Witdrawing from private limited company

Two friends and I invested some money and incorporated a Sendirian Berhad. A fourth person who is a relative of the other two was appointed as an employee and the relationship between the two directors and myself has deteriorated. I wish to withdraw from the company but the two of them wish to pay me only what I paid as initial capital. The business has grown and I feel I should be able to enjoy part of the growth. How do I go about getting my dues from the company if I resign as a director and from the business?

Shareholder benefits & dividens

I'm an employee of a company and recently as a shareholder also of the private limited company. I'm holding the 10% share of the company but also the smallest share among all the shareholders. May I know what kind of benefits I should have as a shareholder of the company but not a director.

Need clarification

I need some clarifications on this matter. I was a Director in a Sdn Bhd but resign in May 2006. As the company couldn't find a director to rpelace me during that time, I am only being released in August. The problem now is the Company has not been paying salaries and EPF of the staff in June until August.

I would like to know whether I am liable for this if EPF or the staff were to take action against the company as I was still the director during that period.

Hope to get some advice from experts out there.

Skin Care Product Complaint II

My sister found the quality of her cleansing milk changed after using for few months and refer it to the beauty house. The beauty house rejected the complaint with reason they wont responsible for any quality claim after 30days frm purchase date. She also claimed that there is nothing wrong with the product, just minor change due to product is not kept in fridge. She finally agreed to pass the defective product to the sales rep during the visit for further test.

The product is with her now til the sales rep visit her after cny. I am not sure if it is right thing to do to let her keep the product now, and also worry if she rejected again without returning the product to my sis. By that time, my sis will not hv any evidence with her if not satisfied with the reply. wld like to hear some professional advice in this case.

Breach of contract

Hi,

I am 4th year, currently studying medicine. I am receiving sponsorship and the contract stipulate 10 years of my service to the government once I have graduated. I am very grateful for the oppurtunity of learning that I have received. However, I am facing a difficult situation deciding for my future career and 'family issues'. I might have to breach the contract and work in the UK once I complete my studies ( this for many reasons, mainly future family matters ) . In regards to this, I have a few questions that perhaps could be answered by you.

I have enquired my sponsor and they informed me that there's no means of negotiation apart from 60 days of " repayment claim " ( this include everything that I have received for the whole 5 years ) if a contract is breach. Could this be renogiated further because the sum that I might have to end up paying is approximately RM 1M.? I asked about monthly repayment but they did not give this option...
Also does it make any difference if I come back to serve for about 2 years and then breach the contract after? ... Will I then be able to repay my sponsor monthly ? The only confusion is that I have heard of similar case in regards to my situation, but this person was allowed to repay in monthly installments. Lastly, can i negotiate with my sponsor to not file a sue to my guarantors, but to me if they have to? Is there any possibilities of negotiating the repayment matter before I breach the contract as to avoid being sued etc. ? So far they have not stated any penalty clause but I am sure it is about RM 160 000.

Hope to receive some advice.

How to get collection unreasonable client

I am an freelance interior designer with a registered company. I have a client introduced by my brother. In the 1st meeting, me and my brother went to the client house to measure the house so that I can plan and design accurately. I told him the design and drawings will takes 7 days and I will call him for the next meeting. Then, the 2nd meeting, I submitted my design and drawings to him so that he can consider and imagine his house with his family. On that day, after I had presented my ideas and advice to him, I ask him to acknowledge the drawings and design given to him. He likes my design and ask me for the quotation fast. After giving him my quotation, he was not happy with the price and ask me to knock down the cost and I did twice and faxed to him. Another week, when I ask for him whether he confirm the job, he says our price not favourable to him and I just tell him to get another contractor to do for him BUT I will charge him the interior design fees to him. He ask me to fax the bill to him and ask me to give him a discount. I was not agree with him and wait for his reply. After another week, I ask him to collect my fees, he said I was unfair to charge him the fees and will discuss with his wife.

I think this client is running away and expects FREE consultation. Moreover, his wife also a lawyer. And before its happens, he told me that he takes my plan and lets other contractors for a quote. In the interior design industry, I have many, many experiences with these people and intend to run away with our valued drawings and NO return.

What shall I do?
Are we protected by the Malaysian Law?
