What is a lawsuit?
A lawsuit is a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby a plaintiff seeks a legal remedy. It commences by the filing of a petition - asking the court for relief. The court issues a 'summons and statement of claim' document prepared by the plaintiff's lawyer. This document is served upon you, by handing it to you in person or by way of substituted service.
Thereon, the said matter is in the hands of the court. The court will determine whether you owe the plaintiff money, and if so how much.
If the judgement is against you, the plaintiff can use certain legal powers to force you to pay the debt or at least try.
What should I do when I am served with a summons?
You should immediately hire a lawyer to investigate and prepare your defence. For whatever reasons you may have, a lawyer should represent you, what more if you dispute owing the money, or have any valid defences or counter claims against the plaintiff.
If you fail to react fast, the plaintiff, say a bank or whoever is suing you will obtain a default judgement against you. The plaintiff wins because you didn't timely answer.
The judge will sign a court order called a default judgement saying that you owe the plaintiff whatever some of money it is.
What happens when there is a judgement against me?
A judgement is a judicial determination that you owe a plaintiff a sum of money. It's just a piece of paper and you're not going to be put in jail. But it can have serious implications upon you.
You, the defendant will then be called the debtor and the plaintiff is the creditor.
If it is a default judgement and the court couldn't serve you in person or at your last known address, it will be served by way of Substituted Service. If application is made and the court grants it, then the judgement will be published in the main newspaper. After this, if you don't pay the judgement sum, further action against you can take place.
What is a Bankruptcy Notice?
When the judgement has been 'served' and whether you knew it but keeping quiet or do not know about it, the creditor may issue a Bankruptcy Notice, asking you to pay the amount you owe within a certain period. Failure to do so, the creditor may next petition you.
What is a Creditor's Petition?
If you, the debtor has committed an act of bankruptcy, then this will entitle the creditor to present a Creditor's Petition.
And with this, a bankruptcy proceeding will take place to have you adjudicated a bankrupt and to have a receiving order passed against your assets. However, proceedings may be useful if there are assets to be recovered.
What is a Substituted Service?
A method for the formal delivery of court paper that takes the place of personal service. It means the papers are placed directly into the hands of the person to be served. Substituted Service, on the other hand, may be accomplished by posting a notice in the court and by publishing it in a local newspaper. This is valid only if certain specified procedures are followed:
What is a summary judgement?
It is a judgement rendered by the court prior to a verdict because no material issue of fact exists and one party or the other is entitled to a judgement as a matter of law. Such a judgement may be issued as to the merits of an entire case, or of specific issues in that case.
What is a default judgement?
It is a judgement entered in favour of the plaintiff when the defendant fails to appear in court.
What is out of court settlement?
It is an agreement where parties to proceedings settled or compromised all or any of the matters in issue between them without reference to the court and at any time before final judgement.

During the 1990s, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and a group of U.S. Senators organized a forum to exchange views among East Asians and Americans. Asked at one session about the role of Islam in politics, Anwar replied, "I have no use for governments which call themselves Islamic and then deny basic rights to half their population."
This devout Muslim leader was an impressive and eloquent advocate of tolerance, democracy and human rights. So we were shocked by his arrest and trial in 1998 on charges of corruption and sodomy. I felt his real "crime" had been to challenge Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, whose impressive record will be forever stained by his treatment of Anwar. I joined Senator Sam Nunn and others to speak out in Anwar's defense. When he was finally released from prison in 2004, U.S. policy on Iraq was unpopular in Malaysia, and Anwar was harshly critical. It would have been easy for him to disown our friendship, but he is not that kind of person. He kept the channels of dialogue open, even while making clear our disagreements.
Anwar, 60, is back in the center of Malaysian politics. The coalition led by his wife Wan Azizah has become the main opposition bloc. His future role can be determined only by Malaysians. One can hope that they will embrace his brand of tolerance, valuing dialogue across political differences, and that this courageous leader will continue to play a leading role on the world stage.

Bila hidup kita berkat, diri ini akan selamat.
Apabila diri selamat, rumahtangga jadi sepakat.
Apabila rumahtangga jadi sepakat, masyarakat jadi muafakat.
Apabila masyarakat jadi muafakat, negara kita menjadi kuat.
Apabila negara menjadi kuat, negara luar jadi hormat.
Apabila negara luar jadi hormat, permusuhan pun tersekat.
Apabila permusuhan tersekat, pembangunan pun meningkat.
Apabila pembangunan pun meningkat, kemajuan menjadi pesat.
TETAPI AWAS, apabila pembangunan meningkat, kemajuan menjadi pesat, kita lihat bangunan naik bertingkat-tingkat.
Ditengah-tengah itu, tempat maksiat tumbuh macam kulat. Apabila tempat-tempat maksiat tumbuh macam kulat, KETIKA ITU manusia mula mengubah tabiat.
Apabila manusia telah mengubah tabiat, ada yang jadi lalat, ada yang jadi ulat.
Apabila manusia dah jadi ulat, sembahyang makin hari makin liat.
Apabila sembahyang jadi liat, orang baik ada yang bertukar jadi jahat.
Apabila orang baik bertukar jadi jahat, orang miskin pula asyik nak kaya cepat.
Apabila orang miskin asyik nak kaya cepat, orang tua pula asyik berdo'a nak mati lambat.
Apabila orang tua asyik berdo'a nak mati lambat, tak dapat minum madu telan jerla minyak gamat.
Yang lelaki, budak budak muda pakai seluar ketat.
Semua pakat nak tunjuk kuat.
Bila berjudi percaya unsur kurafat.
Tapi hidup pula yang melarat.
Tali kasut dah tak berikat.
Rambut pun jarang sikat.
Yang perempuan pula, pakat pakai mini sekerat.
Tambah pula suka pakai baju ketat.
Suka teramat sangat menunjukkan pusat.
Hingga tak pedulikan lagi bayasan aurat.
Pakai pulak yang singkat-singkat.
Kadang-kadang ternampak benda 'bulat'.
Bila jadi macam ini, siapa lihat pasti tercegat.
Silap gaya jadi gawat, bohsia bohjan lagi hebat.
Duduk jauh berkirim surat ...
Bila berjumpa, tangan berjabat.
Kemudian pakat lawan peluk siapa erat.
Masa tu, nafas naik sampai tersekat-sekat.
Usah peduli agama dan adat.
Usah takut pada Allah dan malaikat.
Yang penting apa yang kita nak buat?
Kita 'bukti' lah kita buat.
Akhirnya perut kempis dah jadi bulat.
Apabila perut kempis dah jadi bulat,
maka lahirlah pula anak-anak yang tak cukup sifat.
Bila anak-anak tak cukup sifat, jam tu kita tengok bayi dibuang
di merata tempat.
MAKNANYA KETIKA ITU, IBLIS MULA MELOMPAT.
Dia kata apa? Habis manusia dah masuk jerat.
Habis manusia telah tersesat.
Inilah dia fenomena masyarakat.
Oleh itu wahai saudaraku dan para sahabat,
Marilah kita pakat ingat mengingat,
Bahawa dunia hari ini makin singkat,
Esok atau lusa mungkin kiamat,
Sampai masa kita semua akan berangkat! .
Berangkat menuju ke negeri akhirat.
Di sana kita akan ditanya apa yang kita buat.
Masa tu, sindri mau ingat.
Umur mu banyak mana mu buat ibadat...?
Zaman muda mu, apa yang telah mu buat...?
Harta benda anta, dari mana anta dapat...?
Ilmu anta, adakah anta manfaat...?
Semoga ianya dapat mengingatkan kita supaya segera
meninggalkan maksiat dan memperbanyakkan ibadat.
[Petikan ucapan Ustaz Hj. Akil Hayy Rawa]
Sebarkanlah ini kepada ahli keluarga, saudara-mara, rakan-rakan dan
sahabat handai kita agar masyarakat kita akan menjadi sebuah masyarakat yang bukan sahaja maju dari segi duniawi, malah ukhrawi.
Insya-Allah
