A LATIN EXPRESSION

Audi Alteram Partem: Natural Justice revisited

'Audi Alteram Partem', the Latin expression well ingrained in the common law legal system translated in English means 'no one should be condemned unheard. It is one of the three basic principles of natural justice, it has come a long way since it first found favour before the English Courts since the inception of the common law system

PHYSIOGNOMY

Physiognomy classifies each facial element and links it to a personality trait. Curved eyebrows mean someone is friendly by nature; angled eyebrows signify someone who is always seeking to control. Everything means something. 

NEVER PROVOKE.

PROVOKING OTHERS IS NOT JUST STUPID,ITS A SIGNAL OF AN UNSETTLED SOUL.SINCE WE DONT KNOW PEOPLES LEVEL OF TOLERANCE OR HOW THEY WILL REACT, ITS BEST TO LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE  AND  MAINTAIN OUR OWN PEACE. VJ

Success also requires the courage  to risk disapproval. Most independant thought,new ideas, or endeavors beyond the common measure are greeted with disapproval, ranging from skepticism and ridicule to violent outrage. To presevere in anything exceptional requires inner  strength and the unshakeable conviction that you are right.

MR. CHANTHYREN

The Moon- the religious symbols of many religions and cults.It has been worshipped by many cultures from ancient times. Hindus believe that those born on the 2,11,20 and 29 or having their name number, are ruled by this planet which unconsciously influences the lives of these people. It has been said that those born on these dates tend to live in a world of imagination. It is the imaginary things that will appeal to these people rather than the real things.Just as the moon has no light of its own but depends on the light of the sun, these people will depend on someone or something to boost their self confidence.Whether this is fact or fiction I cant say. But I love the Wors of the Psalmist- When I see the Sun and the Moon and the stars which you have made, what is man that you are mindful of him?"

THE FATAL QUESTION

 During one of my law lectures, there was this man who was always looking through the windows at the whiteboard like this. It was rather un-nerving. Later I found out that one of his daughters was in my class.

NO WAY!!!

/////////////??????????????

WHERE IS THE POST OFFICE?

A little boy was waiting for his mother to come out of the grocery Store. As he waited, he was approached by a man who asked, "Son, can you tell me where the Post Office is?"The little boy replied, "Sure! Just go straight down this street a coupla blocks and turn to your right."The man thanked the boy kindly and said, "I'm the new pastor in town. I'd like for you to come to church on Sunday. I'll show you how to get to Heaven."
The little boy replied with a chuckle. "Awww, come on...You don't even know the way to the Post Office!!!"

BILL GATES

What I do best is share my enthusiasm.”
 Bill Gates
Maintaining a positive attitude is important in every work environment. Here are some ways you can learn to create an enthusiastic climate and control negative situations:
Don't criticize, condemn or complain
Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires
Show appreciation
Be a role model for your team

CREDIT CARDS, CHARGE CARDS & DEBIT CARDS

CREDIT CARDS-The issuing Bank will pay on your behalf first and bill you later. There is no such thing as " free for life". When you pay the minimum amount you are liable to finance charges.Late payment charges are another thing.

CHARGE CARDS- when you swipe your card, you must pay the FULL AMOUNT when the Bank bills you otherwise there will be a high Late Payment Interest.

DEBIT CARDS-  when you swipe this card, it automatically deducts from your Bank Account.Rather than withdrawing cash at an ATM and paying for stuff, you just dont have to carry the required cash.     Good Luck.

Quote

Keep the faith, I believe all positive efforts made materialez result sooner or later.

The above is a little quote from another blogger. It really made my day.

THE BIG "WHY?"

Why is one person born into a  royal line with no lack whatsoever and another person is born to eat roots or begs for survival  until life ends .Hinduism blames it all on some bad deeds in the  previous life-"Karma" whereas the Torah, Bible and the Muslim Holy Books offers no answers.But the Holy Quran does mention somewhere " On that day, the female infant will be asked for what crime she was buried alive".Thats the closest answer we get.

If such is the ultimate fate of the person above,I believe Ladies & Gentelmen, with all due respects- it would have better not to have been born at all. --VJ

Why You May Annoy Your Colleagues

If you've become the office tattler or share too much information too often, then odds are you're rubbing your colleagues the wrong way.

FLYING HIGH

Flying high all the time can be dangerous. For one thing, you become noticeable to others, and sometimes the envious eye.And as so often happens, if it is not others who bring us down, unforseeable circumstances change the tide.Flying in dignity one day, bruised and broken the next .Suddenly, our reputation itself is marred and before we know it we are lying in the dust.There are only  choices.Determine to get back on your feet or wallow in self pity and isolating yourself from everyone.Your wings are broken and it takes time to heal. Perhaps the best option is to reflect. Fly again at a later day or retreat .You have to decide that for yourself.     VJ- The Midnight Owl

WISHLIST

April 14, 2010 S399 A CPC :REPORT OF CENTRAL BANK ON CURRENCY NOTE OR COIN

April 14, 2010Where in any criminal proceeding it is necessary to decide whether a currency note is or is not forged, a certificate signed by the Governor of the Central Bank or any Officer authorised in writing by him in that behalf that he is satisfied by personal examination that such note or coin is or is not forged shall be sufficient evidence that such note or coin is or is not forged , as the case may be , and neither the Governor nor any officer of the bank shall be cross-examined with regard to the contents of such certificate unless the Court orders otherwise.
In matters of counterfeit currency, a certificate from the Central Bank stating that the currency is or is not fake is conclusive proof -- not of any other expert. Don't make a fool of yourself by bringing a money changer from India to the court.

DEFINITION OF " OBTUSE"

 

Meaning of the word "obtuse". This is an English expression with hardly any use in American conversation. It refers to stupid, stupidity but is less severe than " bungling moron!!" ( Bungling moron is really bad)

JUDGES REMUNERATION ACT 1971

INTERPRETATION
In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires--
"child" means a child of a deceased Judge-
(a) who is a child under twenty one years of age and includes--
(i) a posthumous child, a dependant step -child and an illegimate child of the Judge;

The above is an embarassing piece of legislation.In the author's view it ought not to be legislated at all. There are other provisions already in existence covering family matters. To pinpointedly legislate on this area raises other questions which somewhat mars the judicial office. Those sitting in the legislature need to face the realities of our day.    Posted by  Vijay

INHERITANCE(FAMILY PROVISION) ACT 1971

"son" and "daughter" respectively, include a male and female child adopted by the deceased under the provisions of any written law relating to the adoption of children for the time being in force and also the son or daughter of the deceased en ventre sa mere at the date of the deceased.
The words en ventre sa mere refers to a child which is still in its mothers womb- an unborn child.From a legal view, the unborn child can also be considered a beneficiary.  Best Regards- Vijay

SOME ADVICE FROM THE APOSTLE PAUL

HUSBANDS, LOVE YOUR WIVES.WIVES, SEE TO IT THAT YOU RESPECT YOUR HUSBAND. EPHESIANS

FAQ-3

Q.My mother in law is forever dropping by at our home as she happens to live nearby.Is there anything I can do to stop this? A. Legally you can apply for an Injunction, but it is doubtful if  the Court will grant this application.

FAQ-2

Q: My wife and I are quarelling all the time.Is this a valid ground for divorce.A :No. Unless there is violence involved.( if this issue can come within the "irrtrievable breakdown of the marriage communiaction" then it can be filed as a joint petition)

A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION.

Q: My spouse refuse to sign any divorce document, can I still file for divorce? A: Yes.
Q: I have lost the contact of my spouse, can I still file for divorce? A: Yes. Of Course.
But you need to affirm an affidavit before a Commissioner Of Oaths swearing that you are telling the
truth.If your statements are later found to be false, as for example, when your wife suddenly turns up in
Court,shouting and screaming, you can be charged for perjury. The penalty is 7 years in prison.So think before putting your signature on anything.

FIERY MOUTH

ALL IT TAKES TO RUIN YOUR DAY IS TO BE IN THE COMPANY OF A PERSON WHO HAS A MOUTH LIKE THIS.VJ

SECTION 323 PENAL CODE

VOLUNTARILY CAUSING HURT - SHALL NOT ARREST WITHOUT WARRANT- SUMMONS-BAILABLE- COMPOUNDABLE. IMPRISONMENT FOR 1 YEAR OR FINE OF TWO THOUSAND RINGGIT OR BOTH.

All teachers at the primary school level. Remember caning is only authorized by law in prisons. If you raise a cane against any student, it will be a violation of the law. You are employed to teach, not to bruise someones buttock. Also those who employ foreigners and start abusing them in various ways- take heed. If you are a Malaysian, and you cause hurt voluntarily and are arrested- you will not walk away without paying the full price.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT- S509 PC

ARE THERE ANY LAW IN MALAYSIA TO DEAL SPECIFICALLY WITH SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASES ?

No. There is only one law in existence that comes close to dealing with the issue of sexual harassment in Malaysia - Penal Code, section 509.
The Penal Code, section 509 provides that :
"Whoever, intending to insult the modesty of any women, utters any words, makes any sound or gesture or exhibit any object, intending that such word or sound shall be heard, or such gesture or object shall be seen by such woman, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 5 years or with fine, or with both".
