Native Court Judge scolded ex-husband that even birds know how to feed their chicks: - Case 226/13

Case heading: Not paying sustenance cost for 3 children since divorce was formalised in court

Plaintiff:  Parents of ex-wife
Defendant: Mr Wong, ex-husband
Open Hearing: 11 September 2013

Plaintiff's testimony:

1. The father of former wife (who was not present in court) informed the court that the defendant had not paid a cent since the divorce was formalised where the court had fixed the rate to be paid
2. Three of his children aged 16, 15 and 13 all are attending schools have been staying with him and wife for 9 years and both he and wife have been bearing the cost of raising the children
3. The defendant and his daughter were married at Terawi Church in 1996 and split due irreconcilable differences. They have been seperated for 10 years
4. The amount owed has now totalled 60 thousand RM
5.  Sadly his own daughter who is working in Kuala Lumpur seemed to have washed her hands over her own children too.

This prompted the judge to scold the defendant that even adult birds know how to feed their chicks and added that the mother (ex-wife) should also share the responsibility in raising the kids.

6. Plaintiff last statement was that he also have difficulty contacting his daughter in KL.

Defendant's respond:

As usual the judge made sure he had heard and understood all the statement from the plaintiff and made him signed that statement.

The judge then asked the defendant why "Janji tidak ditepati" ( meaning promised not fulfilled, which is a play on the government's slogan of "Janji ditepati" = all promises fulfilled)

The defendant gave two idiotic reasons, economic problems and that his girlfriend is controlling him and money.
This prompted another scolding and he was told to kick out his girlfriend.

The Native Court solved the problem simply by ordering the man to give details of his employer and that a court order will be issued to the employer to deduct the proper amount from his salary to include installments on the RM60 K arrears.

( Moral of this case:  Don't just get married but never learn to be responsible over your own children. As the judge said, if the birds know how to look after their chicks, then what kind of a human being is it that simply abandoned their own kid? )

SUPPORTING  the judge's comment, here is a pic of birds feeding their chicks,  heeee hawwww.
