The immigration Criminal Case

Dad is committed to help one of his foreign workers caught by authorities for not having his papers with him while on a walk to the grocer for a pack of rice. When caught under such circumstances, it is knotty. The process is tedious and time consuming and dad has been in and out of the police station  for the last few days but in vain. So we were told that it is named a criminal case. It also means things have to be settled in court proper.

In Muar, I could do nothing but pray. So, since this is the first of its kind that we are going through I wonder at the solution.Who do we turn to for help? Is it just a simple presentation or something more than that?

When we raise children and lead them to a line of studies, we only ask that they do well and be acknowledged at the work place. That they be seen as conscientious and a hard player. All that they have been nurtured on and values passed down be practiced. But today it is surely rewarding to taste of your own fruit. Today, dad sought the help of Sara. As I have said, small in frame, she surely rose up to the occasion.

I was told that she presented the case on behalf of dad to the prosecutor and after the formal proceedings, the foreign worker's documents were to be further identified and verified by immigration authorities for the next hearing. Though we wished the case could be resolved, the formal steps need to be adhered to. There is law and order here...so the next hearing is to be a fortnight later.

But today it was a relief to have the lawyer in the home. We never knew it could come in so handy. Just as it is good to have an architect in the home who can sketch and design in tandem with dad's vocation. Yes. It is good to have the professionals in the home. It really is handy when a need arises.

So, Sara, in appreciation of your timely help, mama is coming home with your favourites from good old Muar tonight.

The Teochew kueh of your choice. Even the vendor says he has not raised the price of the goods though the ringgit has fallen to US4. I told him while in the motherland we do not compare. We should choose not to leave the nation in this season and time.
 Stay home I told him.

 Scour the beauty of the local scene.

This is also your favourite. Mee Siput. I have searched high and low for the best taste.
Yes there are many versions and I believe I have got a good find.
So, eat to your heart's content.

Thumbs up to you Sara.

Thank you for taking leave and seeing to dad's needs.

The lawyer in the home.
