JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - New Zealand were left ruing their inability to finish off South Africa as they let slip a 10-point lead to lose their Rugby Championship clash at Ellis Park on Saturday.
PETALING JAYA: The proposed Mental Capacity Act will empower Malaysians to plan in advance on the management of their property and legal decisions before they become mentally incapacitated.
As such, she said the Mental Capacity Act provides significant advantages for mentally incapacitated individuals concerning their estate and will. Lawyer Rajesh Nagarajan said unlike the Mental Health Act, where a court-appointed committee steps in only after someone is declared mentally incapacitated, the proposed Mental Capacity Act would allow individuals to take control while they still have the capacity to do so.
“It is crucial that anyone who needs to plan for their future can actually do so without having to interpret complex legal language,” he said.He also emphasised on the need to ensure those entrusted with power are held accountable.“The proposed Act should also allow for changes to be made based on differing circumstances.
“This could be due to onset of dementia, Alzheimer’s or other illness affecting mental capacity. It could also be for a specific period after surgery or if treatment requires ventilation,” it said.
