Desperately Seeking Help for my Brother

[Rosie1958]

Thank you Terpe for the additional advice which is much appreciated. A distant relative of mine told me yesterday that they actually have a contact in the foreign office (who coincidently is filippina) and is trying to find out whether they'd be able to help in any way.

I am now dealing with 5 different countries in this nightmare and I am currently trying to find out whether a Duty of Care exists between the dutch company my brother was working for in India and himself but this is proving very difficult and I can't afford to pay for advice from an international employment law specialist.

I am also now having to consider liquidating assets held at their home in Malaysia to raise funds to pay for medical fees (mainly a car). Although I am next of kin, I don't hold power of attorney so I am not sure where to even begin since my brother is totally incapacitated ............

I have to say that I am totally in awe of this forum and the helpfulness of those that use it, what a fabulous crowd you are!! I have always had a great affection for Filippino people and now that I have found you, I will become a regular visitor to this site in between trying to find help for my brother and working full time.

So, thank you to everyone for your interest and kind helpfulness, which is VERY much appreciated.

Rosie, your kind words must surely be appreciated by every member who has seen this thread.
Obviously any of us have helped where we can, and others will sympathise even if they can't advise you.
But what impresses me is how polite, considerate, and appreciative you have been, while obviously under pressure.
All best wishes to you.
