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 only Raja Petra had listened to me...

well, I did not tell him directly but through my post in this blog on Feb.19, 2008, ‘Can a Loose Cannon be fired to give Anwar a by-election?’, which was mentioned in Malaysiakini in Blogs for a few days then.

He could have been elected either MP or ADUN or even both, and then have the luxury of resigning for Anwar to stand. In order not to fool the people, he could have made known this fact and I am sure the results will be a resounding ‘YES YB’. He could have been an elected representative and resign which suited him and helped Anwar without sacrificing another.

Well it was certainly news to me that DAP had actually offered him to contest in Perak which would have made him Menteri Besar, a post which would have made him lose more hair, if he has any left.

I think he is so individualistic that he cannot work with any group for long because of his inherent dislike for conformity, which made him unique. YM, please take this as a compliment!
