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

The state of our country now


I cannot help using it as an analogy, when I read this headline in Malaysiakini:
PM: Everything is under control
updated 8.40pm 'The government is stable. The security is under control. Everything is under control. Don't believe anything you hear,' he said.

Earlier, we were told the joint military and police exercise was a coincidence. But I think the timing was alarming.

With the number of Statutory Declarations being churned out pointing fingers at PMs-in-waiting and the contradictory statements which might be incriminating being issued, maybe we should listen to just one person, the PM who has an impeccable record on saying one thing and the contrary happens.

Just read the latest by Bala who wanted his SD changed to exclude reference to DPM!
Just imagine, even with internet and sms, we are unable to keep track of the latest, what more if we were only able to rely on the mainstream media!
