After having failed his exam in "Logistics and Organization", a student goes and confronts his lecturer about it.
Student : "Sir, do you really understand anything about the subject?"
Professor : "Surely I must. Otherwise I would not be a professor!"
Student : "Great, well then I would like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an "A" for the exam. "
Professor : "Okay, it's a deal. So what is the question?"
Student : "What is legal, but not logical, logical, but not legal, and neither logical, nor legal?"
Even after some long and hard consideration, the professor cannot give the student an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an "A", as agreed.
Afterwards, the professor calls on his best student and asks him the same question.
He immediately answers: "Sir, you are 63 years old and married to a 35 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical.
Your wife has a 25 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal.
The fact that you have given your wife's lover an "A", although he really should have failed, is neither legal, nor logical."
(The Bill to extend EC Chairman's retirement age is perfectly legal but illogical because of the people's perception of his known partiality towards the ruling party and strong objections from Bersih and the like. It was an obvious show of arrogance or desperation, depending on how one looks at it.)
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

Merry Christmas, Kosong!
Thanks BH, hope you have had a joyous one.
Sorry about the lack of communication, due to email problems like opening one (if I'm lucky, then no more as if the earlier one was a mistake!)I had to open mail using someone's computer. Thanks for your support.
Anyway, wish you and family a very happy New Year.
