The mansion fiasco


Once upon a time in a land famous for its white coffee and pomelo, live a rich old man who earns his fortune selling taugeh chicken rice. He owns a big and luxury mansion where his two wives and two sons live in with him.

The eldest son, N, is smart and hard working while the other, Z, only love to spend time and money into gambling and girls. The rich old man had always mentioned that he wanted N to inherit his fortune. Then one unfortunate day, the old man had a heart attack and he pass away. He left the world without leaving a proper will.

Now, both N (son of the first wife) and Z (son of second wife) had never been on a good term. And so after the death of their father, both start fighting for the rights to the mansion. Initially N, being the son of the first wife and the eldest, assume control of the house and the family business.

But then one fine day Z suddenly rushed into the house and declared that he should be the rightful owner. He told everyone in the house that he had a dream the night before. In the dream, the dead father told Z that he wanted to pass his fortune to him. And so Z happily took control of everything and get his dogs to chased N out of the house.

N is of course not happy. He took the case to the court. At the trial, court found that N is the one who has the right to the fortune, not Z, as it was well known before the old man died that he wanted N to inherit his fortune.

But Z was not prepared to give up easily. So he appealed to the decision of the court. And not only does he makes an appeal, he also apply to the court that he be given the right to the fortune until a decision is made at the appeal. Court says ok. So for the time being, Z maintain control of the mansion and the family business.

As for now, everyone will have to wait till court of appeal comes out with a decision. Who is going to win in the end? Who do u want to win? N or Z? Why can't they allow sms voting to decide on the issue? Haih......

I was wondering who is N and Z, and then I realized you are really talking about. It's a shame that we have to put this up front and yet again we never failed at becoming the laughing stock. Nicely done. Kudos, to the writer =D

Anon 5/13: Thank you. This story came out when I was trying to explain the situation to my friend.

Anon 5/16: Thanks for the compliment. I used to be amazed at the way the lawmakers from Taiwan fights in their parliament. Not anymore. We have got them beaten in terms of entertainment. Malaysia Boleh!
