QUESTION 1 [TOTAL: 20 MARKS] (a) Sardar wrote a letter to Bulbir offering to sell his car, a MyviSE model, for RM35,000. The letter reached Bulbir on 25th December 2018. Bulbir sent his letter of acceptance at 3p.m. on the same day. Sardar later had a second thought and decided to revoke his offer. He tried to contact Bulbir by phone at 8 o'clock in the morning of 26th December 2018 but to no avail. On 27th December 2018, he went to Bulbit's house and informed him that he would like to revoke his offer. Bulbit's letter of acceptance reached Sardar on 29th December 2018. Sardar said that the letter of acceptance was void because he has already revoked his offer. Bulbir insists on buying the car and seeks your advice. Evaluate the legal position of Bulbir.
