How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Does management know their staff?

Some 20 years ago, I visited a brother in Wisma MBA. On the way up, in the lift, I recognized Tan Sri Low’s sister, Judy Tan and wished her “Good morning”.

Not knowing who I was, she looked at me sternly, thinking I was one of the staff, and said, “You’re late.”

On walking into the factory, the MD noticed a young guy leaning against the wall, doing nothing. He approached the young man and calmly said to him, "How much do you earn?"

The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such a personal question, he replied, nonetheless, "I earn $2000 a month, Sir. Why?"

Without answering, the MD took out his wallet and removed $6000 cash and gave it to the young man and said, "Around here I pay people for working, not for standing around looking pretty! Here is 3 months'salary, now GET OUT and don't come back."

The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight.

Noticing a few onlookers, the MD said in a very upset manner, "And that applies to everybody in this company". He approached one of the onlookers and asked
him, "Who's the young man that I just fired?"

To which an amazing reply came, "He was the pizza delivery man, Sir!!!"
