Being a guarantor, especially to help out a friend in need or family member to kick start a business or someone you love to purchase a dream home. But one need to very prepare for the ultimate HEADACHE ….. you; the guarantor need to repay the loan yourself.

 

What happened to Director being the guarantor for corporate loan ?  5 quick check point before you sign on the doted line.

1.     Is the person who run the company smart, intelligent, trustworthy and fair ?

2.     Is the loan obtain beneficial for the company growth ?

3.     Can the company be able to repay the loan comfortably in the next 5 years.

4.     Is the company performance moving uptrend with secure contract ?

5.     How can the guarantor exit from the guarantee.

  

Resignation as a Director of a company does not necessarily ceased to be the guarantor's of past signed “Letter of Guarantee”. If you are not careful, one will be a subjected to feeling of betray as well as losing one own asset or hard earn money.

ARE YOU A VICTIM ?

Shah Alam High Court

Today will be a milestone in my pledge to provide free legal advice specifically on corporate related matter. Being a non legally train, it hard for others to put themselves to you and take your advice seriously. But there will be time, one can turn left and right but there is no way out.

 

Being rich does not guarantee good service, being a shrew business person does not mean you are not target of swindler, being smart does not mean you don’t fall prey on smooth talker and like I always said…… there are actually a tons of good people outside, but you will be doomed the moment you meet the one, bad one.

  

Today is a case of how another person creatively taken over a young and energetic entrepreneur, money making manufacturing business without paying a single cents. Not only he lost the entire business but saddle with huge borrowing from the bank.

Representing the defendant, we manage to secure time from the court to facilitates discussion and negotiation with others parties which my experience told me that all will come out well.

Don’t let legal jargon, fees, professional advice or going to court frighten you. We all learn everyday in our life. Tough experience make us wise and stronger.

IS MENOPAUSE AFFECTING YOUR LIFE ?

According to my physician Dr Katty, very rarely women have difficult or challenging time during on-set of menopause to the extend that she cannot handle the process and spiral out of control psychologically and physically.

Well I am one of them. HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy has been in place with initial smaller dosage has been increase double but yet the burning BBQ sensation, feverish feel are almost 24 hours a day experience. You may on full blast the air-conditioning but all you cool is your skin but not the inside oven like heat that make you tear out your hair and run for cold showers every 3 to 4 hours a day.

Targeting a peaceful night sleep is my everyday objective. Many of the techniques that I employed will be read until your eyelid has no more energy to hold it up and sleep meditation; of course pray to GOD to come to your rescue and bring peace to your sleep.

 

Not only menopause deprived me of my wonderful sleep nightly, it too decided to make my heart beat in a angry and fast manner. I fell my heart will pop out from my chest anytime. With the double dosage of HRT, luckily my heart go back to it normal function of beating softly. 

 

Suddenly one morning, I felt my neck is stiff, my head is heavy and pounding and the room seems to move like the earth on obit. Ending up in the hospital with blood pressure 180/98, the doctor quickly put me on a small dosage of hypertension medication which he assured me that with proper rest, cool my mind and body I should be out and going in 5 days time.

Hypertension is a word that worried most people and according to the doctor 30% of Malaysia population are living with hypertension. Again I am worried and went for ECG and more test. Even though all the tests signed me a clean bill of health but somehow I don’t really fell well.

 

We now tend to run through the internet for facial product, cream, lotion and ampoule to make the skin smoother and supple. We loom at the mirror everyday to check on wrinkles and drop of the cheeck. We run though the kitchen for quick DIY on heal the skin the natural way.

Psychologically I am sensitive, you know too emotional and jump to conclusion in less then one second and create volcano eruption in the family. Again I design method to calm the mind by having meditation, qigong, gardening, tons of reading and of course pray to GOD that hold my hand and please let this phase quickly be gone and done with.

It is pretty frightening that no one doctor that can diagnosed menopause and can advice the patient of what to expect next but always what already happened and how to mend it. Malaysia women has taken menopause lightly as most of us see our mother and we fell that our mother went though it without much funfare and we should too. We women rarely wanted to talk about it and take it as part and parcel of aging and life. If we women wanted a better and quality life ; a good and effective program should be in place for us to aged with comfort and confident.

My entire body just cannot move anymore. it refused to budge from the nearest seat that i manage to grab and my brain is not helping either. It started to hypnotized me to closed my eyes and go to slumber land.
