The WA government has proposed a WA Code of Conduct (WA Code) to

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
It is expected that the WA Code will provide substance in

in WA will have to abide by the terms of the WA Code once it is published.<o:p></o:p></div>

Both landlords and tenants may apply to the Small Business
Commissioner to resolve via mediation a dispute that has arisen out of the
operation of the Act, including a code of conduct dispute and a financial
hardship dispute. If the dispute is unresolved, the matter may be referred to
the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT). <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
A <i>financial hardship dispute</i> means a dispute where the
tenant has breached the lease by failing to pay rent or other monies payable to
the landlord, the landlord claims the breach was not a result of the tenant
suffering financial hardship and the landlord has not granted a rent waiver,
deferral or reduction to the tenant. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
If
the SAT is satisfied that the tenant's breach is not a result of the tenant
suffering financial hardship, the SAT has a wide range of powers in granting
relief to the landlord, including termination of the lease and equitable
remedies.<o:p></o:p></div>

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a widespread economic
downturn and it is an important time to support each other via open dialogue

Dear friends and clients,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These are challenging times. WA is on a partial lockdown of
all but essential services.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At Tan and Tan Lawyers, we have kept a keen eye on making
sure that there is social distancing when clients come to the office. We are
also constantly disinfecting our office open surfaces.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To further improve our services, we have now progressed to
giving a drive-through notary service.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are concerned about your health but still require
documents to be notarised, please call our offices for a drive -through notary
service.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The process will be:</div>

Mr Tan's notary seal on the document.</div>

6/78 Terrace Rd, East Perth WA at the appointed time where Mr Tan will meet
you.</div>

Take further note that any documents that
need to be apostilled or authenticated at the Department of Foreign Affairs,
can only be done by post.</div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Are you interested in buying a
business? If you are, consider the following points carefully as it can save
you a lot of money and heartache.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">For those
of you who are contemplating buying a business, I have the following 10 points
for you to consider:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">1. Never
sign any offers to buy any business until you have received legal advice. The
lawyer should help to draft your conditions of purchase that will protect you.
If you see the lawyer after signing the contract to purchase, it will be too
late to make changes to protect you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">2. Always
ensure there is a clause to allow your accountant to check the figures. That
makes sure that the business income is as represented by the seller. You will
be surprised how often I get complaints from a buyer that they have been
cheated by the seller as the turnover of the business has been exaggerated by
the seller.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">3. Make a
list of all assets that come with the
business. If the photocopier, vehicles or coffee machine are supposed to be
included, make sure it is listed in the schedule. Find out if there is any equipment that has been leased and repayments are still needed to be made by the
seller.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">4. Ensure
that you have a clause to allow you to opt out of the contract if the lease
terms are not favourable. There is no point in buying a business if the lease
for the premises is going to expire soon. Make sure you get your lawyer to read
the existing lease terms to make sure that the terms are favourable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">5. Ensure
that any employees that are going to continue to work with you have all their
long service and other leave benefits paid out. If you do not check this point,
you could end up paying a lot of money for a liability which is the
responsibility of the seller.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">6. Have a
clause that allows you to check the business turnover just before you purchase
the business. That means you want to sit
in at the business and see if the customers are really spending as much as the
seller tells you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">7. If the
business is a franchise, make sure that the contract is subject to your lawyer
approving the franchise terms. You should also ensure there is a clause that
the purchase is subject to the franchisor taking you in as a franchisee on terms that you are happy with.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">8. If you
are borrowing money to purchase the business, make sure that you update the
vendors regarding the finance approval. There should be a clause that states
that if finance is not approved within a certain time, you can get out of the
deal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">9.
Discuss with your accountant what business structure you are going to use. This
should be done before you even make any offers. Your accountant should advise
you on what is the best tax structure you should use bearing in mind the income
of the business.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"><br />
10. Ensure that you are happy with your settlement date. Will everything be ready by then?<br />
<br />
There are many other minor details which can make your purchase a breeze. When
in doubt, speak to a lawyer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Australia, an Enduring Power of Guardianship ("EPG") is a legal
document that authorises a person of your choice to make important personal,
lifestyle, and treatment decisions on your behalf should you ever become
incapable of making such decisions yourself. This person is known as an
enduring guardian. An enduring guardian can be authorised to decide about
matters such as where you live, the support services you have access to, and
the treatment you receive. An enduring guardian cannot be authorised to make
property or financial decisions on your behalf.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Like the Enduring Power of Attorney, you need to
decide who is the best person to decide for you. If in doubt, speak to a
lawyer. The appointed ensuring guardian may decide that they do not want to
allow a friend or a relative to visit you in your nursing home. Choose your
enduring guardian with great care. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

medical personnel about the treatment you want or do not want to receive if you
ever become incapacitated and incapable of communicating your wishes. The
treatments include medical, surgical, palliative and dental care. It also
includes life sustaining measures. These are decisions that may be crucial, and
you need to decide who is to make those decisions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">An advance health care directive is ineffective after
death. Therefore, you cannot record your wishes about organ donation in such a
document.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, you have to agree to
be appointed as an attorney before the appointment can be effective. Sometimes,
the Enduring Power of Attorney ("EPA") also states that the
appointment will only take effect after a declaration is obtained from the
State Administrative Tribunal ("SAT") stating that the donor is
incapable of making decisions for themself. The SAT then makes an order that
you are now legally the attorney for the donor or the person who appointed
you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is advisable to discuss your
proposed actions with the donor if the donor is still able to provide a view or
opinion even if they have lost capacity. So for example, if you think you
should move the donor to a nursing home, you may still wish to bring the donor
to a few of the proposed homes to see the donor's reaction. Sometimes, you may
also wish to discuss your proposed course of action with other family members
of the donor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once you are appointed, it is
best to check that you have obtained all the relevant financial information
relevant to the donor. You should also check what expenses the donor has so as
to make sure the expenses are managed properly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If you are unsure as to what
needs to be done for your donor, do speak to a lawyer for advice. It may be
that an application may need to be made to SAT for directions if you are
uncertain as to whether your proposed action is proper.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Wills
and estate planning<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">One of the most
interesting aspects of my job is taking instructions from my clients when they
are doing their estate planning. It is great to discuss with my clients how
they have accumulated their assets and what plans they have to ensure that the
assets are passed on to their beneficiaries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In many relationships,
the husband and wife (or de facto partners) usually see me to give me
instructions for a mutual will. Very often, the parties say to me " If I
die, I wish to give everything to my spouse". That sounds so great and
loving. Both spouses will look at me with a smile and say they both agree.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I then tell them to
consider this: If you have children and you give everything to your spouse, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">especially if the children are still young, what could possibly happen?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Well, your spouse could
possibly remarry in the future. If they remarry, the new spouse will have a
claim on the whole estate to the detriment of the children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This is where it gets
interesting as I get different responses from each spouse. Suddenly it clicks
in the wife's brain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">"Oh yes, my husband
will definitely quickly marry a pretty young blonde. My children will lose
out"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The husband often has a
different view thinking his loving wife will remain single after his death,
mourning the loss of him, her beloved husband. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I did have such a case
where I acted for a client whose husband and my client used to go on cruises
every year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The husband passed away
and I was told by my client that she still continued going on cruises with her
husband even after his death. Perplexed, I asked her how was that possible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">She told me that his
ashes were in an urn which she brought on her cruises. "Wow" I said.
"You must really have loved your husband".<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then asked her what she does on the cruises
and she said she goes dancing. I did not ask her more. Suffice to say, 6 months
later she came to see me to prepare a new will as she was going to marry
someone she met on the cruise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So, you never know where
love will lead you. However, see a lawyer for advice regarding your will to
prepare you for where your love leads you. A lawyer should be able to guide you
to the best way to ensure your assets are protected and gifted properly to the
ones you love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Dear Readers</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Are you experiencing
elder abuse?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
What is elder abuse?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's where the children of parents are
unwilling to await their inheritance. They instead try to abuse their parents
in different ways to try and get their dirty hands on their parent's <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">money before the death of their parent</span>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Recent reports indicate that up
to one in five older Western Australians are suffering from elder abuse.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I believe that the Korean
community being a new migrant group may not have many elders within their
midst. <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">However</span>, if they have elders in
their family, the children need to be aware of any possible elder abuse by
their siblings.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Elder abuse is <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">such a bad problem</span> that a recent National Elder
Abuse Annual Report was done. It found that 32.2% of perpetrators are the older
person's son and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>30.7% are the person's
daughter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Experts believe that that is only
the tip of an iceberg with many cases going unreported.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So what kind of abuse are our
poor seniors suffering from:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
(a) abuse of enduring power of
attorney given to relatives.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
(b) emotional abuse by preventing
parents from having contact with other children.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
(c ) slapping or even burning
parents.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
(d)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>over medicating or under medicating. Why? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
With a hope that the parent's
life will be shortened so that the children get their hands on their
inheritance faster.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The list goes on and it saddens
me when I have to face these cases in my practice. However, I <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">feel strongly</span> about issues of parental abuse
more than anything else in my practise of law. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Being a traditional Asian brought
up to respect and honour my parents, such cases touches a raw nerve in my body.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Elder abuse could happen by
placing your father in an all English speaking nursing home instead of one
where the staff speaks the language that your father only understands and where
there are residents of the same cultural background.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I am in the midst of a case where
an enduring power of attorney was given to a son. The son is now trying to sell
the family home and stopping the father from seeing the other children.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
An enduring power of attorney is
a document that authorises your attorney to deal with your assets. Very often a
parent <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">decides</span> that they DO NOT have the
mental capacity to deal with their property matters any more. They then give
the enduring power of attorney to a son or daughter. The child then <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">takes</span> advantage of the authority given by their
parents and proceed to sell assets of the parent so that they can access the
funds of the parents.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
An enduring power of guardianship
is an authority given to someone to make decisions for you in regards to life
style choices <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">like:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">(a)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->where
you live, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">(b)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->what
medical treatment you get, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">(c)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->who
you are allowed to spend time with.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Hence, it is important that you
see a lawyer to discuss your rights especially in whether an enduring power of
attorney or guardianship should be given to any child.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If you believe any seniors <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">are </span>being abused, you should report the matter
to <a href="http://www.advocare.org.au/">www.advocare.org.au</a><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For parents. they should think
hard about whom they are giving their enduring power of attorneys or enduring
power of guardianships to. Seek legal advice to protect yourself.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
On 16/9/19, I have to take the most difficult flight back to Singapore as I have received the news that my mum has passed away the day before. How do you thank someone that has given birth to you, have been there nurturing you and doing all that she can to ensure that you have a good education? As I sat on the plane, I took out my laptop and started to type the memories that I have of my dear mum. It brings many tears but also many laughter as I think of the time that I have spent with her whenever I go back to Singapore to visit her and to celebrate her birthdays.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
How do I feel? - Some regrets that said that maybe I should have fly back to Singapore and spent more time with her. Regret that maybe I should have booked a ticket home when I heard that she was in the hospital. Regrets that I should have gone back more often or call her more often. Calling was not ideal as she does not know who she is talking to because she is suffering from dementia. Before she had dementia, when I called her and told her that I am the daughter from Australia, she would ask me when I am coming back. She will then ask when. When I told her at the end of the year to celebrate her birthday, she would ask what month is now and she will always comment, “so long more.”</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Mum loves to knit before she had dementia. She loves to knit booties and hand gloves for her grandchildren. Every grandchild has a pair. My sister was very smart to keep some for her future grandchildren. Now, why didn’t I think of this? She loves knitting scarves for all of us especially those living in Australia. She has knitted many scarves which I have given to my friend to bring to Nepal to give to the poor. As her memory worsens, her scarf that she knitted were either too long or too short, but she always knitted with so much love. Each one of our houses has a knitted tissue box cover lovingly knitted by her.</div>

My mum loves handicraft of any sort. She even made one handbag by carefully stringing together bead by bead. She has made coin purses for us using very tiny beads. It is something that I will always treasure. She had excellent eyesight and great patience to slowly string together these tiny beads. She has learned how to fold magazine paper to make pencil holders, swan, containers. She has also used wrapping paper and cardboard to make beautiful boxes that we could store our trinkets in.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Mum used to sew a lot as it was her livelihood to supplement the income of my dad who was a taxi driver. As children, we would help her to cut the thread off the garments and help her to tie up piles and piles of garments. When she is sleepy, she will have a container of water next to her to wet her eyes so that she can continue sewing. I used to help her to bring the garments to the factory where she will beg the owner for more garments so that she can sew to support us. She showed so much love and resilience because of her love for her children.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When I started my first job, it was only 5 minutes from my home. I would go home each day for lunch with a hot meal lovingly prepared by my mum and then have half an hour of beauty nap before I return to work. When I became a Christian, my mum knew that I would not eat food that has been offered to her gods and that I would instead prefer to go hungry. Due to her great love for me, she would tell me when I return home from work that she had set aside for me dishes that she had not offered to her gods so that I can eat it. She even tells me which is the food has been offered to her gods and told me not to eat it. The love that my mum had for me knows no bounds.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I remembered that one day when I was working after a year of completion of my “A” level, I was made aware of the opportunity of taking a day release course in the Singapore Polytechnic. I did not have the money to take the course. I was just telling my mum about the course and she encouraged me to take the course and that she will pay for it. My mum is one person that believes in the importance of education. She did only 1-2 years of education and so did my dad. However, she sent all her children to English schools. So, though she has never studied English before, However, she always tells us, “Don’t think I don’t know what you are saying in English. I understand everything.” Though she is not confident in speaking English, yet she understands English very well. She loves to learn and sometimes when the grandchildren are learning Mandarin, she would also take part in the recitation and writing as well. If my mum had the opportunity to be educated, I am sure that she will be very successful in everything that she does.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Mum was sewing all my dresses until I was married. We used to go shopping together. She would help me to choose clothes for me to try in the changing room. If I come across a dress or blouse that I liked, she will examine the garment inside outside and then confidently she will tell me that I don’t need to buy for she will make one for me! I always have the latest fashion. As mum has never had formal training as a seamstress, so she will let me wear what she had sewed and then made adjustments so that it fitted me exactly. My regret is that I have never taken up sewing as I prefer cooking. When I was in high school during the Home Economics class, I had to learn to sew a skirt. I was not very good at it and my mum was the one that finished the skirt for me! Mum loves sewing so much that she asked me whether I wanted a sewing machine as a dowry or a TV. Of course, I chose the TV which lasted for more than 20 years (Now, they don’t make TV like what they used to!!).</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When I was pregnant, I have a craving for anything sour and spicy. My favourite is my mum’s Assam Pedas cooked with small pomfrets. My mum is a Baba so she is very good at cooking Baba dish, though compared with her sister, she said that she is the worst cook. She taught me how to cook many Hokkien dishes such as braised pork, popiah, etc. I did never learned how to make Bak Chang though. Nyonya Bak Chang and popiah are my mum’s favourite. She always feels that what she has eaten in Perth is not up to her standard. She loves her Nyonya buah keluak. Again, she attests that only my brother in law’s buah keluak is the best.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
My mum did my confinement after I have given birth to my son. She taught me how to hold the baby’s head while washing the hair and how to blurp him. My mum showered so much love on me and that includes ensuring that I bathe with some onion and herbs at the end of the confinement period so as to get rid of any wind in my body so that I will not suffer from rheumatism when I am old.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When my family decided to migrate to Australia, my mum even flew in with us on our first emigration flight to ensure that we settle in. She even gifted us some money to start our new life in Perth. Such is the love of my mum!!!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
As mum grew older, she had to use a wheelchair. Whenever I visited her, she would say that she wanted to go downstairs and “walk walk”. Bringing her for a walk include bringing her to the market to eat her favourite century egg porridge and sugar cane drink. Mum loves anything that is cold. She loves coke even more. This love of coke runs from her to me and to my son! After eating, we would buy another takeaway of porridge and sugar cane drink.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Mum liked Western food as well. She loves her KFC and her Swenson’s ice cream. I would bring her to the KFC in Jurong but because the outlet is not wheelchair friendly, I have to rely on some kind soul to help me lift up the wheelchair. I have always managed to find a cheerful helper. Her favourite is the KFC chicken drumsticks and of course the cold soft drink (preferably Coke or Pepsi). I would ask her to take out the skin as it is too hard and not healthy, but she insisted on eating the skin as she said that is the best part. It gives me much joy to see her enjoying KFC with her cold drink.</div>
<div style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; margin-top: 6px;">
When I look at her lifeless body in the coffin, I don’t want to remember her that way, but I want to remember all the good memories of her and to cherish her love for me. Mum, I will see you again one day in heaven. This is just a temporary goodbye and I love and miss you so much.</div>

Thanks for writing this lovely note of mum’s love for her children. Lets not forget her love for her 24 grandchildren and 10 Great grand children. Although, I have grieved at her funeral, I have yet to fully shed enough tears for our loss. Your writing today brought more tears to my eyes as I realise I have yet to have fully cried for our loss.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Many of my friends have not even been told of our loss and I did not think it was something to post on Facebook as I bel<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ieve it is a private matter to be shared by the family.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
However after reading your words , I felt I had to share your feelings and your beautiful words for Mum.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We were all so lucky, the 10 children, to have felt her love.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We have to thank our siblings in Singapore who looked after her, especially Lawrence and Irene and Noor.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We know that she was loved by her sons in law and daughters in law too.</div>

Grandson Wang Yang said she had 3 golden eras after dads passing 31 years ago.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When she lived with Seng and Chuck Mui. When she lived in Perth especially the times with my mother in law at Burswood. And then with Lawrence and Irene and daughters in her last few years.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I will always treasure and remember how she brought us up through tough times.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Her pawn tickets that she had from pawning her jewellery to feed us will always have pride of place in my office conference room.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We all know she will be missed by the family. Love you mum.</div>
