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

Why did the late Tan Sri Megat Junid cry twice before me? – Matthias Chang

I cannot resist answering that question by suggesting, “Why is a Chinaman replacing me as Mahathir’s confidant?”

But seriously, to know more about Matthias’s take, go to his site:

Excerpt:
“But Tan Sri repeated the question and with tears welling in his eyes, said, “My greatest mistake in my political career is to recommend Badawi as successor to Mahathir. Pak Lah was not his first choice. I was told by those who wanted Badawi as successor that if anyone could convince Mahathir, it would be me. At that time, I believe Pak Lah was the correct choice. So I recommended Pak Lah to Mahathir.”

It's no use crying over spilt milk. Pak Lah or not, move on positively.

Actually, I am not really that bothered except for a few things like nepotism in the way of fighting corruption, and more rhetorics than actions to bide time which can be frustrating. For each concern, the question: Is it on or not? comes to mind. If not, please let us know asap.
