Contract Law In MALAYSIA

Legal Issue on Contract Law in Malaysia - Good for us to know

This is something I like to share with you from one of my seminar recently. If you find this informative, pls circulate. It was conducted by A/P Catherine Tay on Legal issues in E-commerce.

Notice that most of the time, the receipt / invoice you received from the merchant carries this exclusion clause or similarly worded statement: 'Goods sold are not returnable ' or ' No refund once sold ' .

The thing that I have learnt from her is that : 'As long as your good is purchased for home use and not for business ( i.e. to be resold), the above exclusion clause is VOID.

That means, as long as the good is defective, regardless of what is worded, you CAN get back all your money spent. You do not have to accept a repair on the good or an exchange. You CAN ask for a refund. AND you are LEGALLY right and entitled to! What a revelation!!

And most of the time the merchant will refuse to return you your money.

Her advice? >From her own experience ( and no less than 7 and all successful!) , she will threaten the merchant with four words: ' SEE YOU IN COURT! '

The court here refers to the Small Claims Tribunal Court .

However, you don ' t have to tell them what court! All you have to pay is RM10 admin fee and the loser (the merchant) will have to refund you the money PLUS the admin fee!

She shared this with us because she felt that even educated people are cowed by such unfair wordings (which includes her jaded friends who are not lawyers).

Pls try not to let the merchant fleece you the next time you have a defective good.

I know where to file this. On the 16th floor of Putra Place (The Mall opposite Putra World Trade Centre) . The form cost RM5.00. The Tribunal will settle within 2 months period.

Tribunal Tuntutan Pengguna Malaysia ,
Tingkat 16, Putra Place ,
100, Jalan Putra ,

The Road Not Taken

Sometimes, in life, we find ourselves facing difficult decisions, or rather decisions with dire consequences. Be it hopping on board a business opportunity or exploring human relationships further, it's all about coming out of our comfort zones and doing something different.

The question is always this: Is it worth it?

Think too long, and the moment will pass you by. Biased judgement on the other hand can be fatal. Fight or flight. Make or break. Pros and cons. Yin and Yang.

Cloudy is my mind right now. Give me time to sort myself out.

If You're Not The One

Quote #1

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”

-The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The 'I Like You' Poem


if you gave me
half a moon of a chance
i would
kiss the incisors
out of your mouth, clean
and hold them in my
own, like chippings
from an old mug
then
pray my tongue into
a bowl of holy water
and ask god to never
leave you thirsty.

Adrenaline Junkies

We're all adrenaline junkies. Before you start shaking your head, hear me out.

We're all adrenaline junkies, but we seek it in different ways. Some do extreme sports like cliff jumping, white water rafting, roller coaster rides, etc. etc. There are also some who get their dose from chasing the opposite sex - from just seeing to talking to making out to entering the bedroom. Some do it in the form of drugs - getting high is a form of adrenaline rush. And some, like me, procrastinate just to feel the adrenaline of last minute work.

Whatever it is, whether we admit it or not, one thing's for sure, we like it. Don't you think so?
