Mum, after a short shower, I have come to terms on not conflicting my promise to you, and draw up a plan for Ken's succession. As promised I shall not vie with Ken for the succession and to protect the whole family welfare, I had came up with some sort of "aggreement" that Master Soh had did when he wanted to embark on helping Dad recover what is his from his terrible siblings.

Some terms I had manage to draw up thus far:
1> If for a financial year, the company is not making consistent monthly profit without documents to show effort, commitment and dedication for remedies, the man-in-charge is required to step down immediately and his services terminated without terms.

2> The man-in-charge is to take whats left of profit as his salary. If the company is not making profit for the financial month, then man-in-charge is to draw upon his own savings or to make detailed claims to the company's fund for his own expenses.

3> The man-in-charge is allow to make drawings from the company bank account only, and is liable for all auditing discrepency and profit and losses.

4> Should the company ultimately be scheduled for closure, all rights and priveleges granted to the current man-in-charge to the company is immediately withdrawn.

5> This agreement of Oath is to validate the selected candidate for Koh Guan Chua's workshop next man-in-charge is truely keen in the operation of the business, not for personal gain.

6> The man-in-charge is responsible to all future expenses of the family, he shall not restrict the family expenses. He shall also be totally responsible to the welfare of Koh Kok Hua.

Mum the question here is that how am I suppose to allow the rulings above to be applied? And I also need to know where I stand in this situation... am I in or totally out of the picture?

On the surface, it looks like a simple "business succession" case. Some twists throw in however, is that the succession is made over a man with unstable condition to make proper decisions.

Mum. When I was involved with the business some years back, I took the role of consultant, where my goal is to introduce Sales, as a third party ~ although I was given a temp technican status and a 1200 monthly allowance. While I had failed in the 2 months attempt, I manage to trigger Mr.Lim to bring in C&C. In short, any earnings made in the process do not go to me, it still belongs to father, so at the end of the day, everyone gets a fair share.

This is now not the case of Ken. Mum. While as you had expected, Ken is taking over the workshop. But he is not stopping at that, but family affairs as well... including my affair... since when are we allow to intrude into other people's affair lest you a guardian or a parent? Not even an employer can intrude into employees' personal affair...

Will the Law allows a single person to have absolute total rule over another mentally-ill man's property? Even when there exist a father-son relationship? And more importantly Mum, is that the current family expenses is totally tied to that company's bank account.

What Law can do, in practicability, to ensure that the current necessary system processes are untouched, while ruling out those unnecessary system processes?

In short, can the Law do something to help to get my voice heard, and my concern addressed?

Bless Me Mum, for I now need it more than ever. I felt weak having to deal with own kind... and I seek your forgiveness for the inability to unite the family... for one with Karen and now Ken... I seek no excuse for my sins only your ultimost forgiveness Mum...

You know one thing Mum? Ken issue me a warning for something that has yet to occur to him. It all started when Mary told me about how messy my claims are, and how she need to recalculate again whenever I submit my claims. The question is, I made my claims every 3 months, hence, everything in summarised form, not like Ken's monthly claims. Anyway, he warned me to not to do "throw" the claims at him else he will throw them back to me. Haiz, Mum, the only good thing is that should he took over the workshop, I am supposed to be "free" from all future family expenses. Maybe thats is the only thing that can make me smile... ? Whats your say Mum?
