Hi, I have a query. I co-owned a flat in Woodlands with both my parents. They moved in to the flat in 2002 same period when I got enlisted for NS, in August. In 2005 after NS, I moved out of the house due to a conflict between me and my mother. Well, all my siblings chose to side her due to filial piety. Now 15 years later, they refused to sell the house. I have tried writing in to HDB many times, went down to meet HDB officers personally etc, but cannot. My elder brother informed me before that I can just go to HDB to remove my name (as informed by his so-called Housing agent friend). HDB said otherwise. Right now, they are not able to afford the house, so they ended up renting the place since 2018. All along they kept this information from me. I found out as i need to file for income tax annually. When I logged onto the HDB website, I indeed saw the rental records. What can I do to remove my name from the house? Does my parents have any legal obligation to inform me of the rental? Am I obliged to pay for the property tax when I am not staying there? I do not dare to go back there due to a few factors. 1. I was previously threatened by my elder brother that he will punch my face 2. A couple of times I went back, and got the door slammed onto my face by my mother. What should I do? What can I do?

For traffic violations that result in 1 week jail term, is there any way to appeal to request for probation instead? The accused did not seek legal advice previously as we didn't expect the severity of the case.
You can appeal against a 1-week jail term if you are still within the period for appealing but it is most unlikely that you will succeed in the appeal. You must also appeal for a stay of sentence pending the appeal.

I just went into CVS pharmacy to buy a drink (Starbucks Coffee) drank it and went on my hike. An hour an a half into my hike, had horrible stomach pains to the point where I soiled myself because there were no restrooms around. Got home and still experiencing pains. Decided to check the sell by date on the coffee as that's the only thing I've had and it's half a month past due. It's embarrassing and I went through hell. What can I do besides just a refund? I'm absolutely furious because not only did my new girlfriend witness all of this but it's scarring to myself now.

Subsidiary company has been voluntarily deregistered. However there was an incident at a development of subsidiary company that showed that some of the work is not properly done Letter was written to the sub property. While investigations were still Ongoing by the claimant the detegiststion was completed. Can we sue the parent company? Parent company has written back that they are not liable
Dear Sir/Ms The answer depends on the nature of the process of deregistration of the subsidiary. There is a need to find out I there was fraud or misrepresentation or any wilful oversight of lawful steps in the process. We also need to know who had oversight of the process and if there was any liquidator tasked to manage the process. You may want to call me ,Subra at 93834205.
