EMPLOYEE WINS THE CASE

YAP SWEE CHIANG V SISTEM PERNERBANGAN MALAYSIA[Case No:6/4-874/06]
"...The crew members of flight MH73 should also have been called to confirm the presence of the goods in the Employee's trolley bag.Again this had not been done.The Company's failure to call material witnesses and adduce vital evidence to establish its case left the Court with no choice but to invoke S114(g)of the Evidence Act 1950 and draw an adverse inference against it."

COURT HELD:Dismissal without just cause or excuse-Employee awarded backwages and compensation in lieu of re-instatement in the sum of RM230,197.50 JUDGE:SITI SALEHA ABU BAKAR

With due respects,the lawyers who represented MAS did a shoddy performance in Court.For starters,lawyers should off their bloody handphones when Court is in session.You are not above the law.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO VJ!!!

Today is my Birthday.So I switched off my handphone.I am in no mood for work today. Instead I have decided to spend the day with the love of my life-my Law Books.This is only a part of my collection.It took a whole four months just to complete the reading of this section.I have spent many,many quiet and pleasant days here in my private library.Some days,after some heavy reading-I look like a psychiatric patient.

P.S. I hope that when I am dead- it may be said,
Though his sins were like scarlet,his books were well read!!! Posted by vijay at 7:59 PM 0 comments

THE PROPHECY

"...there will be a vicious and deceitful person in authority.He will go strong...he will cause terrible destruction and be successful in everything he does. He will even bring destruction on powerful men and the common people.Because he is cunning, he will succeed in his deceitful ways.He will be arrogant and destroy many people without warning.Then he will defy the King of Heaven, but he will he destroyed without the use of any human power.This vision........will come true.
Messages From Gabriel.Location- Present day Palestine.

GABRIEL

I was trying to understand what the vision meant, when suddenly someone was standing in front of me.I heard a voice call out over the Ulai River,"Gabriel,explain to him the meaning of what he saw". Gabriel came and stood before me,and I was so terrified that I fell to the ground.He said to me,"Mortal man,understand the meaning.The vision has to do with the end of the world". While he was talking,I fell to the ground unconscious.But he took hold of me,raised me to my feet and said,"I am showing you what the result of Gods anger will be.The vision refers to the time of the end......the end will come like a flood,bringing war and destruction...

FROM THE BALCONY

This is a view from the balcony.Its rather hard to believe that there is such a quiet place hidden away,right here in Kuala Lumpur.The only noise one hears is in the mornings-when the crow gang shows up for their usual bread scraps. They make one hell of a noise until they get what they want.

THE FACTS

HANDLE YOUR LIFE AND AFFAIRS WITH THE UTMOST CIRCUMSPECTION--OR PAY THE PRICE.BE PARTICULARLY ON GUARD AGAINST YOUR NON VERBAL BEHAVIOUR, LESS IT ATTRACTS THE WRONG SPECIES INTO YOUR TURF.IGNORE THIS ADVICE TO YOUR OWN PERIL. VIJAY- THE MIDNIGHT OWL

DECEIVED BY AUDITORS

In Caparo Industries PLC v Dickman (1990)the Company's accounts were audited in accordance with the Company's Act 1985.Some members decided to purchase more shares and take over the Company after seeing the accounts.The accounts turned out to be inaccurate.The members incurred a huge financial loss,which they blamed on the negligently audited accounts.They sued.The Court held that the onus was clearly on the shareholders in these circumstances to make their own independant inquiries,as it was unreasonable to rely on the auditors.Vijay- The Midnight Owl.

Advice from Uncle VJ- If the person before you seems to be overly persuasive or the documentation presented appears neat and perfect-pause.Something is wrong somewhere.
