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
Government fed by the people

Justice delayed is justice denied...
Did I detect some delay on purpose?
Anwar's clip was partly revealed to the public. Pressure from the opposition and the public resulted in a quick fix panel of three to soothe things over. Report given to cabinet panel of three with legal experience (one of them had difficulty saying 'discharge not amounting to acquittal' when interviewed on tv in connection with another case) and then to the full cabinet to decide on Royal Commission.
Royal Commission includes two judges mentioned in clip, so it is going to be a bit tricky there. One of the three on the earlier panel actually declined re-appointment which gives rise to speculation as to his reason which cannot be due to being too busy.
Since the police started using water canons, Lim Kit Siang is influenced to say the IPCMC has been watered down to something without bite.
Though PM insists on wanting to hear (but not listen?) from us, free advice given by the opposition is a definite no-no.
Meanwhile, we just have to wait and see. I am not excited to know the outcome.
