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

If you're not going to speak up, how is the world supposed to know you exist? “Orang boleh pandai setinggi langit, tapi selama ia tidak menulis, ia akan hilang di dalam masyarakat dan dari sejarah.” - Ananta Prameodya Toer (Your intellect may soar to the sky but if you do not write, you will be lost from society and to history.)

Wise words since Confucius...

On Marriage:
Don't marry the person you want to live with, marry the one you cannot live
without... but whatever you do you'll regret it later.
You can't buy love ... but you pay heavily for it.
Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is the husband!
My wife and I always compromise. I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with me.
It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.
They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak.
Having one child makes you a parent; having two makes you a referee.
A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school uniforms.
Saving is the best thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.

on Friendship:
True friends stab you in the front.
Forgiveness is giving up my right to hate you for hurting me.
Real friends are the ones who survive transitions between address books.

and generally:
Regular naps prevent old age... especially if you take them while driving.
They said we should all pay our tax with a smile. I tried - but they wanted cash.
Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others.
Ladies first. And then pretty ladies first.
Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something.
