Short term and long term success !

Do you ever think about this question in your life? 

Many people around me always tell me he/she wants to be a successful lawyer, doctor, or a businessman, but none of them could give me an answer when it comes to this question.

If you are not able to define success in your career, then why do you want to start up your own business or embark your career journey rashly at the first place?

Basically, I will categorise success to 2 sectors i.e.:

                                                [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

I hereby regret to say that there are too many people focus on short term success to aim for a short-term profit instead of long-term success. Many of us are typical Asians who like to compete with each other. We always like to follow whoever shows us his/her fancy car and house to justify “success”.

This temptation and greediness shall directly blind fold our eyes, shut our minds and indirectly force us to follow their steps without thinking about 

                                              [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

Therefore, we drag ourselves to a dreadful situation by giving out:-

Or

                                              [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

 

Regardless in any professional services in Malaysia.

While all of us know vividly that by giving the above will lower down our net profit and we will drag everyone in the same industry to the red sea sooner or later.

                                                          [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

 

How are you going to survive yourself inside a big pool of bloody red sea in a long run together with all the debts that you have yet to settle?

This is the big problem in our society. Everyone of us will follow blindly without thinking about the consequences thereafter. This strategy will pull down our businesses/careers, and at the same time our society will fall very soon since all of us are lacking of

      [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

In creating “value” in our businesses and careers, this pandemic is a wake-up call to all of us. We shall change our mindset and start creating “value” to embrace the upcoming changes and challenges in the new world.

This is the time for us to put aside those “old fashion” ways of creating unnecessary competitions to achieve short term benefits. Our duty is to be creative and innovative by upgrading our skills, polish our knowledge, devise a new strategic plan in our businesses by ways of upgrading the quality of our services and products to achieve a long-term success.

Lots of love,

How to make a marriage work ?

                                              [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

As a divorce lawyer in Malaysia for more than one decade, too often I hear clients either tell me “I am trying very hard to save my marriage!” or “How to make a marriage work?”

Well, I am not a marriage counsellor and frankly speaking, I feel quite annoyed to Malaysians who always take for granted that a divorce lawyer shall give some advice on how to make a marriage work.

However, I noticed that none of them is able to answer me the following questions before they try to defend themselves and complain to me how difficult it is for them to communicate with their spouses:

1. Did you set any resolutions for this year?

2. Is “communicating effectively in your marriage" set as one of your resolutions for this year?

3. How many hours do you spend a week with your spouse?

4. Which day of the week is your family day?

5. How do you arrange the duty roster for household chores and taking care of the kids throughout week?

If none of you made an effort to work out something as simple and necessary as stated from items 1 to 5, then my next question to you is: Are you really trying very hard to save your marriage? Do you really ever try to make your marriage work?

Life is fun but it is never easy. Marriage is sweet but you need both parties to go through bitterness before it turns out to be sweet.

                                                 [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

It is an important life skill that everyone of us possess to learn to compartmentalise as much as all the important aspects (your career, family, health, etc). All of them are correlated that you have to keep learning to compartmentalise and ensure your life doesn’t crumble just because you failed to work out any one of the elements.

Besides that, there are too many roles for us to play in a day as it is never easy to fulfill these roles successfully without good planning by ways of scheduling our daily life.

                                              [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

I hope this blog will give you a shed of light to make your marriage work.

Should you have yet to squeeze some time for your marriage in your new year  resolutions, it is never too late for you to set this new resolution now and you may visit my previous blog regarding new year, new goals, and new resolutions at: https://malaysiadivorcelawyer.blogspot.com/2021/01/have-you-set-your-2021-resolutions.html

Ways to take revenge to those “liars”!

I had emphasised how to identify “Liars” or lawyers” in my previous post  https://malaysiadivorcelawyer.blogspot.com/2021/01/are-you-hiring-lawyer-or-liar.html . The easiest way to identify them as ”liars” is they  would normally like to incorporate their companies under “Sdn. Bhd.” .Whereas, Malaysia legal firms are mandatory to run legal firms by way of sole proprietor or partnership.

                                              [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

Why i will come out with this post ?

I want to vent out my anger here after my SME legal team group noticed that many SME companies have been encountering a number of big problem during and after  MCO 1.0 and MCO 2.0 such as :-

 

(A) employees threaten to sue the employers for not getting full salaries;

(B) employers forced employees to take unpaid leave and annual leave; or

(C) many employers forced to close down and yet live in fear that the ex employees will take legal action against them in future.

Well, the issue that is able to trigger my anger is many of those SME bosses showed us their agreements yet we found out that those agreements are not really able to apply in  their industries or many of the agreements are those standard  “ employment contracts “ that can simply copy and paste from google template or Employment Act 1955. 

 

                                           [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

 

Those template and irrelevant agreements are:-

 

(A) given after they attended business consultancy classes for 3 days 2 nights;or

(B) hired legal consultants who runs their businesses under Sdn. BHd.

BOSSes, this pandemic is a waking call to all of us. It is a time for us to think twice before we pay for any services . You have to hire somebody at least :-

 

(A) is a qualified practising lawyer;

(B) world is changing why you want to pay somebody who is “out dated “ in law industry to draft your agreements;

(C)look for someone who has reported cases in Industrial Court or Labour court (they know the current law and what the courts want from time to time);and

(D) someone at least takes the lawyer’s  brief case,  goes to court and knows the law well

Therefore, it is time to put down the “greed” and think there is nothing call “discount” or “gift” in term of agreements . This “greed” will directly create “unnecessary fear “ in your life.

                                                  [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

Those who are still living in “fear “ due to the mistake done before pandemic , here is an email address for you to report your cases to our Bar Council and they will do investigations and take actions to those “liars “ :-

lpc@malaysianbar.org.my

P/s  inside your email kindly state their website and the full name of the company.This is a good time to take revenge against those “liars” !!!!! Do remember to share this knowledge or our posts to your family members and close friends!!

Nobody shall run out of the boundaries to cheat on anyone to earn his/her own pocket money.

Are you hiring a “lawyer” or a “liar “?

                                             [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

 

AS a co-leader of our SME legal team , during pandemic i realised that many SME bosses are trying their upper best to restructure and rearrange the systems and policies of their companies to embrace the new challenges that indirectly forced by the “pandemic”.Undeniably this is a good move and good change to endure the new world.

Many young and new bosses especially those who graduated from oversea will start hiring lawyers to review and even draft corporate documents and commercial agreements to regulate the internal and external relationships of their companies .

                                             [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

 

However , many of them wasted their money to hire a team of  “liar “instead  of a group of professional lawyers . This is a serious issue that we shall highlight to all of you as according to section 37 of Legal Profession Act 1976 in Malaysia , none of the unauthorised person is allowed to wilfully or falsely pretends to be by taking name of title to act as a qualified lawyer to  do the followings :-

 

(A) draft any corporate &commercial agreements including to prepare any documents or instruments relating  to incorporation or formation a company;

(B) draft trust , Power of attorney , S& P Agreement and issue out any threatening letters to demand for outstanding sum for a company or individual;

(C) to draft any cause papers to file into court;

(D) accept any consultation fee or retainer fee by giving legal advise ;

(E) as anything related to legal service or act as an advocate & solicitor in Malaysia is considered he/she is committing a crime unless those services given are under “Free of Charge” and you shall bear the liability by acting or complying with their advices since they do not possess any lawyers’ licenses while those advices were given to anyone of you.

 

                                           [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

 

You shall google the entire section 37 Legal Profession Act.

There are 3 tips for you to know whether you are hiring a “liar” or a “lawyer” in Malaysia :-

1. Malaysia lawyers do  not allow to practise under Sdn. Bhd or LLP as we are only allowed to practise under partnership or sole proprietorship  till today;

 

    [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

1. You can search the name of the firm or the name of the lawyer via our Malaysia Bar website:-https://www.malaysianbar.org.my/article/find/legal-directories/lawyer-or-law-firm/lawyer-or-law-firm
2. A lawyer who possesses a law degree doesn’t mean he /she is a legally practise lawyer while he or she doesn’t exist in the website as stated in item 2 .

You pay for the  legal services and you are looking for help , you have to make sure you are looking at the  right door and the right person to serve you .

Time to bid goodbye to “liar” in our market, do not fool by those sweet talks and great marketing business skills. Your job is you have to do your own thorough research and share this knowledge among your friends and family members.

Regards,

Malaysia Lawyer

Have you set your 2021 resolutions?

 

                                           [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

I am a person who always looking forward the 1st month of every year . It is a new month that let you and me to restart a new year with new goal (s) and even new dream(s). I always start setting up my new year resolutions 2 months before the new year, because I want to be productive and do not want to waste a little second to my life in this world.How about you ?

My legal team

I will always do some research, self -evaluation including evaluating  all my legal teammates to ensure everyone will be motivated to set their own resolutions to welcome a new year .

I always set 2 kinds of goals  and i did encourage all my teammates will do the same :-

 

(A) contentment & happiness ;and

(B)accomplishments &commitments

Both in workplace and personal life as striking a balance within (A) &(B) are extremely important in everyone’s life.

Well, this year I start to focus my blogspot and i do hope that I have  my time to share about my personal life as a Divorce Lawyer in Malaysia, a managing partner inside the firm and also a leader to lead my litigation department and a co-leader in the SME legal team .

I strongly hope that  I will be more focus the improvement and the development of those young lawyers in my legal firm especially in their career path to uplift their skills and life instead of keep “focusing about my own achievements and endless breakthrough in my own career path”.

It is time to learn how to contribute, plan for others instead of being too calculative or too focus on myself from head to toe.

come on, if you have yet to set up ur resolutions, goals and plans for 2021, it is never too late for you to start it now :).

                                              [picture copyright belongs to Malaysia Divorce Lawyer]

Plan vs goal

 

I came across one of  my seniors’ insta profile  and I couldn’t agree more with her that it is good to plan ahead to everything rather than no plan.

We can change our plan when it is not workable but no matter how we shouldn’t simply change our goals.

Goals & resolutions

We shall set goals for us to move forward and resolution is a kind of methodology  to let us go nearer to our goals.

2021

It is a brand new year no matter our country is in the state of emergency and MCO is implementing in every state except Sarawak. Let us get ready to embrace the challenges ahead. Plan our new journey and embark our journey confidently .say goodbye to negative thoughts and endless fear that all of us may face in 2021.

离婚时最怕“乱”和“害怕”

                                  

不管男女， 没有人会要走到“离婚”这个终点，

不管男女， 都会思来想去，

都会设法想办法挽回或解决，

这段路没有谁不纠结不无奈不幸苦。

感情如此脆落， 有时甚至不攻自破，

好多生活里的芝麻小事，

不轻易的就都可能是感情分裂的导火线。

我呢？和你们不一样的是我被迫留下遗憾，

死神不让我纠结，不让我有机会设法挽回或解决，

我脑海里永远的记忆是在他离开前，

大家都是在感情里最美好，

对未来充满着希望的时候，被迫的画上了句点。

我想恨，但记忆太美，我想找理由怪罪他，

但所有的一切我清楚已他无关， 也许当下的他也有好多遗憾和不舍的。

人生如戏，戏如人生，

多少人翻回过往，不知觉的变成戏里的男女主角，

才叫人觉得又可悲又好笑。

有谁不心烦意乱， 有谁承担得起，

“分开”这决定，也是个终身决定？

有谁不害怕甚至特有勇气面对？

“离婚”后接下来的生活又是如何？

有孩子的就更加叫人心烦，甚至不知所措。

我当下，看到尸体从我身边被移走时，

心里从空白突然也想到如何面对接下来的生活，

害怕刚有点起步的事业，会不会就就这样没了，

情场刚落空的我，

还得承受屋子车子的贷款。

 

我当时完全不懂刚起步的事业走向如何，

一个月能换来多少钱？足不足够还贷款？

我完全迷茫， 虽然很感恩合伙人大方说律师楼的钱，

一部分让我还房贷，然而当时刚开William， Florence &Partners，

到底每月能不能足够温饱3餐还是个问号。

环境突发的改变， 害怕和混乱也是个必经过程，

当下得我也不知是怎么熬过来，

大概是那个很用心很努力的心，

都把中心全放在事业的冲吧！

有时想多了只会让自己又害怕又慌乱，

说真虽然没多少人能做到“随遇而安”和“顺其自然”，

然而往往从困境中成功找到中心点和方向，

莫过于就是自己内心接纳和领受这8个字。

如果你现在也在承受“混乱”和害怕“，

不要觉得孤独难受，

因为这种感觉有好多人都在承受或已承受过。

 

xoxo 

Lots of love
