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

Khairy, Khairy, Quite Contrary; What lah, Kalimullah?

I am amazed how some people could criticize others when they were in a worse situation than those they criticized.

Recently, Khairy was reported to have complained that the ACA was slow in investigating alleged corruption in the Kelantan state administration.

Hello? Are you new here or from outer space? We have a huge backlog of corruption reports involving VVIPs who naturally belong to the BN camp, which have yet to see the light of day!

Then, he criticized Nik Aziz as a Chief Minister who did not know what was going on and had to rely on Husam Musa. So Husam Musa decided on many matters without having to consult Nik Aziz! Oh dear! Sounds familiar indeed. Change the scenario to Malaysia as a country and the position becomes Prime Minister and whom did the PM rely on? Substitute ‘Husam’ with ‘Khairy’ and we have a bigger ‘de facto’ personality.

Kalimullah’s ‘Live your dreams before it’s too late’ quoted from Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s speech ‘I have a dream’:

“I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.”

“I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.”

Coming from a beneficial crony of Umno, a racist political party, practising racism and racial discrimination, what was his intention in quoting from such a beautiful speech? To show his scholastic ability or to show that Umno or Malaysia should have a similar dream?

50 years after independence, our sons of Ketuanan and our sons of immigrants are still unable to sit down together at a table of brotherhood; and Malaysia has yet to be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

So, what exactly are you trying to imply?
