Tan Kah Fatt & Tan Sin Yee v Tan Ying

The Federal Court of Malaysia heard an appeal concerning the inheritance rights of Tan Sin Yee, an illegitimate child, under the Distribution Act 1958. The case also addressed the removal of Tan Kah Fatt as a co-administrator of the estate of Tan Kah Yong, deceased. The Court ruled that Tan Sin Yee, as an 'issue' of the deceased, was entitled to inherit under the Act, and the removal of Tan Kah Fatt as co-administrator was set aside.
