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

Put your arm on my shoulder...


The Star, Jan 19, front page quoted Tun Eusoff Chin: “When the man puts his hand on your shoulder, you can’t simply shove it aside” yet the famous picture next to it shows his left hand on Lingam’s shoulder! So it looks more like Lingam unable to shove it aside instead!

Tun Dr. Mahathir has been known for his excellent memory and sharp mind, yet when questioned, he could not remember most details. We are fortunate that he was fit to be questioned after his recent operations and most people hope the RCI would unravel some truth, if not all. It was ironic that on the one hand, the Chairman asked people to come forward, yet Lingam’s brother, Karasu is not welcome!

Most people could not stand VK Lingam’s evasiveness to the last minute – what a contrast to his boastful, ‘I put him there’ – serves him right.

Whatever the outcome of the RCI, the display of the answers given to the questions by each, tells us much about a person’s character.
