whom she have few children with him.

Division of properties between divorced couples is quite straightforward. There is no long court fight necessary. Either one of two options will happen:

1. The couple work out between themselves on the division of assets.

2. If they cannot come to an agreement it is left to the judge to decide on how to split when granting the divorce. The judge may decide 50-50 but not always. The party which has done the most to acquire the asset is likely to get a bigger share.

Not less horny but balanced horniness between couples. Too many marriages where one partner wants it more than the other (not always the man) while the other partner thinks it is no big deal and causing frustration and unhappiness to the other.

If your FIL has connections to Ah Longs(= real BillCollectors) or Chinese Secret Society gangsters, who hate unfilial sons and daughters/sons-in-law who make their father become penniless and homeless(= against Chinese culture or Confucianism), not even the police will be able to save you and your wife = you may become like char-siew. Please don't be too cocky and proud. Be warned 2.0.

Well here's an update :-

-Last Wednesday SIL + MIL left for Bali for a break. Wife and me followed on Thursday. MIL told FIL their children had sponsored her to go for holiday and gave him RM70 to settle his meals. While in Bali she sent him plenty of photos of her having a jolly good time.

-While we were in Bali, the daughter that was expecting gave birth to a pre-term baby. He messaged the SIL and told her about what had happened and he would need to help with settling some of the expenses and he would appreciate it if she could give him any savings she had. She replied to him she can't give him all of it to which he told her even with father must be so calculative. She then told him to not ask her to choose between the mum and him. She told us what had happened, MIL said 1sen also cannot give him.

-He messaged the SIL and asked her to help him ask the elder sister for money, said if between both of them they could give him RM20,000 he won't ask them for money again. SIL asked me what to do, I told her I don't get involved in their family matters but asked her to ask him why he needed that much money as the delivery was in a MoH hospital and would be FOC mostly and better if he could itemize it. Told her it would be easier to convince her sister. She tried, the father said want to give then give, don't ask so many questions. I informed the wife on what the SIL told me, wife said no discussions on this matter and stood with the mum that 1sen also cannot give.

-SIL+MIL returned on Sunday, they found the condo devoid of everything. Basically anything and everything movable had been removed. Only thing remaining were a mattress on the floor, her clothes, some tupperwares and some useless junk here and there. Everything else was gone, even some of the lights and ceiling fans were gone and all the laminate floor boards were gone too. They found a letter at the kitchen stating he had moved out, said he didn't want to be around people that didn't want him around. Stated that he had moved to his 1st (ex)wife's house as they wanted him and took him in unconditionally.

-Wife and me returned from our trip. MIL + SIL came to our house to update us. Said he did not take any of her personal belongings. Only thing he took was the TV and the registration card of the Nissan Xtrail that is in her name. I told her just a TV only just let it be as it is a 7 year old TV and we would buy her a new TV. The Xtrail, it was parked as the gearbox is junk. The keys to the Xtrail was still in the condo. She said she wanted her TV returned to her as the TV belonged to her as she won it at a lucky draw. Also she wanted the registration card for that Xtrail, I told her no need to bother as the car can't be used and it is very easy to get a replacement. Told her most likely it was just a mistake and am sure he would return it if properly asked. She said she wanted it returned without asking.

-SIL called the father, he said got anything to say and dare to say then come to the house he is living at else don't bother.

-I told them to let it be, SIL agreed with me but wife and MIL said then we must go. Going after dinner.

Giving him RM20,000 is not going to be the end of it. This is like a gambler saying settle my debts and I will never gamble again.

Now that FIL is out of the condo MIL has one big headache solved. But better change the lock. If first wife kicks him out he will be back.

Just forget about the TV and the car registration card. If she wants the card go to JPJ and print out another one. I think he took the card to hold it for ransom but nowadays the car registration card isn't worth anything.

Yes quite unexpected that they took him in especially as it does appear that they aren't exactly well off.

He also told the MIL he wanted a divorce and he has already taken what he wanted to take and from now on he didn't want to speak to her or her 2 daughters again. Told her good luck in her life as no one will take care of her from then onward.

He said he did not take the registration card. Just found it, turns out it is in my safe at the bank.

Yes we changed the locks, he returned the key and access cards which we told the management to cancel access in case it had been cloned.

Well at the end of it I told my wife to give him RM5,000 and told him to use it to treat the issues with his knees, he threw the money back at her saying he didn't want any money from them.

TV? He admitted to taking it but said he had given it as a gift to his 1st(ex)wife. Told the MIL if she wanted it back to go get it herself as he was done doing things for her. I told my MIL to let it be we will buy her a new and better TV. She is still sulking that she did not get back her TV.

The coming divorce will likely mean your FIL will get back at least a half share of the condo since it is still in your MIL's name, and not in her 2 daughter's name.

If so, things would have been better if your MIL had agreed willingly to give her husband/your-FIL his rightful and legal half share from the sale of the condo for him to buy the birth-name-right from Team B for RM300k = her marriage would have been saved by the sacrifice of some money.
....... Like the Chinese saying, "marry chicken, follow chicken; marry dog, follow dog." If don't follow, no more marriage.

Btw, where is your MIL staying.? Can she take care of herself alone.? What about her physical condition 5 or 10 years down the road.?

Things do not look too bright for your MIL and her Team A.

RM5000 too little for him? It's his loss.

I have a feeling 1st (ex) wife took him in only due to the prospect of what he will get in a divorce settlement. Smart woman. He stands to gain half the condo value unless MIL can do some magic tricks.

MIL will be happy with a smart TV which can connect to wi-fi for viewing Youtube and Netflix.

MIL lives with us. I was the one that told her to pack her bags and come live with us till we sort things out for her. She is in good nick of health.

It is unlikely the FIL would file for divorce anytime soon. Unlikely he has the financial means for any legal battles. Title of the condo is in the midst of being transferred. Should be done in the next 2 weeks.

Our lawyer had some interesting pieces of news, it turns out the house he is living at now is under his name and his name alone and he been owning that house for the last 30 years. Also discovered was he does own a condo as well and he bought it 18 years ago. MIL believes the condo was the one he bought for his mistress but according to the PI our lawyer sent the condo was a student ghetto. Caveats were immediately placed on both. A quick check on iProperty revealed the house he is staying at is worth RM850,000 probably less due to the condition and that condo should be worth around RM600,000 thereabout must check what is the size and condition.

I have a feeling 1st (ex) wife took him in only due to the prospect of what he will get in a divorce settlement. Smart woman. He stands to gain half the condo value unless MIL can do some magic tricks.

MIL will be happy with a smart TV which can connect to wi-fi for viewing Youtube and Netflix.

He wanted RM25,000 for a knee replacement and said he wasn't interested in the gel injections that I had offered to send him to get done.

We haven't bought her a tv yet since she is now living with us.

Looks like things are not turning out as planned, for your MIL and her Team A.

Your FIL has his Team B.

He is a boy.

Yes quite unexpected that they took him in especially as it does appear that they aren't exactly well off.

He also told the MIL he wanted a divorce and he has already taken what he wanted to take and from now on he didn't want to speak to her or her 2 daughters again. Told her good luck in her life as no one will take care of her from then onward.
He said he did not take the registration card. Just found it, turns out it is in my safe at the bank.

Yes we changed the locks, he returned the key and access cards which we told the management to cancel access in case it had been cloned. 

Well at the end of it I told my wife to give him RM5,000 and told him to use it to treat the issues with his knees, he threw the money back at her saying he didn't want any money from them.

TV? He admitted to taking it but said he had given it as a gift to his 1st(ex)wife. Told the MIL if she wanted it back to go get it herself as he was done doing things for her. I told my MIL to let it be we will buy her a new and better TV. She is still sulking that she did not get back her TV.

Like the Malay saying goes, "Manusia boleh merancang tapi Allah yang menentukan."

Since you are a Christian and your family has attended Church before, let me say that if things end unfavorably and not to your MIL's planning, it likely means God was not very pleased with your MIL and her planning, eg she was willing to go to the extent of divorcing and leaving her husband/your-FIL homeless and penniless if he makes a fuss about being cheated of his fair and legal half share in the condo.
....... As per ROMANS.1:18 - 2:12, God also rules over the Greek or Gentile unbelievers even if they do not acknowledge Him wrt pouring His wrath upon all willful/intentional/purposeful sinners/evildoers/law-breakers = those who put in meticulous planning in the commission of their sins.

MIL lives with us. I was the one that told her to pack her bags and come live with us till we sort things out for her. She is in good nick of health.

It is unlikely the FIL would file for divorce anytime soon. Unlikely he has the financial means for any legal battles. Title of the condo is in the midst of being transferred. Should be done in the next 2 weeks.

Our lawyer had some interesting pieces of news, it turns out the house he is living at now is under his name and his name alone and he been owning that house for the last 30 years. Also discovered was he does own a condo as well and he bought it 18 years ago. MIL believes the condo was the one he bought for his mistress but according to the PI our lawyer sent the condo was a student ghetto. Caveats were immediately placed on both. A quick check on iProperty revealed the house he is staying at is worth RM850,000 probably less due to the condition and that condo should be worth around RM600,000 thereabout must check what is the size and condition.

Legally, right now(= before being divorced), your FIL and MIL are legal husband and wife. By legal definition, their matrimonial home is the condo that your MIL and FIL were recently living in.

The 1st wife and mistress are not your FIL's legal wife = the properties occupied or rented by the 1st wife and mistress are legally not the matrimonial home of your FIL and MIL, even though the properties may be in his name.

Like I said before, transferring the condo title to her/your-MIL's 2 daughters will likely have no legal effect during the Divorce Court case. This will be quite a complicated case for the judge of the Family/Divorce Court to decide. I still think your FIL has a better case in divorce court.
....... Of course, as the court case drags on, the divorce lawyers would be laughing all the way to the bank at these 2 silly old folks and their Team A and Team B.

Please keep us updated on the divorce court case.

They do believe if he is kicked out that he would probably go back to the 1st wife's house.

Yup they are into ancestor worship which I think may have something to do with why he is so gung-ho on a child bearing his family name.

Haha... my wife only thinks everything of mine belongs to her. No such thing as half as she like the MIL they believe if they don't own everything of his then another woman can own it too.
Well as repugnant as it is a situation I will definitely have to stand behind her instead of staying neutral.

I would imagine the situation with your father must have opened up some deep raw wounds, hope it has healed by now.
You sure do feel strongly for him smile.gif

Anyway just so you know MIL did tell him she was putting the 2 daughters' names on the title of the condo and only after that they would look into getting a mortgage on it. What she did not tell him was that she is removing her name off the deed as well.

He was agreeable to it and is still under the impression he will be getting his money.

As for getting him out, currently MIL has some knee issues and can't walk far.We are renting a single storey house paid 50:50 by both daughters and both of them will get moved to the rented house. Once he is out, locks will be changed and will get a contractor to start hacking to make the place inhabitable.

Once he is out of there and transfer complete, he will be told mortgage only for RM120,000 and will be told no money to give him as must pay stamp duty and legal fees plus the renovations needed to rent it out. If he doesn't put up a fuss MIL will just let him be, if he does then she will tell him the house they are staying in their 2 daughters rented for her so he has to get out. If he don't want to get out then we will find her another house and let him deal with the landlord.

As you put it earlier hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
1) She doesn't want any part of the condo to go to him in an event of a contested divorce.

2) At this moment the 3 women couldn't care less if that's what happens to him as they view it that he has betrayed them and they are basically fed up with him.

3) MIL's upkeep is mostly through the 2 daughters giving her RM500 each every month. If she loses the condo then she will live with the 2nd daughter I guess?
Doubt my father would agree to that biggrin.gif

All it took was some coaxing, then an appointment with a certain pro at KLSMC, 4 hours and my wallet being RM5,000 lighter. Inclusive of a MRI, fluid and residual drain and gel injection.

When your FIL was rich, he gifted a house to his 1st wife and a condo to his mistress. Then he left them behind or "divorced" them and legally married your MIL. Even though the mentioned properties are under his name, they do not rightfully belong to him. So, your FIL is now not rich in assets.

Your FIL had bought the condo with his own money (not with your MIL's money) and the condo ended up as their last matrimonial home, even though the condo title is under your MIL's name. Your FIL putting the condo title under your MIL's name is like appointing someone as your representative, proxy, power-of-attorney, executor, agent, etc.
....... Your FIL feels he has the right to take cash out from the condo for him to buy the birth-surname-right from his daughter from Team B, eg by "selling" or "bequeathing" it to his daughter from Team A for a RM400k mortgage, ie RM300k to buy the birth-surname-right and RM100k to renovate the condo.

To your FIL, the birth-surname-right is very important. Didn't your FIL and your wife had a big fight with you over the birth-surname-right of your son which eventually led to your divorce 5 years ago.?

In that case, please keep us updated on the negotiations for the out-of-court settlement in your FIL vs MIL divorce court case.

My suggestion is a 70:30 division from the sale of the condo, with 70% going to your MIL since her financial needs for retirement and singlehood will be greater and your FIL no longer needs RM300k to buy the birth-surname-right from his Team B. This should be a win-win settlement/agreement.

Your FIL can still raise cash by selling his 1st-wife's house and downgrading to a lesser matrimonial house or apartment.

Any chance for a reconciliation between your MIL and FIL.?

Good day.

Reconciliation between him and her?? Not a chance. She said she gave him enough chances and she won't put up with that kind of disloyalty and infidelity again. Also abandonment the day he moved to the ex-wife's house. I can understand how she feels.

The house? He won't be allowed to sell it as he made a deal with his ex-wife to put her name on the title in exchange for her life savings to pay off the MIL. Also does appear he has some "face" issues living in a house at a "lesser" neighborhood.

70:30?? Not a chance. My wife and me have decided MIL will live with us. Wife said as the eldest daughter she is duty-bound to look after her mum. She won't have much financial needs as we will take care of her. FIL said unlike the 2 ungrateful daughters he has with the MIL, his 3 daughters with the ex-wife has agreed to take care of him unconditionally and will look after all his financial needs.

Earlier I went with him to take a look at the condo. It turns out it was a smaller unit than we had thought. Worth around RM520,000 though unlikely to sell at that price in its current state, said it was being rented out by his former mistress who uses it to fund the daughter. Claims he tried to sell it for RM500,000 2 years ago but had no takers. He said in the event it sells he does need to give that daughter some of the money as she is just only finishing her A Levels.

We sat to negotiate. He said he wanted a FAST divorce and by fast he meant before year end or by latest before the eve of CNY. Said he wanted to be rid of the bitch and devil by then as he couldn't tolerate all 3 of them. He did not want it to go to court and said because he was offering an out of court settlement that means he wasn't contributing towards any legal fees we had incurred. He said he was willing to offer RM130,000 to walkaway, she keeps her condo, she doesn't make any further claims on him and doesn't ask him for any alimony. I told him it needs to be closer to 50% and MIL is under the impression that condo has a value of RM630,000 and she was banking of at least RM300,000. He said he could not raise that type of money. I told him to think like how my MIL would think, he has known her inside out for more than 40 years, he should know her character extremely well. He asked if we could agree that the condo was worth RM480,000 to which I agreed. He offered a RM210,000 and said it is how much his ex-wife was willing to loan him and that was her entire lifetime savings.

I told MIL, she said better to get rid of the useless man while he still had some money to give and asked me to agree to it. I told him MIL agreed to his settlement and he asked me to get our lawyer to sort it out ASAP and to express it. Told me he was going to put a big notice in the newspaper that he is disowning the 2 daughters. I told him he better save the money for his new grandson and to not burn any bridges till it is beyond repair. I asked him when he planned to pay as MIL won't sign anything till she is paid. He said he would pay our lawyer the full amount tomorrow and she can touch it after everything is finalized.

He was in fairly good spirits over the whole thing, a far cry from the angry man he was on Thursday. He said it was difficult not to feel like he been cheated 40 years and she never gave him a son yet want to steal so much of his money. Asked him what were his plans for the future, he said he had no plans.

MIL was mostly quiet when I told her the outcome. However she said after putting up with his emotional abuses for 40 years she was ready to move on. She asked me to get her Nissan X-Trail repaired and then to sell it. She then said the condo also must be sold. She said other than her 2 daughters, she didn't anything that she had together with him. Said she will buy a cheaper car and when the condo sells, she would co-buy 2 properties with her 2 daughters.

It's a deceitful plan by your MIL to screw her husband out of his 50% share of the condo in a divorce settlement. Don't be a party to it and advise your wife to distance herself from it. She will feel bad about helping to defraud her father and it will destroy her relationship with her father. Her father will be left homeless and penniless and is she ok with that? What has her father done to deserve it? If she helps her greedy mother strip her father of his last property she will have no peace of mind.

Your MIL got a good out-of-court divorce settlement from her "generous" and legally-ignorant(wrt divorce laws) ex-husband/your-ex-FIL, ie get to keep the condo and RM210k cash payout = the end of this /k drama.

Will your MIL be truly happy that she has won the condo but "lost" her husband to the 1st-wife.?

Will you be happy living with your MIL.?

Since you are a Christian, do you know why Sarah and Abraham were barren or infertile.? = because Abraham ignorantly married his half-sister, Sarah = barrenness was a curse from God for his sin of incest.

So, the reason why your FIL and his 3 "wives" could not bear any son is likely along a similar kind of sin, eg maybe your FIL or his forefather was a playboy during his heyday as a rich young bachelor, ie he played out many gullible and naive girls and left them broken-hearted = the curse of God for his sin was to bear only daughters and see them being played out by evil/bad boys = the law of ni4ni.

1COR.11:30-32 (NKJV) = 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

ROMANS.7:7 = 7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law.

Good day.

It isn't the first time she is living with us. Also this isn't the first time we were dealing with a divorce between him and her only difference was in previous times she willingly went back to him and it was mostly a cold war. There was a time both her and the SIL also came to live with us as she wanted out of the marriage. Either it was monetary issues or the existence of another woman. I used to view it as an extra free maid and used to order her around to cook all the stuff wife liked and enjoyed eating, favorite among which was to buy bird's nest with feathers still attached to it and get her to pluck the feathers away biggrin.gif She actually isn't a bad or unreasonable person unless you get on her wrong side.

Myself? My wife wants her, our children are happy their grandma has come to live with them and I'm happy if they are happy. I've known it for a long time that someday it would come to it that this could happen or it could be a case that both her parents came to live with us.

MIL is not happy her husband left her for the 1st wife. Previously it was always the case my wife and SIL told their mother let the father be and if he wanted the condo they were living in then let him take it too. This time round all 3 of them were all out to rip him apart because that other woman was the 1 woman MIL said he must never go near. However they are happy to get something and she is equally happy it won't drag on.

He knew what was in it for him I suppose? He wasn't ignorant he knew all along what he stood to lose. He paid the entire amount today to the lawyer and went to the lawyer's office to sign on all the papers.

Oh well he only has himself to blame for not having any sons. Was very curious how come they did not have a string of children since he was so eager for a son, turns out MIL used to tell him to come home as it was her "time" he would come home 2 or 3 in the morning drunk and would tell her no women was allowed to tell him what to do.

So, the reason why your FIL and his 3 "wives" could not bear any son is likely along a similar kind of sin, eg maybe your FIL or his forefather was a playboy during his heyday as a rich young bachelor, ie he played out many gullible and naive girls and left them broken-hearted  = the curse of God for his sin was to bear only daughters and see them being played out by evil/bad boys = the law of ni4ni.

Going by this logic I won't be having any children because just before she was pregnant with our 1st I was playing with one German girl. In fact if she did not get pregnant I would have gone for that German.

For our 2nd, was secretly playing with one Aussie woman. I was secretly planning my exit strategy then, was going to leave her to be with that Aussie.

The difference is that you, even though a sexually immoral person, likely did not leave the German and Aussie girls broken-hearted because since the 1960s, Western societies in USA and Europe have become very morally decadent or hedonist(eg free casual sex, sex orgies and wife-swapping) with the abolishing of laws against adultery, fornication, divorce, abortion and sodomy by the vote-pandering White liberals.
....... IOW, since the 1960s, most Western girls and boys are into open relationship before marriage, like test-driving "new" used-cars every few months. Not so for most Eastern societies.

In comparison, most Eastern societies were still quite conservative in the 1970s and 1980s during the heydays of your FIL when he was still a rich young bachelor = he likely needed to falsely promise marriage to trick gullible Malaysian amoi/s into bed, who usually happened to be virgins = got conned, deflowered and later dumped by your FIL = broken-hearted amoi/s.
....... Until today, Malay/Muslim and South Korean societies are still very conservative wrt boy-girl relationship, dating, sex and marriage.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adultery#United_States
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy_la...e_United_States

The principle behind the law of ni4ni wrt sins/evil-deeds/law-breaking is about the harm/hurt/offense done to the other party.

LEV.24:19-23 = 19 ‘If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him— 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him. 21 And whoever kills an animal shall restore it; but whoever kills a man shall be put to death. 22 You shall have the same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the Lord your God.’ ”

23 Then Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they took outside the camp him who had cursed, and stoned him with stones. So the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.

Yes, agree. This is proven by the 1st wife agreeing to loan her ex-husband/BillCollector's ex-FIL her life savings of RM210k to divorce BillCollector's MIL, so that she can get back with him = her 1st love.

Traditional marriage during those days are considered legal. Nevermind, this aside, 1st wife left him whether legally or otherwise.

Which women, whether legal or otherwise can share a husband ? The minute one finds out, the exit plan will start.

I think FIL left 1st wife for the 2nd wife and not the other way around. If 1st wife had left him she wouldn't be taking him back now and giving him her life savings.

We sat to negotiate. He said he wanted a FAST divorce and by fast he meant before year end or by latest before the eve of CNY. Said he wanted to be rid of the bitch and devil by then as he couldn't tolerate all 3 of them. He did not want it to go to court and said because he was offering an out of court settlement that means he wasn't contributing towards any legal fees we had incurred. He said he was willing to offer RM130,000 to walkaway, she keeps her condo, she doesn't make any further claims on him and doesn't ask him for any alimony. I told him it needs to be closer to 50% and MIL is under the impression that condo has a value of RM630,000 and she was banking of at least RM300,000. He said he could not raise that type of money. I told him to think like how my MIL would think, he has known her inside out for more than 40 years, he should know her character extremely well. He asked if we could agree that the condo was worth RM480,000 to which I agreed. He offered a RM210,000 and said it is how much his ex-wife was willing to loan him and that was her entire lifetime savings. 

*
FIL is entitled to 50% of the value of the condo which was their matrimonial home. Wouldn't that more than offset the 50% MIL is entitled to for the smaller condo? So FIL is paying when he does not need to. He didn't have a lawyer to advise him.

MIL should not take FIL's money which came from 1st wife's savings. She has forgotten all that her ex-husband has done for her and is out to take him to the cleaners. She has also poisoned her daughters against their own father. Cold, heartless and vindictive. Not a good role model for her daughters.

As said earlier, this is a small matter and it revolve around 1st wife family only. If FIL had handled it well, this mess would not have come up.

He should have stuck with her but as they say hindsight is always 20/20.

Unfortunately the real mistake in his life was his chauvinism and ego. That's the real reason why all his businesses and family fortune has since gone with the wind. Own daughter intelligent enough to have a LL.B Uni of London 1st, 2 LSE Masters and clearly more than capable to help run a business, they handpick his 2nd brother's son to take on the helm and sidelined her.

You conveniently missed out 1 thing, the 1st wife only agreed to give him her lifetime savings because he agreed to put her name on the title of the house that they are now living in. If my MIL wanted to be nasty she could claim part of that house too as it was bought during their marriage or use it as a basis for monthly alimony payments. Also she will most likely get all of it back in the event that other condo does sell.....though I won't hold my breath on it selling anytime soon unless sold very cheap which he isn't willing else I'd have bought it off him.

Why the 1st wife didn't give money for the name right? Simple, she did not give a flying toss about it therefore she wasn't wasting her savings on something of that nature.

He claims the reason she took him back was more along the lines that her children said their father was in trouble and was being mistreated by the family. Said she cared enough to get him out of the mess. I did tell him don't count on my MIL ever doing that for him.

FIL could have make a deal with 1st wife by asking for her savings in exchange for share on the property. With that, he could have bought the name right and the money goes towards her pregnant daughter instead of MIL. Now, half share gone, no name right and no money.

As said earlier, FIL is assets rich and could have easily solved the problem.

What a no brainer ... fighting for something which is not within his means to have it eventhough legally half is his. Expect to be handed on a golden plate, according to some replies. Ego is the word.

Looking back on past replies, sometimes some people solve problems using emotions rather than 'logic'. In a 'war', it doesnt matter right or wrong, ultimate is win. Others can cursed and sweared, but 'me' matters.

A good read for 2019.

The daughter of the 1st wife offering to sell her baby-foetus-boy's birth-surname-right to your FIL for RM300k could have been a ruse to breakup the marriage of your FIL and MIL, so that the 1st wife could win back your FIL to her side. Team B were betting on the greed and selfishness of your MIL and her Team A to accomplish your MIL's downfall, ie your MIL finally lost her husband of 40 years to the 1st wife.
....... That was why the 1st wife and Team B were willing to take your FIL in, care for him and gave him RM210k, the 1st wife's life savings, to get rid of your MIL and her Team A.

Come Chinese New Year and QingMing in 2020, where will your MIL and her Team A be going.?

You did get me curious there. In previous years for CNY I usually booked myself an air ticket to some European country or volunteered to be working during that time. Was wondering if this year wife would tolerate that.

I decided to ask her if she'd be interested to join me on a holiday to Italy this year, she said CNY this year she will be hosting the reunion dinner at our house, told me the only plan I should be having is to be at home. I asked her her father how, she asked me what about him, he has disowned them so she doesn't care what happens to him and swore she would chase him out with a broom if he dared show up at our house. Said she will invite 2 of her aunts and one uncle to join the reunion dinner and said she will make it to be a very happy one without him. MIL said yes to her plan.

QingMing? Every year 2 weeks before I will borrow a pickup, a power washer and an IBC water tank to clean the tomb stones of my mother's side grandfather and grandmother. Then I place flowers on their tomb stone. Been doing that for the last 11 years and no one knew who was it that cleaned the tomb stones up until 3 years ago one of my cousins saw me. Since then I also place a Union Jack flag on their graves as well. Oh yes, and I do fix all the cracks as well.

As for her grandparents, they are buried at the same cemetery as my grandparents. They both share the same birthday. Since 8 years ago I also would clean their tombstones when I cleaned my own grandparents' ones. I just clean it and that's the end of it till 2 years ago I would bring our son and had a special T-shirt printed for him with their family name on it. I get him to pray for them symbolically and yes she will always claim that she was the one that cleaned it.

However we do honor her grandparents slightly differently and they both have the same birthday, every year the company I own holds its annual dinner on his birthday. It pays homage to him as the founder of the company and the one that started what was once a very good factory. During the years it did not have any of the founding family members we had the tradition that the youngest single female in the office will cut the cake for him. Then 3 years ago my SIL started working in the company and she was the one that cut it. Now my wife and SIL jointly cuts the cake.

You'd be surprised but earlier I had a conversation with him and he is still under the illusion that he won and won big against the MIL because he cornered her into not being able to claim any further alimony from him and the all important any assets from his company that is now dormant which does own some land most of it are difficult to sell or develop.

Neither cares about the other now that the war is over. MIL thinks she has won the entire war because the children are still on her side and she retained what she wanted.

Ancestor worshiping

Family is viewed as a closely united group of living and dead relatives.
Ancestor worship is a religious practice based on the belief that deceased family members have a continued existence, that the spirits of deceased ancestors will look after the family, take an interest in the affairs of the world, and possess the ability to influence the fortune of the living.
Unity of the group is reinforced through ancestor veneration, offering of various kinds help to keep the ancestors happy in the spiritual world, who, in return, will bless the family.

Being an important aspect of the Chinese culture, the social or non-religious function of ancestor worship is to cultivate kinship values like filial piety, family loyalty, and continuity of the family lineage.
Ancestor worship is a family affair, held in homes and consists of offering joss stick, serving as communication and greetings to the deceased, prayers and offering items before memorial tablets.
Before the reunion dinner, the spirits of the ancestors are invited to join the celebration; fruits, food, sweets, flowers and tea will be offered to them. Ancestors will be served their favourite dishes as well as ‘dishes with a meaning’.

Chinese culture and tradition is very patriarchal, ie not matriarchal, as will be practised by your MIL and Team A in 2020 for CNY Reunion Dinner and QingMing without the presence of your ex-FIL, the ex-patriarch of Team A.
....... IOW, the CNY Reunion Dinner is usually held at a patriarch's house or his appointed restaurant, not at a matriach's house or her appointed restaurant.

Only Chinese sons can carry on Chinese culture and traditions like ancestor worship, not Chinese daughters. Eg during a traditional Chinese funeral, only the eldest male descendant can carry the photo of the deceased ancestor for the funeral procession for burial or cremation, ie not a female descendant.

Of course, if Team A adopts your quite liberal Western culture and forego Chinese culture, then problem solved.

Well it appears Team B isn't quite as hot on him as we were under the impression and their decisions aren't as unanimous as we are under the impression off either. Earlier this evening the eldest of Team B contacted me to ask for a return of all their mother's savings.

-Claims there wasn't any deals made.
-The 2nd went to the bank to organize a FD and discovered their mother's account to be near 0.
-They asked their mother what happened and she told them she gave their father money to invest in his own company so he had money to get started with developing the last piece of land he still owns. Said once the land was developed and sold he would give her an extra RM400,000
-When I told her of what he said to me, she said there was no such deal about putting her mother's name on the house title, she said they been trying to get the title from him for the last 30 years so they could get a mortgage to fix the house but he always told them the house was purchased using his father's money therefore they could live there but cannot own it. They are totally unaware he has another condo or another daughter.
-I told her that her mother was too gullible to believe he could turn RM210,000 into RM610,000 and told her if that was indeed the case my MIL would have gladly allowed her condo to be mortgaged to give him that amount of money, told her heck I would have given it to him and told him I would just take RM200,000 no need RM400,000 and I told them we took RM210,000 from him we have no idea where the other RM520,000 he took from her went to as they had to ask him.
-Said the 2nd and youngest sister are very angry at him and want to kick him out of the house, told me I better give them back the money as she couldn't do anything if they kicked him out of the house and she would have no choice but to send him back to us. I told her he would kick them 2 out of the house first before they kicked him out especially now that he can't get the baby's surname to follow his own. Claimed it wasn't an issue if he kicked them as they would take their mother to go live at their own house.
-She asked about his land, I told her I was not at liberty to reveal and they had to ask him, seems he had taken her car and disappeared somewhere. I told her most likely gone to Genting.
-She said she wanted to send him back to the MIL's house and for us to deal with him. I told her he and my MIL are divorcing, she now has no home to take him back as she no longer lives on her own so if they want to kick him out he will be a homeless old man.

I told MIL + wife + SIL that there was an update on him, MIL said she not interested to know and said she is only interested in being a mother to her children and grandmother to her grandchildren. Wife and SIL wanted to know everything, after hearing everything wife said he will not be allowed to enter our house. SIL was disappointed to hear her father had become a scammer and said she found it embarrassing that she has a father like him as well as difficult to find it in her to forgive him. Poor girl... it is really affecting her.

Eg during a traditional Chinese funeral, only the eldest male descendant can carry the photo of the deceased ancestor for the funeral procession for burial or cremation, ie not a female descendant.

Of course, if Team A adopts your Christian-based Western culture and forego Chinese culture, then problem solved.[/i]

This won't be the first time they are having reunion CNY dinner without him.

Happened twice in the last 12 years. Both times I wasn't present because I used both occasions to disappear abroad (for work purposes)

Oh well either way they don't give that much of a toss for culture especially anything that has an element of male dominance to it.

I think can sell this story for a Cantonese soap opera!

I feel bad for the 1st wife. She gave him her money under false pretenses on his part. He scammed her after she took him in. FIL is irresponsible and makes use of others to solve his problem.

I doubt MIL is going to give the money back. She probably hates the 1st wife's guts.

Remember, I have the 1st right. Lol

A pastor said I was greedy.

So do you still agreed that 50% should be handed by MIL to FIL on a golden plate even though is his legally or do you think he should fight it out the legal way.?

Wow.! ... The 1st wife had RM730k in FD savings. No wonder your ex-FIL went back to her, ie for her money.

So, the sale of Team B's birth-surname-right for RM300k to youe ex-FIL was likely a ruse, to break up the marriage of your ex-FIL and MIL and reunite their mother/1st-wife with your ex-FIL. Now the daughters of Team B regret taking your ex-FIL back because he has "scammed" their mother's RM520k(the RM210k was needed to get rid of your MIL). Team B are stuck with your ex-FIL, for good or for bad.
....... Sometimes, being rich can make a person over-confident. "A rich mind is the devil's playground". "Manusia boleh merancang tetapi Tuhan yang menentukan."

Please update us on what your ex-FIL is doing with the RM520k, the sale of his mistress's condo, Team B and Team A, ie the post-divorce situation.

Seems like now BillCollector has become the "Chinese patriarch" of Team A. biggrin.gif

Yes, that was sly and slimy of him to con her out of her money that way especially after all the good things they had done for him.

But then it does not surprise me that he had done it, he has long made use of people or found ways and means to manipulate people to solve his shit.

MIL not interested in hearing where or how he got the money, all she knows is the money is better in her pocket than in his.

Finally done 7pgs over lunch.

One thing I don't understand, why would the FIL offer 210k and gave up 50% share of the condo to TS's MIL, if FIL intends to cheat.

FIL can just pocket all 730k from his swing at 1st wife, full stop. Further retain his 50% share of the condo thru divorce division, right?

Just a slight correction there, even with their divorce he remains my FIL, he will be my ex-FIL again if my wife and me divorces. Not sure if it applies if he disowns her too since nowhere in this world there are actually legal provisions to disown children.

It does not surprise me she has that much in savings, her late father operated a petrol station and it was left to her and her 4 brothers. It was only shut down 4 years ago due to road expansion.

Not sure if he knew she had money or only knew he had money after he started living in her house.

I had a call and meeting with him this evening. Unfortunately wife said all the matters pertaining to the divorce had been agreed and he has already paid therefore there was nothing further to discuss with him unless she was also present.

We met at a Starbucks, straight away he asked why the wife followed me, said he wanted to talk business. Conversation then went along the lines :-

One thing to note, divorce laws in Malaysia aren't as clear cut as it appears to be as the Acts that govern it are very open ended and intentionally vague. Either a sympathetic judge or a very good lawyer could skew the outcome in either direction.

It would not have been as easy as it appears for him to claim 50% of the condo. My MIL had full proof she "paid" for that condo on her own effort. This is especially so when taking into consideration he has 2 other properties.

Real reason he wanted her gone isn't anything to do with the birth-right name, nothing to do with the 3 real estates involved or Team A or Team B.

The real reason he wanted her gone and gladly paid her off? They were already having issues even prior to the start of the last round of fights. The last round wasn't even the catalyst but more of the last straw. He finally needed her gone because he had that deal under his sleeve. He needed a quick way for her to resign as a director of the company thus relinquishing her 30% share. He owned 50% while his 2 brothers and 3 nephews owned the remaining. If the project is successful and he sells every single house in the next 3 years, his share of the profits at 80% is RM5,000,000 and that means a whooping RM1,850,000 he doesn't need to share with her. RM210,000 is peanuts by comparison.

Got carried away by the wind and playing the 'victim' card. Too emotional when 'handling' divorce case.

Not sure how quoting bible verses can convince a sitting judge to deliver a favourable judgement to his client's favour.

This is to solve current issues and NOT thereafter.

So, you were wrong to assume that your (ex-)FIL took the RM520k and went to Genting with Team B-daughter's car.

What happens if your MIL remarry a new husband.? Who will be your "real" FIL.?
.

Nowadays, the housing market is quite soft or lacklustre and it will remain so, likely forever. This is because the housing market has already reached market saturation point since the banking sector was liberalized in the early 1990s, ie since about 27 years ago. IOW, no more 1990s economic and housing boom due to many more people suddenly able to get easy and generous house loans to buy houses/properties, ie able to get maximum 100% and 30-year housing loans at low interest rate from maximum 80% and 15-year housing loans at moderate interest rate previously. The government and banks have no more levers to pull to artificially spur another economic growth/boom or another housing boom.

So, I think it is not a good idea for you to get involved in your FIL's inadequately-funded housing project, especially if it is not located in an ideal location. If things go south, it will not be easy for you to evict Team B from the terrace house.
....... Your FIL should just sell the land to an established well-funded housing developer for a small profit, instead of desiring for a RM5 million profit.

.
.
P S - In the 2000s, the US banks employed easy ARM(adjustable rate mortgages) housing loans and credit default swaps to insure/guarantee such risky loans to again artificially spur another US housing boom. This culminated in the 2008-2009 Stock Market Crash and world recession. .......

Luckily, Malaysian banks did not follow the US banks.

No idea if he did go to Genting, maybe not yet?? But he is pottering about in her car.

MIL remarries?? The one with more to give can be my real FIL smile.gif If neither has anything to give then status quo remains.
However for my wife, she only recognizes my father as her FIL. She calls him dad when speaking to him. As for the stepfather, I told her to address him by his surname (without any Mr prefix) the same way I call him.

That land is located in Rawang area, a big part of it are affordable housing. Most of will be sold below RM350,000 for a single storey terrace, even in the slow market it should sell.

It will be fairly well funded if he has the RM2,000,000 in hand and a bridging loan, in fact he only needs to sell around 40% of the project to break even. Think he knows it better than us since he been doing it for 20 years.

A developer never sells his land the same way a car manufacturer never sells its supply of steel.

anyway am not going to create trouble for myself by helping him on this though it is quite tempting.

With this kind of history ( https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/...-hulu-selangor/ - Abandoned projects cry for attention in Hulu Selangor - 2017) behind housing projects in Rawang, many housebuyers are wary of buying such new 'sell-and-build' houses in Rawang which can be similarly abandoned by the housing developers, eg if a world recession suddenly hits in 2020 or 2021= many housebuyers prefer to buy already-completed new houses or 2nd-hand houses even though they have to pay a bit more = "pound wise, penny foolish." = safer to lose RM30k than losing RM300k if a housing project suddenly gets abandoned for whatever reason.

What happens if your FIL could only sell 30% of the housing project.? Without sufficient funds for holding costs, he will likely be forced to abandon the project.

"Beggars can't be choosers" - this aptly describes your FIL's present financial situation = he is in no position to be a capable housing developer like he was 20 years ago = he should just sell the land for a small profit to a capable and well-funded housing developer.

So, you were wrong to assume that your FIL would take the 1st wife's RM512k to Genting. Your FIL was not as bad as you think.

Stroke or brain haemorrhage is different from heart attack. Stroke happens when the tinier blood vessels or capillaries in the brain burst, probably due to sudden extreme stress or worries = part of the brain is damaged and dies = paralysis.
....... The failure of his last ditch housing development plan to resurrect his wealthy status plus his 1st wife leaving him were probably too much for his old blood vessels to bear = double-whammy. Like a chess game, your lawless FIL made a few final wrong moves in life and got check-mated for life.
....... This also proves that men should really retire at 60 years old and be fully-prepared, especially financially = avoid any stressful activity like concocting money scams, divorce, get new younger wife/gf, have kids, start new money-making ventures, move house, take in new tenants, quarrel, sue in court, etc.

The 1st wife probably left him because she was very angry that he used her RM210k(without her permission) to pay off your MIL for the divorce. With your FIL in such a bad physical condition, will the divorce betwen your FIL and MIL go through.?

Will your FIL still get a grandson to follow his surname before or after he dies, maybe on compassionate grounds.?

What a sad end to this /k-drama about an idol-worshipping and lawless old Chinese man and his 3 "wives".

So, you were wrong to assume that your FIL would take the 1st wife's RM512k to Genting. Your FIL was not as bad as you think.

Stroke or brain haemorrhage is different from heart attack. Stroke happens when the tinier blood vessels or capillaries in the brain burst, probably due to sudden extreme stress or worries = part of the brain is damaged and dies = paralysis. 
....... The failure of his last ditch housing development plan to resurrect his wealthy status plus his 1st wife leaving him were probably too much for his old blood vessels to bear = double-whammy. Like a chess game, your lawless FIL made a few final wrong moves in life and got check-mated for life.
....... This also proves that men should really retire at 60 years old and be fully-prepared, especially financially = avoid any stressful activity like concocting money scams, divorce, get new younger wife/gf, have kids, start new money-making ventures, move house, take in new tenants, quarrel, sue in court, etc.

The 1st wife probably left him because she was very angry that he used her RM210k(without her permission) to pay off your MIL  for the divorce. With your FIL in such a bad physical condition, will the divorce betwen your FIL and MIL go through.?

Will your FIL still get a grandson to follow his surname before or after he dies, maybe on compassionate grounds.?

What a sad end to this /k-drama about an idol-worshipping and lawless old Chinese man and his 3 "wives".

I did not expect him to return the money to his 1st wife. It was certainly a surprise to me when I was informed by Team B that they received the money and wanted nothing further with him.

Am uncertain what's the actual reason the 1st wife left him, Team B doesn't let their mother speak to me. The lone member of Team C did not want to know anything.

Regarding the divorce, according to our lawyer he did visit and asked to prepare a letter granting me power of attorney in the event something did happen to him on all his affairs. Seems he did know something was about to happen to him I guess?
MIL and Team A are insistent on going through with it. I'm trying to convince the MIL not to trample over a fallen man. She said she had taken settlement money then must go ahead with it.

Get a grandson with his surname? When we reconciled I did tell her if we have a son and she wanted him to follow her family name then I won't have any objections. Wife is still cold against her father therefore is unlikely to allow it. MIL is against it. However it will cost him more than RM300,000 as if one of the babies in her is a son, he would have 2 highly educated parents, will have a high standard of living and will have the privilege of being part English smile.gif

I haven't found that Mandarin cancelling earbuds yet but will definitely be needing them very soon.
Nosebuds? That would be an excellent idea but all I need is a better kitchen hood, we have one but am not allowed to mount it as it requires drilling.

MIL could donate back the money FIL gave her for his nursing care. Even if she doesn't care about him it's for her own peace of mind.

To recap; this /k-drama began in Aug 2019 when Team B and 1st wife had likely used the ruse of selling daughter's baby-boy/foetus's birth-surname-right to FIL for RM300k, in order to breakup FIL from MIL(= 2nd wife = legal wife).

So, the ancestor-worshipping and lawless FIL tried to scam MIL of RM300k by mortgaging MIL's condo to Team A's daughter. When the similarly lawless MIL found out, she deviously planned to "sell" her condo to her 2 daughters of Team A and then divorce FIL, so as not to let FIL have a share of the condo.

Probably aware of the MIL's grab-and-dump plan in early Nov 2019, FIL made his own grand comeback plan to divorce MIL amicably by paying her RM210k to get her to relinquish her share on a piece of land in Rawang, so that he could develop the land and make a grand comeback as a RM5-millionaire.
....... He got the RM210k by borrowing RM730k from the 1st-wife of Team B who took him in and trusted in his grand comeback plan. After suffering public humiliation for about 40 years, Team B and 1st wife probably thought they got a prized catch by reeling in FIL.

Alas, FIL's grand comeback plan failed to takeoff because of insufficient funds and he ended up worse than before, ie Team B and 1st wife left him probably because she lost RM210k to MIL for nothing, even though 1st wife got back RM520k from FIL. The extreme stress of 2 failures, ie in business and family, probably triggered FIL's brain stroke that left him paralysed.

Conclusion: ... Chinese culture, tradition and beliefs are mostly not good.

His nephew had the contact number for the lone girl in Team C, I met up with her earlier as we had to discuss about the condo as we are thinking of placing him there and hiring a carer for him instead of sending him to a nursing home, then the Team B's house will be rented out to pay for the carer. She is just a 20 year old girl, looks a lot like the SIL. She had zero interest in her biological father and didn't have much to say about him and wasn't interested in seeing him, mostly said if we wanted to take back to the condo then take it as both she and her mother had not been there for a long time and they didn't need his money.

We were in the midst of a major war between early feb and early august, we did have a small break in April for 3 weeks where she did get pregnant but she miscarried and then the war resumed. It was only in August we reconciled.

Well he also destroyed a lot of good FS by selling off stuff he shouldn't have sold.

He has had cars with 8, 88, 118, 988, 1288 and 1688, not sure why he used other numbers when the family number was 1318 which his father's car used to have. Now our Mini uses the same number as well but our Kia doesn't as we bought it 2nd hand.

TS, in terms of the relationship between you and your wife, all I can say is that you are a disgrace to your gender. If your reconciliation with her was based on your complete surrender to her control you would be better off ending the relationship.

You think there is peace now but the worse is yet to come. Women aren't aroused by men they can control. She will shut down sexually towards you and you will get less and less sex from her. To satisfy her sex drive she will cheat on you. When that happens you will be gutted as a man and your emotion will be torn to shreds.

This is female biological instinct from thousands of years of evolution. You can't fight it.

Not necessarily that TS would be better off ending his marriage with his wife. Her behaviour is still OK and tolerable, ie she is not an evil witch or terrorist or a Lorena Bobbitt as long as TS behaves.
....... In Christian/Church weddings, it's "for better, for worse, until death do us part." In TS's case, it's mostly for the worse until both he and his wife repent.
....... In Chinese weddings, it's "marry chicken follow chicken, marry dog follow dog". In TS's case, he has to follow his biatch. biggrin.gif

TS, a Gentile, got into Christianity in 1997 when he was "saved" by God from a very desperate financial situation(= he was able to continue his college studies, graduate and get a good job in USA) but thereafter he remained quite ignorant about God and His Word/Bible, eg he continued in the sins of sexual immorality = against ACTS.15:28-29. Cf; Parable of the Sower - MATTHEW.13, eg some new Gentile Chistians desire riches more than God/Jesus.

In 2008, he also ignorantly chose to disobey God/Jesus(= the Word) by marrying an unbeliever and then let his wife be the co-head in the family = so, eversince he has been suffering for his disobedience to God, eg relationship problems/quarrels, divorce, separation from his kids, hypertension, etc.
....... Of course, TS only sees these "sufferings" positively through rose-colored glasses as the process of maturing in life, loving his wife and sacrificing himself for her (cf; he who spares the rod, hates his child) and obeying modern British culture of equality in the household/family(= feminism). We should just let him be in his rose garden.

To me, high-income earner TS is like the Finance Minister while his wife is the Prime Minister in the family.

"To each his/her own", including the karma or reapings. This applies to all of us.

She is torn between who to least offend, on one hand she has a son in law that holds a high standard of American and British standard of ethics, integrity and humanity whom she knows won't tolerate her trampling upon a fallen man.

On the other hand she has to also be aware of the feelings of her eldest daughter that still hates the father. She is afraid of being thrown out of the house and need to fend for herself at a time where she has no income just yet and the daughter has no qualms using her control of purse strings to get her way.

Doubt she would reconcile with him as at this moment she has decided she only wants to be a good grandmother to her 2 grandchildren and the 2 that are on the way.

He saved no money at all for his children's education, he never expected his money would run out.
Eldest daughter wanted to become a lawyer he told her no money so had to do LL.B locally. Then she had trouble as couldn't sit for the CLP because no SPM. Lots of sulking and foot stomping/cold war he sent her to Britain first for a Masters and then was supposed to do the Bar exam, only problem while in Britain she spent too much time being among Chinese people instead of English speaking persons. She was accepted to do the Bar but couldn't pass the IELTS exam. Therefore she did a 2nd Masters but still didn't improve her English....... then she met one horrible guy....

He mortgaged the house his late father used to live for the money to send her to Britain.
Why your wife no SPM.? Shouldn't she have known that SPM was required for all government sanctioned jobs in Malaysia, eg doctors.? If she had passed the English IELTS, would ahe have become a lawyer in England or in Malaysia.?

Seems, your wife's badly-planned studies and sulking had something to do with your FIL losing his good FS house.

That did not come as a surprise to me after the first line I quoted.

It is most shocking to me because I always equated that type of possessiveness to men from muslim countries towards their women. Even then you don't usually find it in a family environment, this one really took the cake because she was speaking to her own father. I could not imagine someone speaking to her father that way.

It makes me wonder why she is so possessive, my speculation would be either she has no choices in life and therefore must cling on to her husband and he must have had a history of infidelity towards her similar to his father in law.

How did she badly plan her studies? Just about everything about her education was decided by her father including the decision not to take the SPM and to just concentrate on the UEC. Oh well, it was never really in his intention that she'd work outside of the family business anyway so paper qualifications meant very little to him. Come to think of it there wasn't much aspects of her life that he did not try to plan for her including who she was supposed to have as her husband laugh.gif

If she had passed the Bar exam in England, she would have qualified to be a lawyer in both Britain and Malaysia though most likely not in Britain as I doubt any barrister would have given her pupillage.

He did not lose the good FS house because of her, he lost the house because of his greed for easy money.

If everything about your wife's education was decided by your FIL and he intended your wife(= his daughter) to work in the family business, he would not have needed to mortgage his good FS house to sent her to Britain for further studies because he did not need her to be a real practising lawyer. Likely, your wife wanted to be a real practising lawyer, eg to show off to her friends/peers, hence her sulking and cold war towards her father to get what she wanted. I believe your FIL had also spoiled his eldest daughter by submitting to her desires/tantrums = he had to mortgage the house due to lack of cash.

Your wife should have been more considerate of her father, ie not caused her father to have to mortgage his good FS house for her further education. Unfortunately, spoiled brats are mostly inconsiderate and selfish.

TS's FIL have only daughters, ie no son. TS's wife is the FIL's elder daughter = she was a spoiled brat who got nearly everything she wanted from her parents and so grew up to be spoilt = became her habit, ie it's "her way or the high way" wrt husband-wife relationship.

TS, a Westerner with Chinese blood, accommodates/submits to his wife because he supports the liberal feminist movement or women-power, ie modern US/British equality in the family household.
....... As a high-income earner, TS still retains some money-power over his wife in the family household, eg only he could keep his daughter in the super-expensive international school, not his wife. Can't imagine what would happen to TS if he suddenly loses all his money-power, like the story of Samson and Delilah.(Be warned.) Or if his wife later ends up as rich or richer than him.

FIL has sacrificed a lot for his eldest daughter's education. He does not deserved to be cast out of her life as an enemy. What she can do to her own father she can also do to others close to her. She is what is called "damaged woman" with no pity or empathy for others. TS had better be careful.

He did not mortgage the house for her alone and that wasn’t the only house he mortgaged to prop up his easy and quick money businesses. He and his brothers lost more than just that 1 property their father gave to them.

I say good thing she sulked and fought for an education as either way the money would be down the drain. Good thing she had a career outside of her father’s businesses else the situation with her won’t be too different from many of her cousins who worked for the family businesses and mostly can’t make it in the outside world.

He never spoiled or pampered her , he preferred pampering the women that would open their legs for him.
Actually the one that does spoil and pamper her is none other than me. Even the old man believes so.

and folks, this is why being a self-made, self-independent person is and will always be the proper way to go..

I'm a firm believer that once you reach 18, you are on your own.. especially if you are a male.. family business and relatives be damned.. if they are drawing from family, the more mouths feeding on the nipple is going to drain the milk faster! I've seen it all too well.. friends who can't buy a house because their parents already used my friends names to get business or housing loans.. Multi-generational family staying under one roof.. cousins, brothers, sisters.. all a fucking mess and comparison/unfairness that I wonder what the hell are you putting yourself through all of that for..

Sure, you can depend on your parents for support starting off.. but eventually, you need to be weaning off your parents support. So they can use their peak working years to save up a nest for their own retirement.. That way, all sides won't be left in a shit storm like how TS family undergoing now..

I think this is the ONLY good thing to learn from Ang-mo. As they believe in independence once you turn 18.

the main issue with TS family stems from the FIL having multiple wives and multi-generational kids.. He is in his twilight years of life, but still have kids as young as 20 to support?? that is crazy..

The writing is on the wall. FIL is going to die penniless and he will drag families from all over down with him. My suggestion would be to cut ties ASAP. Don't even bother sorting this out.. Get your share and get the fuck out.

Well, as someone who has lived independently since turning 18, I have been entirely self-reliant and not taken a single penny from my parents that I have not returned..

When you have lived life the way I have, you will see how I don't believe on relying on others to support you.

Also, due to me not taking money (this includes self-funding a 4 year engineering degree by working a full-time job & getting an education loan in my own name), my parents actually manage to purchase 2 more property and paid them off in 15 years.. They have been making an earning from the rental and are self-sufficient in their retirement years now.

So yeah, if you are like me, then your conscience is very clear.. I do not owe my parents a living and they've managed to set themselves up very nicely.

If you are like TS.. then that's just too bad.. you've got to know though that your FIL cannot be saved and maybe should consider to start feeding him junk food to put him into an early grave.

I was going to demolish it but in view of the sensitivity of the house I consulted a FS Master who told me to restore and repair it instead. He told me never to sell it and expect some good fortune my way.

.
I asked my own FS master, he told me the house held no special FS and even with the #8 it was insignificant for me because the FS doesn't transfer to me. Long story short I demolished the house instead.

.
The 2 statements above by your FS master seem contradictory. The former house was owned and lived in by your FIL's father and the latter house was bought by the old man for your FIL to live in. The former FS was transferable to you but the latter FS was not transferable to you. ???

In the old days (= pre-1900s) of mostly agricultural rural societies, sons needed to fend for their old-aged physically incapable(= of doing farm work) parents.

These days of mostly industrial urban societies, old-aged physically incapable parents can fend for themselves, eg got EPF money and/or other retirement income(eg rental, FD interests, etc) to order GrabFood or Foodpanda. Today, no sympathy should be given for parents who did not prepare for their retirement, unless they lived their whole lives in the kampungs.

In the case of TS's FIL who got paralyzed by a premature brain stroke at age 60+, it's more a matter of "karma is a bitch" or "he reaped what he had sowed". In comparison, many good and law-abiding old-aged folks remain healthy and then suddenly die peacefully in their sleep at age 90+, ie without giving trouble to their sons, grandsons and other young ones.
....... So, TS and wife should not go out of his way to be his FIL's primary caregiver = can be a very stressful and thankless job. TS can give other forms of humane assistance to his FIL, eg moral support, legal, logistics and financial assistance. Worse come to worse, let FIL be sent to an old folk's/nursing home, either private(= about RM4k per month) or charity.

It is 2 different houses at 2 different locations.

Some good FS houses will transfer to whoever that owns it and or lives in it. The 1st house falls into this category.

Some good FS houses will only give good FS to the ones that live in it.

Some good FS houses will only give good FS if a certain person is living in it. The current house I live in is one of those, it was bought because the FS Master said it had the perfect FS for my wife.

Some good FS houses are only good for some persons and owning it doesn't make any difference. The 2nd house I bought off my FIL is in this category...... alas demolishing it was a bad move according to the FS Master.

and folks, this is why being a self-made, self-independent person is and will always be the proper way to go..

I'm a firm believer that once you reach 18, you are on your own.. especially if you are a male.. family business and relatives be damned.. if they are drawing from family, the more mouths feeding on the nipple is going to drain the milk faster! I've seen it all too well.. friends who can't buy a house because their parents already used my friends names to get business or housing loans.. Multi-generational family staying under one roof.. cousins, brothers, sisters.. all a fucking mess and comparison/unfairness that I wonder what the hell are you putting yourself through all of that for..

Sure, you can depend on your parents for support starting off.. but eventually, you need to be weaning off your parents support. So they can use their peak working years to save up a nest for their own retirement.. That way, all sides won't be left in a shit storm like how TS family undergoing now..

I think this is the ONLY good thing to learn from Ang-mo. As they believe in independence once you turn 18.

the main issue with TS family stems from the FIL having multiple wives and multi-generational kids.. He is in his twilight years of life, but still have kids as young as 20 to support?? that is crazy..

The writing is on the wall. FIL is going to die penniless and he will drag families from all over down with him. My suggestion would be to cut ties ASAP. Don't even bother sorting this out.. Get your share and get the fuck out.

You are spot on there.

He is 76.
1st wife :75
Children : 54, 47 and 44

2nd wife : 58
Children : 38 and 29

Mistress : Early 40s.
Child : Just turned 20 a few weeks ago.

Oh well he did believe his money would never run out and last more than 3 generations.

FIL has sacrificed a lot for his eldest daughter's education. He does not deserved to be cast out of her life as an enemy. What she can do to her own father she can also do to others close to her. She is what is called "damaged woman" with no pity or empathy for others. TS had better be careful.
*
She isn't a bad woman. No doubt she does have a temper and some anger management issues but she isn't a bad person per say. A lot of it has to do with her suffering multiple miscarriages over the last 9 years.

She has some bitterness against the father, some of it stemmed from money where he made her take a loan for him and the promise to pay back never happened or it became a pay 1 month then 2 months never pay type of deal. She does believe this had something to do with why she found it difficult to find another job in the financial services industry after she lost her job earlier this year.

Finally one of the main reasons why she is angry at the father was earlier this year we were having a war and we basically saw no hope in any reconciliation. Her father pressured her to pass custody of our children to me which she did then immediately regretted it. That 6 weeks being kept away from our children and needing to fight back to see our children again basically made her the way she is now towards the father.

I did try to advise her to let it be and let bygones be bygones but I guess it isn't easy for her.

How do you reach independence at 18 without a lot of support and resources from your parents? When your parents need support in their twilight years quickly cut all ties before they drag you down?

How many people have benefited from FIL when he was younger and earning a good income? All 3 of his wives have properties in their name or occupied by them. He probably paid or contributed to his children's education.

I agree at his age no extraordinary measures should be taken to keep him alive but he does not deserve to be cast aside to stew alone in his own misery as what you are effectively suggesting.

There's a duty and responsibility to raise your child to adulthood. Since you, the parent brought the child to this world.
So again, no, i dont believe the resources spent by your parents during your upbringing counts as a drain. Responsible parents would know about the costs associated in bringing kids to this world and have budgeted accordingly.

But once your child reaches adulthood (around 17 or 18), they start becoming less dependent on their parents and should begin supporting themselves..

My conscience is clear. And I have helped my parents tremendously by not draining their resources once i have turned 18. My university education was fully funded by myself. Do you realise how much that helps your old folks? They bought two additional properties and now they are worth hundreds of thousands if not a million each. They can sell that and pay for the remainder of their lives. They dont have to depend on me whatsoever.

You see.. this is why it is so important to be self reliant.

I know this is slightly off topic but I have always wondered what made her change her mind in her previous relationship with the church guy and did a U-Turn? My understanding from reading other threads is that they were legally married for some period of time, long enough for you to met them twice at a grocery store but some thread mentions she only got together with him for like 1 week before coming back to beg to see her children. I am a bit confused regarding the timeline for this.

Was it that she came back to you due to the though of losing her children that ate away at her? Or was it because she found out she loves you the most? But pls allow me to say that I am happy both of you worked things out together and got back together again.

why? Seems like the kid has got a good head on his shoulders and is willing to make his own way in life.

Buying a PC on your own is a great first start for a teen. I know I did the same thing too when I was 15. I managed a small business selling toys and flowers during events such as valentine, graduation, etc at my high school, I was also the go to person for catering as my Mum had a cafeteria running. She shared a % of the profit with me.

I made enough money that year to afford my own electric guitar, and a 2nd hand gaming PC.

As a parent myself, I don't believe in 'buying' whatever the kid wants.. That's robbing them of critical life skills. You should teach your kids skills and lessons that build their resilience, resourcefulness and character. Not just clear obstacles and a path for your child, removing frustration, failure and risk-reward.. that's called plow-parenting and why we have so many weak snow-flakes in the world today.. They are fucking up their child by making life easy for them.

I'm a very firm believer of what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. And like a weight-lifter, you need to keep practicing and lifting heavier and heavier things until you become great at it. It is the only way.

No worries. Will answer it.

The confusion also stems from my own misunderstanding of the situation plus not paying attention to what she was saying 90% of the time during that time when we were at a cold war.

I was mostly overseas from Feb to May this year and we were in one of those cold wars which at that time I didn't really give a toss as I was pursuing something with one American woman.

She got to know the guy that was pursuing her in Jan when he started attending the same church. He wanted a relationship but some of her cell group members told her to refrain from relationships as she had not recovered from our last attempt at reconciliation and told her to pray about it.

In June when I spoke to her she said she was being pursued by someone and he was planning for them to have a church wedding and to start a family but the church had many requirements such as counselling, classes and mentoring because both of them were divorced. I thought they had bypassed the church requirements and had a civil registration but he wanted to have a church wedding and to go through with it but she did not have money to pay for the counselling and classes.

We bumped into each other at Publika in early June, I was heading out and they had just parked. She introduced me to him and I gave him a Donald Trump style handshake. We did not say much other than I told her she had not made arrangements as to how she was going to pay for the damage to the paintwork of the Renault I was then driving, she had vandalized it during one of our fights and scratched it front to rear and side to side as well as she broke one of the side mirrors. She told me she was still jobless therefore had no money to pay, he stepped in to pay until I told him it was a RM7,000 bill to which he told her no need to pay. I told them no worries I had the CCTV footage of her damaging the car and I would let the insurance company deal with it.

Late June, I was at Publika to buy steaks as we had a party the next day, they were there together with our children to buy stuff for a church gathering. I so happened to be there with the American woman and our children pulled their mum to where I was and her face turned black and sour. Our daughter asked me why I was holding the American woman's hand and not their mum's hand. He tried to hold her hand but she brushed it off. Our son then asked me whether I was buying steaks for them to eat and said they long time never eaten steak or fish everyday only can eat pork, chicken or sardine and eggs. I asked their mum if it was true. She kept quiet. I told him to go on his church function on his own, I took out RM500 from my wallet and gave it to my daughter to hold, I told their mum to go buy enough groceries for our children to eat and on my next visitation day I was coming to check the house to see what shit state it was in. He started telling me I cannot tell her what to do and I wasn't allowed to go to her house. I told him to stay out of it and to get on with his shopping. She told me they came in his car, I told her very well then, buy up to RM450 and use the RM50 to take a taxi home. He stomped off. I had a fantastic date except my phone kept ringing because some wasn't happy she saw me with another woman.

It was right after that that he told her in order for them to be able to pursue a relationship our children cannot live with her and that she should return the house she was living in. He met her parents to ask for their approval to start a relationship and made several promises. He then asked them for some help to convince her to send the children away. That was when her father pressured her to pass the children to me. He did not realize the consequences of him asking her to do so.

3 days after I picked them up to live with me, she called me to ask how they were. He found out she had called me and said she wasn't sincere with him and said no point in having a relationship if she kept contacting me as he wanted her to have zero contact with me. She told him it wasn't going to work at that point in time.

As for why she came back? Most women who had been close to her children can never give them up easily. There were a few incidents that ate into her with regard to losing them, she was stalking my FB, there were several videos of our son sitting on that American woman's lap doing stuff from making cookies to her feeding him cake and the one that got her the most were that of them hugging or kissing. She told me that wasn't allowed, I told her she gave them up someone has to give him the motherly affection he needs. The next incident that ate into her was the school contacted her and asked why our daughter had been absent, it was then that she realized I had changed their school, she asked me why I had done it as that was something she would never had agreed, I told her I no longer needed her agreement. The final one that drove her crazy, her younger sister works for me, at that time she wasn't on talking terms with the family, I brought them to work, she took several selfies including one of our kids kissing both her cheeks and then sent it to her with a message something along the lines "Bet it is something you want but can no longer do." That one was quite brutal because she also took them out on 2 outings and purposely took plenty of photos and videos and tagged the elder sister. Elder sister messaged her the younger sister and told her she was going to kill her if she posted another such photo or video.

When I allowed her to see the children 6 weeks later, she never left the condo for 5 days and on the 6th she went away for an hour to get a bag of clothes and toiletries, that's when she said she had come back to reclaim her family to make it whole again and she could only have 1 husband and his name was written on her back. I told her show me she can be a good and the best mum for our children and I would consider taking her back.

Thanks for sharing.

It's a bit ironic as I felt she gave the guy a chance perhaps as a way to 'get at you' but turns out to be a double edged sword. Also that although can see she is very attached to her children yet she still uses somewhat harsh Chinese parenting styles on them. Perhaps it's the only way she knows.

Am glad things turn out for the better. Can see that you made peace with a lot of things / people already.

How many people have benefited from FIL when he was younger and earning a good income? All 3 of his wives have properties in their name or occupied by them. He probably paid or contributed to his children's education.
*
When he had plenty of disposable money?

1st wife : She wasn't given a lot as he did not have much money while the father was still alive. House was given to her to live but not ownership of it.
The 3 children : All were educated to Form 5.

2nd wife : She probably enjoyed a lot of his money as he used to dote on her a lot. Except as he got into troubles he took away the most from her also. In the end was left with 1 condo in Desa Parkcity which is now in bad shape also.

1st child : He paid for her undergrad. Think it cost around RM40-60,000 as it is a UoL LL.B (External) doubt it cost a lot.
After that he "paid" for her 2 Masters in London. Cost RM380,000 over 4 years.

2nd child : UTAR - paid entirely by the 1st child + her husband aka me.

Mistress : No idea what she receives but MIL believes she was given at least RM100,000 worth of stuff plus use of the condo.
Child : Entirely supported by the mother as he never gave her anything.

MIL believes he has cheated on her at bare minimum upwards of 15 times with 15 different women. Those women were the luckiest of the bunch as most likely they were given lots of cash or gifts that they did not need to return.

Definitely a lousy father but it would be wrong to say he didn't do any good.

His father left him and his 2 brothers 2 factories and plenty of properties.

Both those factories provided plenty of employment to a lot of his nephews and nieces. Alas many of them were paid to do nothing.

His 2 brothers always says the person that benefited the most off him isn't any of them but a certain 'vulture' and not because he gave money but he offered plenty of good deals and plenty of useful and high value contacts which was milked but somehow the 'vulture' knew how to disappear when it came time to 'pay' laugh.gif

Late June, I was at Publika to buy steaks as we had a party the next day, they were there together with our children to buy stuff for a church gathering. I so happened to be there with the American woman and our children pulled their mum to where I was and her face turned black and sour. Our daughter asked me why I was holding the American woman's hand and not their mum's hand. He tried to hold her hand but she brushed it off. Our son then asked me whether I was buying steaks for them to eat and said they long time never eaten steak or fish everyday only can eat pork, chicken or sardine and eggs. I asked their mum if it was true. She kept quiet. I told him to go on his church function on his own, I took out RM500 from my wallet and gave it to my daughter to hold, I told their mum to go buy enough groceries for our children to eat and on my next visitation day I was coming to check the house to see what shit state it was in. He started telling me I cannot tell her what to do and I wasn't allowed to go to her house. I told him to stay out of it and to get on with his shopping. She told me they came in his car, I told her very well then, buy up to RM450 and use the RM50 to take a taxi home. He stomped off. I had a fantastic date except my phone kept ringing because some wasn't happy she saw me with another woman.
You have 2 rude and selfish kids who offended the feelings of your American gf and your then ex-wife's bf. In your selfish ego, you condoned and approved the rude behaviour of your 2 kids. Your kids may turn out to be like the spoiled brat Michael Fay. Maybe you should do something about your selfish ego and your 2 rude/inconsiderate and selfish kids.

I think your comment is too harsh. They were kids, they behaved as kids who did not understand the situation between TS, their mother and the American woman. Even if they were aware that their parents had separated how else do you expect kids to behave? Do you expect them to say "Hi Daddy, best wishes to your new girlfriend?" I don't understand your comment about TS's "selfish ego" either. He was concerned about his kids, what selfish ego were you talking about?

Some updates to this :-

We been in Guilin, Lijiang, Yangshuo and Shanghai. I am still trying to wake up to the reality of how life turned out, I wouldn't have imagined 6 months ago I'd be back with my wife or going on holidays with her as just a year ago we were in the midst of the worst wars we've been through. I think I definitely had enough of China for a lifetime but sadly will have to return again very soon.

It was supposed to be a holiday trip but it became a business trip and ended up working between Xmas and New Years day...... not happy that that happened but at least it means we could come home sooner, there is only so many yang chow fried rice I could eat.

During our holiday and after we returned some interesting things happened.

1.) FIL made a slight recovery. He can move both hands but remains bedridden. Also seem more communicative but in a foul mood most of the time. He is refusing to do any PT but MIL brings him for TCM treatments. He only keeps calling me "vulture" and nothing else the times I saw him.

2.) FIL communicated to the MIL he doesn't want to die in a nursing home and would rather die at home. MIL tried to bring him home to our house but hit a dead end, instead she moved out of our house and rented a 1-storey terrace house near Tg Malim to be close to one of her sisters and checked him out of the nursing home, she did this without consulting anyone which drew the ire of both her daughters and also the 3 stooges of Team B.

3.) FIL's company that owns the piece of land is being liquidated. Plenty of unpaid creditors including IRB and the land office as well as local council. His 2nd brother is taking care of it and currently at a dead end as someone needs to cough up RM400,000 before the land could transfer, thankfully his brother has taken charge of the company and dealing with the creditors. The land remains part chicken farm, part lorry parking and a small part being used to plant chilli.

4.) SIL has decided she won't be forgiving her father, she decided that much of her life is fucked up because of his bad choices and decisions, she is still somewhat bitter she did not get to be educated overseas because the father squandered all the family wealth. She is also upset that she was made to work for free and essentially wasted much of her prime years doing stuff for the old man and not being paid for it. She isn't on talking terms with her mother either, something to do with her now having a Chindian bf, she does have a thing for mixed race men, he is a nice guy does treat her well but her mother doesn't like him due to race and religion issues. She told the mother she didn't want a share in her condo and to sell it off as she no longer wanted anything that came from her father. She still works for me and mostly lives on site as she feels most safe and secure there.

5.) MIL and wife are also no longer on talking terms. Mainly due to (2.) and some monetary dispute. MIL told wife reason she does not want the father back in our house is because he is a poor man and nothing to leave behind for her, wife told MIL she didn't need or want anything from them as her husband provides her with everything she needs or wants and regrets the years she tried to help them as it proved to be a waste of time and good money. Wife then told MIL to manage her own condo and to stop relying on me to do stuff for her unless she wanted to pay and even if I did not ask for any payment she still needed to pay. The final reason that caused the cold war is MIL found out wife is carrying a boy and a girl, wife told her mother both of them will be named the same way as our son, her mother requested that the boy follow her family name so the father can have his wish come true. Wife told her mother to forget it as it wasn't happening.

6.) Team B was given the option to buy up the house they were living in for RM550,000 well below market value on an as is where is basis, they agreed then they changed their as they believe their father doesn't have a will. They will be disappointed as their father does have a will and everything goes to my MIL. The house remains empty and locked up. None of them have visited the old man either at the nursing home or at his new abode. MIL did tell me before the start of the cold war that she will sell it as it will cost too much money to upkeep.

7.) The girl in Team C was given the option to buy up the condo for RM310,000 and her stepfather counter-offered RM250,000 for it which was accepted on the basis that it would be in her name only. They paid cash for it. She decided she will see her biological father and saw him once at the nursing home then decided never to see him again, when I asked why she simply said she only had bad vibes from him and preferred to not know who he is and said she did not want to have anything further to do with him. Money was given to MIL who is using it to take care of FIL. MIL did repay every single sen to the old lady from Team B and did say she'd like to see the old man but he is too far away and none of her children are willing to take her.

8.) Wife decided she will forgive her father and move on from the incidences that happened over the last 12 years because of him. She went to visit him before he was moved out of the nursing home unfortunately he did not want to see her and she left because he started losing his head. She hasn't gone back again as the pregnancy is starting to wear her down and she doesn't want to do any far away trips. Myself, I've long decided to forgive and forget, also during the last 12 years though for the most part he was an asshole with a profligacy problem he did help me along the way, he introduced several contacts and sent some businesses my way, many of which I earned fairly good money off, then he also introduced me to several politicians and civil servants that proved to be very profitable and finally he also introduced me to one circle of new friends who ganged up to speculate on property as well as stocks, these are people that were influential enough that before a project was launched they could go select all the nice units or the entire block if that was what we wanted. Oh those contacts lead me to a very unusual addiction and obsession, which was money and making more money. However the more money I made the less willing I became to share it, in the beginning when I made RM10,000 from one of his contacts I'd take RM4,000 to save it and give the wife RM6,000 and would tell her to give some to her parents, I would even tell her if I knew they were a bit tight to give them everything as next month more money will come to us. However when my share of the profits started reaching RM50-100,000 I started finding it difficult to part with RM1,000 and stopped telling the wife how much I made off those deals, till today am quite surprised despite how much money in my bank accounts we were having couple fights over money at that time. I guess in hindsight I should be thankful to all of them and their money troubles, I was about to do one of my largest ever speculative purchase, I was going to go all in with that group to do a syndicated purchase of an entire block, wife said she knew how much money I been making off her father's contacts and it was time to pay tribute by rescuing their house, she made it very clear either buy up that house or if they lose it she was bringing both her parents to live in our house. In the end I bought up their house and it meant not being able to go through with the syndicated whole block purchase, that whole exercise proved to be a blessing in disguise because when the project had a VP auction units were showing up cheaper than the launching price and you could now fetch one up to 1/3 off the launch price, I'd be in deep shit now had I gone ahead. I guess in a way I should be thankful he created all the wars over the last 12 years especially the major war this time last year as without that war my wife and me won't be together today and our eldest probably won't be studying at the school she is today.

9.) Wife and SIL are on good terms. They both decided to bury the hatchet and move on from the past. They both decided to get their mother to manage the condo herself as they didn't want to have anything to do with it, told her if she can't manage it then to sell it off.

10.) MIL and me are not talking to each other. MIL disagreed that she needed wife's permission to speak to me and said I shouldn't have spoilt her till she is the way she is now. She views it that I'm only on wife's side and won't listen to any other side. Oh well, I told her I don't want to be like her husband and I am in a position where I need to act in her best interests first.

And lurkingaround you asked what I would be doing for CNY, the answer is we won't be doing anything at all other than on the eve our own family lunch then we would check in to a 5* hotel in the KLCC area. We don't plan on doing anything as wife is at war with more than just her mother and I am at war with my mother and her side of the family, can't bring myself to fake smile among them.

I would do the following :-

1.) Cut the civil service by 50%
2.) Deregulate the economy and make corporate tax, income tax and GST to be 5% Also implement a state and local area income tax of 3% and 1% respectively. Economics and resources to be a state and local area matter rather than Federal matter, Federal government's responsibility is to manage defence, foreign policy, education, healthcare, national water, telecommunications and power grid and reserve bank.
3.) No more funding for any religious organizations, JAKIM, JAWI etc would be funded by Zakat only.
4.) Implement a Bill of Rights.
5.) Free visas for Whites and Japanese, Koreans as well as Taiwanese who earn at least US$120,000 per year and they can operate her tax free on condition they hire at least 5 local persons.
6.) All 3rd world migrants sent home.
7.) All oil palm plantations to be demolished and rain forests to be replanted then sold as carbon credits with a very sustainable logging policy.
8.) Proton to be 100% sold to Geely, Perodua 100% sold to Daihatsu and be taxed like any other car. Cars to be taxed based upon real world fuel economy and emissions, then by weight and dimensions. Motorbikes banned. New national rail system and strong emphasis on rail transport.
9.) Pro-America and Pro-Europe policies.
10.) 2-term limit on PM, MPs and judiciary. The following to be elected by the public :- President, PM, MPs, Senators, State legislators, City Councillors and mayors as well as state police commissioners.
= TS wants Malaysia to be like USA.

By his own words, TS evidently has a selfish White ego and also lacks empathy for the poor folks who have to ride motorbikes.

MATTHEW.5: = 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

3
“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4
Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
5
Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.
6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.
7
Blessed are the merciful,
For they shall obtain mercy.
8
Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
9
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
10
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
.

MATT.19: = 23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

The American lady wasn't offended, she found them cute and took pity on them.

Wasn't too bothered with the other fellows' feelings but ermm if you go through the transcript of what happened there you'd realize it wasn't them or me that offended him intentionally.

Taken from my soon to be launched dictaphone app. Some parts been ommited due to privacy reasons.

I kinda feel pity for H (the guy who was after you then ex-wife), it seems sorta like he did not know what he was getting into when he went after her and bite off more than he can chew. Also seemed like he was being treated as a spare tire or at least in her mind you were still more important than him.

I can also imagine your then ex-wife must be thinking / asking herself how did things come to this, watching everything crumbling all around her. Torn between being filial and interest of her own family (with you and the kids). Although it does seem she learned to appreciate what she had and prioritise what's important in life after this.

I am glad things have stabilised / improved for your family since then.

Edit : BTW, Happy Chinese New Year, or Happy Holidays if you don't celebrate CNY.

Since about 1 or 2 years ago, there are non-Muslim "confinement centers in PJ" where new mothers and babies are cared for by maids for 1 month 24/7 in a cozy bungalow or semi-D setting - costs a few thousand RM. This trend started in Taiwan a few years ago.

MATT.5: = Marriage Is Sacred and Binding

31 “Furthermore it has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.

.

The root cause of your above problems was that you had unjustly or unrighteously or sinfully divorced your Chinese wife = you caused your children and wife to suffer. Did you make your marriage vows in Church.? So sad. sad.gif
.

Like I said before, once you, as a Gentile Christian, disobeyed God by marrying an unbeliever in 2008, you had actually made your bed to lie in it, dog(= bitch) hair, ticks, fleas and all = you were not supposed to get out of that dog-bed except for sexual immorality on her part.
....... Anyway, the worst have passed(= your in law problems) and it should be smoother sailing from now on, especially if you learn more of the non-burdensome parts of God's Law/Word.

Happy CNY to the burdensome Chinese part of your self and your beloved family. smile.gif

The low end junks we find here are probably even more polluting as they don't need to conform to any emission control standards. We are not just talking of fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions here but also other pollutants.

There are lots of scooters in EU but not mopeds aka kapchais.

The whole story is very distasteful, TS.

All I can see if young people busy leeching off older people's money - and it's not even a lot! We are talking about 100k-400k. If they can't even work hard to save such money, they need to work harder.

Living in DPC but could only drive GRAB and can't afford renovation? Where's the priority here???

To that daughter who want to give birth, please make sure you are able to be independent and not keep leeching off others for money.

I am sure they are all able-bodied young adults. Hence, go out and make some money, instead of bickering of a few k's here.

Getting divorce between the 2 and this loan matter are two DIFFERENT thing. Things become confusing because people start to mix things up.

The best you can do is wake your FIL up. Your MIL defends rightfully and correctly - it's during their divorce then the court will decide how to split the property.

Shameful!

Since about 1 or 2 years ago, there are non-Muslim "confinement centers in PJ" where new mothers and babies are cared for by maids for 1 month 24/7 in a cozy bungalow or semi-D setting - costs a few thousand RM. This trend started in Taiwan a few years ago.

These centers have been around for a lot longer than that. Some are Taiwanese franchise as well where the one that does the caring are trained nurses as well as maids. I am the landlord to 2 such centers. Definitely nice places to be especially if your own home resembles a pigsty or full of undesirable inlaws. Some stay for as long as 2 months as well.

However such places are no substitute to being home.

The root cause of your above problems was that you had unjustly or unrighteously or sinfully divorced your Chinese wife = you caused your children and wife to suffer. Did you make your marriage vows in Church.? So sad.  sad.gif

....... Anyway, the worst have passed(= your in law problems) and it should be smoother sailing from now on, especially if you learn more of the non-burdensome parts of God's Law/Word.

Happy CNY to the burdensome Chinese part of your self and your beloved family.  smile.gif

Both the weddings weren't in church. The 1st registration was done in a certain temple in KL, can't recall the name now. The 2nd was done in Las Vegas at Elvis Chapel.

The root cause of the trouble was your idol kept his profligate ways and exported his troubles to his daughter with scant regard to her ability to repay when he couldn't keep his end of the bargain.

Happy CNY to you too.

The low end junks we find here are probably even more polluting as they don't need to conform to any emission control standards. We are not just talking of fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions here but also other pollutants.

There are lots of scooters in EU but not mopeds aka kapchais.

The actual root cause is because you, a Gentile Christian, ignorantly disobeyed God (= 2COR.6:14) by marrying a Gentile unbeliever whose Gentile parents were full of lawlessness. IOW, spiritually, you married a dog/bitch together with many of her and her parent's lawless dog-shit because the Lord/God Jesus Christ considered the mostly lawless Gentiles as like dogs = can be vicious, biting and blindly loyal/filial if under the wrong master. .......

.
MATT.7:6 = 6 “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
.

MATT.6: = 24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

I kinda feel pity for H (the guy who was after you then ex-wife), it seems sorta like he did not know what he was getting into when he went after her and bite off more than he can chew. Also seemed like he was being treated as a spare tire or at least in her mind you were still more important than him.

I can also imagine your then ex-wife must be thinking / asking herself how did things come to this, watching everything crumbling all around her. Torn between being filial and interest of her own family (with you and the kids). Although it does seem she learned to appreciate what she had and prioritise what's important in life after this.

I am glad things have stabilised / improved for your family since then.

Edit : BTW, Happy Chinese New Year, or Happy Holidays if you don't celebrate CNY.

Happy Chinese New Year!!


Yes thankfully things have improved leaps and bounds. It did help that she finally woke up to the reality and she did realize it would be an ongoing issue with her father but felt mostly powerless to tell him off especially when she was without a job.

She was always torn indeed, on one side there was the guilt tripping by her parents as well as cousins, on another side she realized the money wasn't hers' and she knew I didn't approve of it. She always told herself just this 1 last time and there wouldn't be a next time. It just got to it that it became one too many "just this one last time" and she always thought she had one weapon she could always count on, the children. She only realized she had fired her last bullet last March when she tried to ambush me when I visited our children and I blanked her out.

She definitely changed a lot since we got back together.

H isn't a bad guy and I do pity him as well. He did try but he didn't realize her emotional and financial liabilities or at least the extent of it. He was aware by the church policy which he was a worker at that he had to wait for her to attempt another round of reconciliation with me as the rule of that church was you can only remarry after a divorce if either before the divorce you went for 2 rounds of pre-divorce counselling and numerous rounds of prayers or if you had divorced then you must show you had attempted 3 rounds of reconciliation with very few permitted exceptions especially if there are children involved. We did go through 1 round of counselling after that I told her to name a price for a no contest divorce as I just couldn't take it any longer at that time. She named the price and set a condition that we would attempt the 1st of the 3 reconciliation within 3 months. We did and it went 26 months without any incidents then a major fight happened and we split up and I also started seeing someone else. The 2nd lasted 14 months then ended in a major war. I signed the 3rd reconciliation form, I told her I didn't care any longer what she said, she can fill it up and give it to her church. In May she told H I had signed a blank reconciliation form and he told her I was clearly uninterested in a reconciliation with her and that she should submit it, she filled out the form and stretched the truth on it which in turn caused the form to be rejected, she was told to attempt another reconciliation and he was told to stop pursuing her by his cell group leader. He decided he would continue to pursue her as he thought it was unlikely I would take her back and he thought from the way she spoke about me she probably hated me so all he had to do was to be patient with regard to that reconciliation form.

Aircraft engines do have limits on noise and emissions as well if they are to operate in EU as well as North America.

Ships engines do have limits as well especially where it will be entering a harbour within certain EU areas.

Power generation? There are more and more requirements for carbon and particulate capture these days even in China.

Just so you know even in Malaysia before your factory can release smoke into the atmosphere you do need to have a permit from DoE and those permits don't come cheap.

Rocket engines?? How many such engines exist?? How many scumbags ride kapchais in just Kg Kerinchi alone?

The new emission standards for 1975 model year, as well as the increase in fuel usage, forced the invention of the catalytic converter for after-treatment of the exhaust gas. This was not possible with existing leaded gasoline, because the lead residue contaminated the platinum catalyst. In 1972, General Motors proposed to the American Petroleum Institute the elimination of leaded fuels for 1975 and later model year cars.[citation needed] The production and distribution of unleaded fuel was a major challenge, but it was completed successfully in time for the 1975 model year cars. All modern cars are now equipped with catalytic converters, and leaded fuel is no longer sold at filling stations in most First World countries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_emissions_control

I do not think aircrafts, ships, rockets, power-plants, factory boilers, chainsaws, lawn-mowers/grass-cutters, ATV, etc have catalytic converters or particulate filters that are mandated in cars. IOW, the emission control standards/regulations for non-cars like aircrafts, ships and motorbikes are less stringent. ....... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States...ssion_standards

Let me get this straight TS. So the main bone of contention with your wife was the financial help that she insisted that you should give to her parents and relatives? Most wives will just accept no for an answer. It's rare to put such financial help above her marriage and breakup because of it. I hope her attitude is better now and the beggars feel guilty about causing your marriage to breakup.

Light-duty vehicles

Light-duty vehicles are certified for compliance with emission standards by measuring their tailpipe emissions during rigorously-defined driving cycles that simulate a typical driving pattern. The FTP-75 city driving test (averaging about 21 MPH) and the HWFET highway driving test (averaging about 48 MPH) are used for measuring both emissions and fuel economy.

Two sets, or tiers, of emission standards for light-duty vehicles in the United States were defined as a result of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The Tier I standard was adopted in 1991 and was phased in from 1994 to 1997. Tier II standards were phased in from 2004 to 2009.

Within the Tier II ranking, there is a subranking ranging from BIN 1–10, with 1 being the cleanest (Zero Emission vehicle) and 10 being the dirtiest. The former Tier 1 standards that were effective from 1994 until 2003 were different between automobiles and light trucks (SUVs, pickup trucks, and minivans), but Tier II standards are the same for both types.

These standards specifically restrict emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), particulate matter (PM), formaldehyde (HCHO), and non-methane organic gases (NMOG) or non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC). The limits are defined in grams per mile (g/mi).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States...ssion_standards
QUOTE
The catalytic converter is a device placed in the exhaust pipe, which converts hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and NOx into less harmful gases by using a combination of platinum, palladium and rhodium as catalysts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_emissions_control
QUOTE
Rule Summary

EPA is amending the existing emission standards for oxides of nitrogen (NOx) for new commercial aircraft engines. These standards are equivalent to the NOx emission standards of the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and thereby will bring United States aircraft standards into alignment with the international standards. These standards will go into effect on December 19, 2005 and they will apply to new aircraft engines utilized on commercial aircraft that include small regional jets, single-aisle aircraft, twin-aisle aircraft, and 747s and larger aircraft.
https://www.epa.gov/regulations-emissions-v...-and-aircraft-0
.

Like I said before, non-cars like aircrafts, ships, power-plants, factory boilers, electric generators(eg used at pasar malams), chainsaws, lawn-mowers/grass-cutters, ATVs, motorbikes, etc do not have catalytic-converters and/or particulate filters = they come under much less stringent emission control standards/regulations compared to cars/light-vehicles.

Afaik, the limit on NO-x emission by aircrafts is not stringent at all, ie nearly all modern aircraft engines already are within the limit or compliance of the emission control standards set by ICAO and EPA since many years ago. It was as if the aircraft manufacturers were the ones who set the limits/standards, like how Boeing was delegated by the FAA to self-approve its new oddly-designed B737-MAX for flight and 1-hour iPad conversion training for the pilots.

Some updates to this :-

1.) FIL made a slight recovery. He can move both hands but remains bedridden. Also seem more communicative but in a foul mood most of the time. He is refusing to do any PT but MIL brings him for TCM treatments. He only keeps calling me "vulture" and nothing else the times I saw him.

2.) FIL communicated to the MIL he doesn't want to die in a nursing home and would rather die at home. MIL tried to bring him home to our house but hit a dead end, instead she moved out of our house and rented a 1-storey terrace house near Tg Malim to be close to one of her sisters and checked him out of the nursing home, she did this without consulting anyone which drew the ire of both her daughters and also the 3 stooges of Team B.

3.) FIL's company that owns the piece of land is being liquidated. Plenty of unpaid creditors including IRB and the land office as well as local council. His 2nd brother is taking care of it and currently at a dead end as someone needs to cough up RM400,000 before the land could transfer, thankfully his brother has taken charge of the company and dealing with the creditors. The land remains part chicken farm, part lorry parking and a small part being used to plant chilli.

4.) SIL has decided she won't be forgiving her father, she decided that much of her life is fucked up because of his bad choices and decisions, she is still somewhat bitter she did not get to be educated overseas because the father squandered all the family wealth. She is also upset that she was made to work for free and essentially wasted much of her prime years doing stuff for the old man and not being paid for it. She isn't on talking terms with her mother either, something to do with her now having a Chindian bf, she does have a thing for mixed race men, he is a nice guy does treat her well but her mother doesn't like him due to race and religion issues. She told the mother she didn't want a share in her condo and to sell it off as she no longer wanted anything that came from her father. She still works for me and mostly lives on site as she feels most safe and secure there.

5.) MIL and wife are also no longer on talking terms. Mainly due to (2.) and some monetary dispute. MIL told wife reason she does not want the father back in our house is because he is a poor man and nothing to leave behind for her, wife told MIL she didn't need or want anything from them as her husband provides her with everything she needs or wants and regrets the years she tried to help them as it proved to be a waste of time and good money. Wife then told MIL to manage her own condo and to stop relying on me to do stuff for her unless she wanted to pay and even if I did not ask for any payment she still needed to pay. The final reason that caused the cold war is MIL found out wife is carrying a boy and a girl, wife told her mother both of them will be named the same way as our son, her mother requested that the boy follow her family name so the father can have his wish come true. Wife told her mother to forget it as it wasn't happening.

6.) Team B was given the option to buy up the house they were living in for RM550,000 well below market value on an as is where is basis, they agreed then they changed their as they believe their father doesn't have a will. They will be disappointed as their father does have a will and everything goes to my MIL. The house remains empty and locked up. None of them have visited the old man either at the nursing home or at his new abode. MIL did tell me before the start of the cold war that she will sell it as it will cost too much money to upkeep.

7.) The girl in Team C was given the option to buy up the condo for RM310,000 and her stepfather counter-offered RM250,000 for it which was accepted on the basis that it would be in her name only. They paid cash for it. She decided she will see her biological father and saw him once at the nursing home then decided never to see him again, when I asked why she simply said she only had bad vibes from him and preferred to not know who he is and said she did not want to have anything further to do with him. Money was given to MIL who is using it to take care of FIL. MIL did repay every single sen to the old lady from Team B and did say she'd like to see the old man but he is too far away and none of her children are willing to take her. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
8.) Wife decided she will forgive her father and move on from the incidences that happened over the last 12 years because of him. She went to visit him before he was moved out of the nursing home unfortunately he did not want to see her and she left because he started losing his head. She hasn't gone back again as the pregnancy is starting to wear her down and she doesn't want to do any far away trips.  Myself, I've long decided to forgive and forget, also during the last 12 years though for the most part he was an asshole with a profiligacy problem he did help me along the way, he introduced several contacts and sent some businesses my way, many of which I earned fairly good money off, then he also introduced me to several politicians and civil servants that proved to be very profitable and finally he also introduced me to one circle of new friends who ganged up to speculate on property as well as stocks, these are people that were influential enough that before a project was launched they could go select all the nice units or the entire block if that was what we wanted. Oh those contacts lead me to a very unusual addiction and obsession, which was money and making more money. However the more money I made the less willing I became to share it, in the beginning when I made RM10,000 from one of his contacts I'd take RM4,000 to save it and give the wife RM6,000 and would tell her to give some to her parents, I would even tell her if I knew they were a bit tight to give them everything as next month more money will come to us. However when my share of the profits started reaching RM50-100,000 I started finding it difficult to part with RM1,000 and stopped telling the wife how much I made off those deals, till today am quite surprised despite how much money in my bank accounts we were having couple fights over money at that time. I guess in hindsight I should be thankful to all of them and their money troubles, I was about to do one of my largest ever speculative purchase, I was going to go all in with that group to do a syndicated purchase of an entire block, wife said she knew how much money I been making off her father's contacts and it was time to pay tribute by rescuing their house, she made it very clear either buy up that house or if they lose it she was bringing both her parents to live in our house. In the end I bought up their house and it meant not being able to go through with the syndicated whole block purchase, that whole exercise proved to be a blessing in disguise because when the project had a VP auction units were showing up cheaper than the launching price and you could now fetch one up to 1/3 off the launch price, I'd be in deep shit now had I gone ahead. I guess in a way I should be thankful he created all the wars over the last 12 years especially the major war this time last year as without that war my wife and me won't be together today and our eldest probably won't be studying at the school she is today.

9.) Wife and SIL are on good terms. They both decided to bury the hatchet and move on from the past. They both decided to get their mother to manage the condo herself as they didn't want to have anything to do with it, told her if she can't manage it then to sell it off.

10.) MIL and me are not talking to each other. MIL disagreed that she needed wife's permission to speak to me and said I shouldn't have spoilt her till she is the way she is now. She views it that I'm only on wife's side and won't listen to any other side. Oh well, I told her I don't want to be like her husband and I am in a position where I need to act in her best interests first.

How was the CNY holidays for your family and your in-laws.? Any updates.?

CNY??

Eve : We had lunch at home then checked in to a nice hotel. Was originally planning for Genting but everything fully booked. Therefore the KLCC area hotel worked out well. The children mostly spent it at the pool and then at the buffet. The MIL did organize a steamboat gathering and invited FIL's 2 brothers + their families to join. She did invite us to come but wife said she didn't want to attend and instead we decided to take it easy in the hotel. The SIL was invited by the MIL to put aside their differences and to attend the gathering, she ignored and instead had dinner with her bf's family and then returned to work as the factory is doing its annual software updates and upgrades. My mother asked my half sister to invite us to their house for reunion dinner, I told the HS I preferred to remain at war and being disowned.

1st day : Children spent nearly the entire day at the pool or games room and then at the buffets. I mostly spent it by the pool, at the spa or at the bar. We hosted my half-sister and her fiance for lunch. She came to ask me to make peace with the family as her wedding is coming up in June, I told her the war will continue and there isn't a point in having peace just so they can get comfortable enough to ask me for money then be at war again when they can't get it. Evening I hosted my SIL + her bf for dinner, she said she was too busy with work to feel anything and said her mood only was spoilt when the MIL called up to ask her to go to the house for the gathering. She is booking next year to be the same want to do updates and upgrades during CNY because good excuse not to see their faces. Wife felt a bit emo at how CNY is but at the same time she also said it was good in a way.

2nd day : Children woke up, had their buffet breakfast and straight away headed for the pool, then buffet lunch and pool again and then it was buffet dinner. I mostly spent it by the pool and then at the spa. MIL called to ask if she + FIL could have dinner with us, I told her to ask her daughter, wife didn't take her call. My mother did call me to go to their house for dinner I told her I had access to better food than she could cook and seeing their faces was a sure way to make my moods go bad, I told her she said I was no longer her son 3 months ago I preferred she kept to her word. She then called my wife to find a way to make peace as it is CNY, wife told her it is impossible for peace when someone prefers war and isn't eager for peace, told her they only had themselves to blame that I had become the way I am. She then asked the wife to bring the children to the house, wife told her to don't ask the impossible as she didn't want to get a scolding from me during CNY. Overall mostly a relaxing day until nite time when wife said must go out to fix her craving as she was craving for durian...urghhh YUCK!!!!

3rd day : Again they had a round of the pool after breakfast, then checked out and went shopping for groceries. The "charsiew" stepbrother called me to ask if they could come to the house since I won't go to their house. I told him I wasn't taking visitors and they weren't welcome to visit me. He then said his father would like to initiate peace, I told him I wasn't interested as I had no interest in peace and I preferred war. The half-brother called, mostly to thank me for arranging for him to have a job and he is thankful things are improving for him, he had asked me to set him up with a contractor, I set him up with a contractor that I use for all my renovation projects, he taught him how to lay tiles and thus far seems to be doing well. He said he wished 12 years ago he had listened to what I had said instead of blindly following what his father tried to plan for him but he wasn't as daring as his sister who followed what I had said and taught her. He said he will try to do better by this year, I told him to learn as much as he can from his master and don't try to be a hero. He then told me his father isn't doing well, having hip and knee pains which in turn is causing his blood pressure to spike. I told him I wasn't interested in either of his parents.

4th day : School started for the children, afternoon was the factory CNY open day. This year I did invite the MIL+FIL to come by, told them they could invite his siblings + their family to come as well. All of them came, his 4 siblings + their families did come to the factory for our buffet, free flow of beer and XO, lion dance and angpow. MIL tried to approach the wife to talk but wife decided to be among the admin people. She then tried to speak to SIL who told her she wasn't interested to talk and decided to be among the technical people. I then gave a factory tour to his 4 siblings to show them how what used to be their father's factory had been transformed. FIL's younger brother was highly impressed with it and said he could never have imagined the factory could transform. The other 3 were more dismissive, the other brother said it didn't seem like his father's factory as all the important positions were given to White managers and how could it be that so many women were given high positions in such a factory. The 2 sisters mostly said the factory can't possibly be doing well, 1 said the furnishing in the office seems mostly from IKEA and the carpark where all the company cars didn't have a single Audi, BMW, Jaguar or Mercedes everything a Perodua but for a handful of Hondas, Kias and Toyotas. The sister that is Mr Logistic's MIL said it must be a terrible place to work, everyone forced to speak in English, then insisted must be a racist place to work for as no one that isn't White ever gets to occupy the high positions. She didn't quite understand when I told her we have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to discrimination. On the flipside, Mr Logistics did speak to his estranged wife and they agreed to sit down to talk again.

Plans for remainder of the CNY?

5th day : Going to a temple in Kuala Kubu Bharu and visting an aunt of mine (my mother's youngest sister) and who lives with one of her aunts (my late grandfather's youngest sister)

6th day : I will try to visit my stepfather's sister, the one whose late ex-husband was my guardian while I was in America. Probably will bring her somewhere for lunch. This time round will bring the wife along also, must find a way to ensure the entire conversation goes on in English else might get busted that I been hiding from her that I could understand Hakka as well.

8th day : I will be going to my usual contractor's house in Kepong for dinner, he has his annual open house and sets off plenty of fireworks as he is a Hokkien.

Overall not too bad a CNY I guess.

I am still waiting for instructions on this. It will depend on the client and what my bosses have to say. I doubt plans will change on this as by then the worst of it should be over.

In any case my first trip to China was during the SARS outbreak. Was there for 2 months and I exchanged saliva with at least 10 PRC girls and did not go back to America with SARS smile.gif

I would have suggested you to bring the kids out to explore the area. Quite a few nice places to visit : KLCC Aquarium, KLCC Park, Perdana Botanical Garden, Bird Park, Canopy walk at KL forest eco Park.

Best time to explore during CNY too as I imagine it's the least crowded at this time.

We have done the KLCC Aquarium, wife did not want to go outdoors as she said it was too hot.

Also she cannot walk too far on an extended period of time therefore such places are basically off limits for her for now.

The final reason that caused the cold war is MIL found out wife is carrying a boy and a girl, wife told her mother both of them will be named the same way as our son, her mother requested that the boy follow her family name so the father can have his wish come true. Wife told her mother to forget it as it wasn't happening.

Any chance of your MIL paying you about RM300k or contra something else valuable to you to buy the birthname right of the baby-boy that is growing in your wife's belly, like what Team B had offered your FIL last year.?
....... Maybe, look at it as your last parting gift to your 'not-going-to-last-very-long' FIL who had doted on your wife some years ago when she was still studying.

Let me get this straight TS. So the main bone of contention with your wife was the financial help that she insisted that you should give to her parents and relatives? Most wives will just accept no for an answer. It's rare to put such financial help above her marriage and breakup because of it. I hope her attitude is better now and the beggars feel guilty about causing your marriage to breakup.
*
The troubles mostly came because of the way it started and what it progressed into. In the beginning I simply didn't mind the idea of paying to appease as it mostly involved small sums of money for me, she viewed it that I was taking some initiative to get on with her parents.

Then it progressed to loans. Small amounts at first and mostly below RM10,000 and for short spans of time, then it progressed towards bigger amounts and taking longer to pay. Much of this I didn't care all that much as he had introduced contacts that the profits from the deals I struct with them were much more than the amount he borrowed especially as many of those deals had very quick payouts. Basically he would ask to borrow RM30-50,000 for 6 months and usually every 3-4 months I'd have had a deal that made RM30,000 and some where I got lucky I earned near RM100,000 that RM30,000 he borrowed??? He paid then good, did not pay then never mind as one of his contacts would have helped me to earn far more than that.

Then when the amount he wanted to borrow became 6 figures and spanning a year, I decided I didn't want to be the one that bankrolled them and preferred a different approach. It also came at a time when the outlays to earn from his contacts started costing more as it was no more buying properties on the bargain but we were syndicating with developers to take up entire floors or blocks of the development. I decided to buy up what he owned instead, since he was rather desperate for money all the residential real estate I bought from him were extremely good deals if you knew what to do with them as they were mostly in bad or very bad shape but all had very nice numbers. Wife did not know this was going on, I told her to ask her father to deal directly with me and we struck deals in private using a banker she had introduced to me. She only found out because her banker friend asked her how come all the real estate I bought I did not put her name on it. She was very angry when she found out as she thought I was trying to profit from her family's hardship when I could have just helped him out without resorting to that type of underhanded tactics.

During the time when I would offer to buy, they started asking her directly for small amounts of money all the time which meant she was forever broke and broke to the point that one time she basically had no money to eat lunch or service her car and drove her car with very worn tires. She didn't tell me of her issues as she knew I didn't like knowing off money troubles and she knew darn well she was not in a position to be having money troubles as other than her car payment, fuel and maintenance she didn't need to pay a single sen for absolutely anything at all.

It did piss me off that she made that type of decisions and we fought a lot over it then I simply let her be as ultimately it was her money that she was using to help her parents.

There were 2 incidents over 12 years where she actually did asked me to fork out money to help her parents.

First incident :-

The 2nd incident :-
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


She has definitely changed a lot since then.

Let's get some facts straight first, he may have mortgaged a house to send her to Britain but the reality of it I bought that house off him for more than it was worth. He said he spent RM380,000 for time in Britain. When he tried collecting money from her to repay that RM380,000 I bought that house for RM860,000 and a similar house was worth around RM1,200,000 back then if it was in good condition. It cost me RM880,000 to repair, restore and modernize it. Works done? Demolished all the extensions, removed all the roman pillars, converted it from 6 bedrooms to 4 bedrooms, 2 toilets to 5 toilets, new roof and ceiling, new windows and doors, "new" timber floors for the bedrooms, new tiled floors for the rest of the house, new landscape, new fence and gates, new electrical system and new plumbing system. Then it was rented out to a PRC bloke who does some import export business. She should be thankful to me instead.

I don't need to give him any gifts as in the last 12 years I've done more than enough to help him by buying up most of his real estate portfolio. Most of them have ended up the same story as the cost to fix it made it go beyond the market value. I suppose I could have used his style of renovations and constructions that would have made it significantly cheaper to fix but I don't do that type of fixes. The only thing of real value that I took on and became profitable was the factory but that was mostly down to the White managers that manage it.

I do not sell out my children and you should know in the grand scheme of things RM300,000 means very little to me.

Finally there is no reason for me to give any honors to someone who is essentially a poor and despicable man that much of his life was an adulterer and scammer.

-still trying to sell the apartment, so wife still remains at KL. Lowered the price a bit and seek out more agents.

-CNY was better than expected. This is the first year wife spent CNY at my place, so there were a lot of uncertainty for her as we weren't quite sure of the expectation placed on her as the new daughter-in-law of our family and also extended family. I stayed closed to her almost all of the time but turns out we overestimated it and things went OK.

-As there are a bit of friction between my father and me, I am relieved that he didn't say anything to cause awkwardness or uneasiness during CNY.

-It was my first year giving instead of receiving angpow, and I am happy to do so as I see it as 'paying it forward' if that makes sense.

-My 2 married elder sisters visited this year and it's always nice to see them again.

So overall CNY was pretty good smile.gif

TS explained in another post some time ago. Spent the whole morning trying to dig it out but failed. Darn it.

Basically it's an act of revenge, like a middle finger to his Father in Law (and by extention FIL's family). He painted their family name on the building (loan shark style I'd imagine) and hung a PRC flag to signify their 'chinese-ness' and all the Chinese way of life they tried to force on TS, and demolished the building with a excavator with attached US & UK flags as they represent what the values that TS stood for.

Also, his FIL is just greedy and overly confident he can get away with bad things he did, at least from what I read so far.

Thank you for the analysis.

I could not imagine how someone such as his FIL could be in the business of building and selling homes to the public. The stunt he pulled with that shops seem down right dangerous to me. One absolute certainty is if you pulled that type of stunts in PRC you won't remain alive for long. I guess with the existence of persons such as billcollector's FIL I finally can understand why my MIL would only live in a house that she herself commissioned contractors to build or was built by either Sime Darby or Sunway.

Both Billcollector and his FIL should be thankful they do not live in Switzerland as both could look forward to spending time behind bars. One for being an outright crook and the other for emotional abuse of a spouse.

Lurkingaround was free enough to dig it out and I wrote why I did it there.

In short, I was simply being an ass.

Shortcuts = quick money. He had no qualms doing that and risky calculations, you had to understand the mentality of the real estate industry back then, it was in the middle of a bubble, basically anything with 4 walls and a roof would sell like hotcakes, he knew no one would care as most bought it simply to speculate and most likely it would remain empty for years.

Currently will not rent it out for now, wife is worried having tenants might make it difficult for potential buyers to view the house. One agent did share a peculiar case where he came across a tenant who demanded there can only be just 1 viewing when they are staying there (not sure whether this is in the contract or not).

It can indeed be problematic to have tenants in the unit when you are trying to sell it.

Hopefully it sells soon and at a good price.

You should think and retire the American/angmoh way, ie at about 70 years old = your twins will be about 27 years old.
....... Only mostly Asians and Chinese retire at about 60 years old.
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/11/if-you-cant...im-social-.html - If you can’t wait until 70, this is the next best age to claim Social Security benefits - 2018

Come to think of it, Malaysia and East Asia is a small market for the suggested novel like yours = you should have married the Swedish girl. smile.gif

P S - You retiring at about 70 yo = more grandmother story for you to tell us, ie in the 2040s. smile.gif

You should think and retire the American/angmoh way, ie at about 70 years old = your twins will be about 27 years old.
....... Only mostly Asians and Chinese retire at about 60 years old.
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/11/if-you-cant...im-social-.html - If you can’t wait until 70, this is the next best age to claim Social Security benefits - 2018

Come to think of it, Malaysia and East Asia is a small market for the suggested novel like yours = you should have married the Swedish girl.  smile.gif

My Green Card in America doesn't entitle me to collect on Social Security or any social benefits. Only have my 401k.

The Swede?? She wouldn't be good for my big White ego biggrin.gif

If it wasn't for the 2 children I'd have kept on with the American.

In that case, BillCollector will likely have to spend a few mornings to dig out the forum to prove to his knife-wielding "Lorena Bobbitt" wife that lurkingaround is actually a man, ie not a woman rival like the Swedish girl. biggrin.gif

If BillCollector publishes a novel based on his own life, he would already be sharing most of his life with the general public. Mentioning lurkingaround in the novel would just be a small part of the sharing. IIRC, a female forummer even suggested herself selling BillCollector's drama-story rights to a TV station, eg HK TVB.

So, if his wife disapproves of the sharing, she would not allow BillCollector to publish such a novel at all since it would have her as one of the main "bitchy" characters.

Afaik, most old folks do not mind their life story being told, warts and all, eg Steve Jobs of Apple during his last decade on earth after getting pancreatic cancer.

I doubt I would publish such a novel until after she had passed on, might get murdered after that as she finally would know the truth on who I was sleeping with when we were first married....... she won't be happy to find out who.

Why??? During that time I was simply very frustrated with her and her family. She found it difficult to say no to them and I had my qualms of helping them with the type of help they wanted. There were simply too many bad fights in a short time and I felt I needed to seek refuge elsewhere.

These days I treat her much better.

I just can’t believe somebody who could be very logic and open like you could do that lah. I mean, I always thought you are the one who gonna asses the level of your in-laws and wife b*llshit then decided to take it or leave it. When you take it, means you are just deal with it, when you leave it you just cut off/divorce and get your new life. I believe that a real man is the one who’s not afraid of divorce, yet won’t get involved into extramarital affair. Which one you prefer? Son in law who tell you “bill, I can’t take your wife and your daughter bullshit anymore, so I’ll divorce her.” Or just f*cking around behind your daughter?....

I never once claimed I was a saint now did I?

I don't need anyone's honor or respect, never asked for it either and don't expect it in any case.

Ripped him off?? I viewed it as me being smart. You surely aren't advocating me just giving it to him now are you? You surely can't be blaming me for wanting the best deal possible when it comes to investing and it wasn't my fault he took the lowest though quickest offer.

Where do you draw the line at making a quick buck? I'm pretty sure I would draw the line at family..

But that's what happens when you grow up without a father..

You don't know where the limits in morality and ethical behaviour are.. You never had a stronger man, usually a father, to properly put you in your place.. This is why having a masculine father is important for young boys.. Fathers are there to teach their sons, by forcing compliance through raised voices and if necessary through using blunt force to impart a hard message of being compliant and agreeable. The wolf was never domesticated to be a Sheppard dog.

and the opposite of compliance is a destructive male who never learnt any hard limits, so in their eyes, everything goes. And if they have self-narcissistic tendencies then in all likelihood, they will develop to become malevolent Dark Triad psychopaths, and a skilled Machiavellian..

Not entirely your fault here either. You are just a victim of circumstances..

These sort of male figure is the total opposite of what we should be creating and a huge reason why our society is fracturing and falling into bad times.

There is no reasoning with such a person. In their eyes, decisions are made in absolute resolution. The only way to force compliance here is to dish out a beat down. But as there is no authoritarian figure in your life anymore, the likelihood of a bigger male figure in your life forcing you to comply and be more agreeable is low.

In other words, the only person that can recognise these destructive behaviour is yourself.. put yourself in the old dog position here. If you can empathize with his position, then you would know how much he is hurting and maybe you should afford him some respite and relief in the form of not taking advantage of him.

Well, I don't think this applies to every case. I mean both TS' Father-in-law and Step father can be said to be 'masculine man of the house' type of person.. And look how things turned out, especially with step father and his eldest son.

They were absent of didn't bother much with educating Pak Bill.

The critical stages is usually between teenager and before becoming an adult.

During that time, a masculine father was missing from his life.

That’s true, tho it's obvious that TS' step father and step brother did not emphasise with TS or educate / guide him and instead chose to ship him off overseas.

ya, that's why I said not TS fault.. he was a victim of his circumstances.

But only person who can alter and recognise this destructive behaviour is TS. He can still change himself but he needs to recognise where it's coming from.

Quite agree with your assessment.

IIRC, when he started earning and working as an architect, TS's purpose in life was to own 40 houses by 40 yo = belief in mammon god, even though he was a baby-Christian. He pursued it legally but wrt his FIL, it was immorality against family, like dishonoring your father and mother(= broke God's Law in the Bible). To fulfil this greedy purpose in life, he even gave up a happy family life with his ideal Swedish gf = ended up with a troubled family life with a non-Christian Malaysian Chinese wife.

OTOH, his sonless FIL ended up with a brain-stroke by pursuing the birth-surname-right offer from his Team B's pregnant youngest daughter. His belief in traditional Chinese custom of patriarchy and ancestor-worship caused him to pursue it.

So, our purpose in life is mostly derived from who and what we belief. False or wrong beliefs = wrong purpose in life = wrong actions or deeds.

Hope TS repents or changes for the better, which seems so = his life getting better or less troubled.

Good day to all.

Thought you said to take my share then get lost and he should be sent to his early grave? Now you are asking me to have empathy for him??

Which is which again?

FYI, I did not take advantage of him, I helped him as best as I could have.

I took on most of his properties for what was outstanding on it + topup some cash and I did tell him when he had the money he could buy it back from me for a good price.

The only one that I did not give him that option was the first one I bought off him because I bought it to restore and develop the know-how on how to sort out crappy Malaysian made houses.

He did try to redeem one such property but it turned out his idea of being able to buy it back was something where I paid him RM900,000 for it in 2012 and I gave them the option to continue living in it for RM888 per month which he accepted, then behind our backs he moved out and rented it to an illegal kindergarten for RM3,500 per month. In 2019 he wanted to buy it back for RM500,000 and insisted that was what a good price meant.

You forgot my 1st principle in life money = power = freedom. That was far more important than 40 houses by 40yo.
