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 Democracy Tree: What will they think of next?

Why not this?

Just read the following:
Anil Netto: Democracy Tree plaque vandalised again - with road tar

Two nights ago, they smashed the edges of the Democracy Tree plaque. Kinta Kid now informs me that the plaque has been vandalised again.

This time they poured road tar on the inscription on the plaque, so that it can’t be read.
What a bunch of losers! This shows their utter contempt for any symbol of democracy.
The Staronline: Vandals hit Perak’s Democracy Tree - again

IPOH: Vandals hit the plaque under Perak’s Democracy Tree for the second time early Saturday morning by splashing a black liquid over the broken black marble slab that marked the historic State Assembly sitting under its boughs on Mar 3.
Former executive councillor Nga Kor Ming (DAP-Pantai Remis) said it had yet to be determined if it was black paint or a corrosive liquid.
However, there were video footages of the vandals targetting the plaque - both times, he said.
“We will make a police report, most likely on Monday,” he told reporters.
