My family name is Law and 1st name is Eddie, hence, I chose LawEddie.com as my domain name (EddieLaw.com is not available). I was born in a very small and peaceful village in Sitiawan, which is located at about 180km from the north-west of the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur.
I received 12 years of Chinese education in Malaysia and graduated from the law school of Anglia Polytechnic Uni, United Kingdom (currently known as Ruskin Uni). Thereafter, I have obtained the legal professional practising certificate and admitted to Malaysian Bar in 2002. I practised law during the beginning of my career for several years and thereafter have been the assistant to the CEO of a IT company. I have founded www.eLawyer.com.my - a Malaysian law portal for the legal community to look for law jobs, law books, law resources, law news and many more.
My family name (Law) used to make many people to remember my profession too. Similarly, I hope this will help you to remember my blog too as one of the main topic of this blog is about the legal issues of internet, blogging and useful legal tips to our daily life e.g consumer rights, family laws, employment law…
Apart from talking about law, I will share with you some inspiring stories too, whether small or big stories. These could be my personal story, great achievement of someone or some websites, interesting stories and even my church stories.
Doing business and completing transactions on line is an irresistable trend in the near future. As such, knowing the news and significant facts of internet and E-commerce development will definitely be essential to you. I wish to share what I have learnt with you in this blog too.

Hi Eddie,
It’s great to have a lawyer like you giving free advice and sharing on the internet. I am CK from Malacca. I have lots of trouble with the cracked wall in my house. The long cracks are lcoated at upstairs, some area has a gap larger than 1 cm. The same cracks can be seen at both sides of the wall. I kept quiet because I thought the developer will not help after 18 months of warranty period. Now I am worried of the wall collapse. Do I still have the right to complain to the developer and ask for compensation, although the house is 9 years old (built in 1999)?
What can I do to get the developer to be responsible?
Thank you.
Rgds…CK

Hello Eddie,
I’m 31 and I wish to make a will. Do you know around how much it will cost me?
22 Eddie Law // Jul 9, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Hi Pinky,
The price of making a Will is depend on the complexity of the clause and the person who draft your Will. It should be around RM500.
CK- If the warranty period has expired then I am afraid it is hard to held the developer liable.

Eddie,
Just 2 comments:
1. Is your feedburner email subscription still working?
2. Your blog looks fine in IE but it’s not well optimized in FireFox. Maybe you can look at getting it fixed one of these days.

Eddie, a vital reference site for ALL bloggers. Any self-created chicklet that is freely available at your site which link to your URL? Bloggers can put it in their blogs so as to make other bloggers aware of the legal aspect of blogging.
29 Eddie Law // Sep 20, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Avantar - Thank you for your kind comment, I have fixed it.
Sarah - Thank you for your tips.

Hi Eddie,
Our company, a representative office registered under MIDA, is relocating its regional office from KL to Bangkok effective 31st Dec 2008.
Meanwhile, a retrenchment exercise has been carried out at the same time.
Here are my questions on staff retrenchment as follows:
1. Is there any need to file a retrenchement report to Labor Dept? If so, when is the deadline, which relevant dept and where to extract the necessary form?
2. To calculate the retrenchment benefits, does wages include commission, fixed allowance (in our case, it is made seperate from our salary slip)or any other renumeration apart from the basic salary?
3. If KL office ceased operation then, only one of the retrenched staff will be reappointed through a affiliated/sister company to handle some of the existing customers accounts in Malaysia and the new employment will take effect immediatelty after the retrenchment, will there be any breach of employment law here or legal complications should other staff who may want to take legal against the company if they felt being unfairly treated for not giving the job offer?
Your soonest reply is appreciated as timing is critical here.
Best regards,
31 Eddie Law // Oct 8, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your enquiry.
I assume that you must be asking from the employer prespective.
Your case involve many issues, hence, it would not be possible for me to reply you here.
I would suggest you to engage a lawyer to have a face to face consultation.
Sorry for unable to help much.

Hi Eddie Law,
I’m sooo glad that u have started a blog like this for people, like me, who is stuck with the legal procedure and don’t know where to start.
I want to file a divorce petition to my husband, but I don’t know who should I approach first, where should I go or what I should I do. (I live in KL, btw.)
I tried very hard to look for a divorcee forum/group that is available in the vicinity of KL, on the internet, but to no avail. Is there such a self-help/support group here? I strongly believe that I need one for emotional support and therapy purpose (though my family is very very helpful at the present).
Your advice is utmost crucial and invaluable to me. Thanks a lot.
Cheers, Inar.
33 Eddie Law // Oct 14, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Hi Inar,
You may engage a lawyer to help you to file divorce petition in court. Try to get your husband to consent on the divorce so that you can file a joint petition, which will save both of you a lot of time and cost.
There is a marriage reconciliation center in KL, near Jln Sultan Ismail.
If you need support and counseling you may visit http://www.family.org.my/

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. Hopefully the website u give will provide further info for what I’m looking for.
Thanks and have a nice weekend.
