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

Ominous sign: Democracy died and R.I.P.?



First they damaged the marble plaque. Then they poured a black substance to cover the inscriptions. Still not satisfied, probably could not sleep, someone gave the order to remove it altogether. How petty could one get?

Democratic spirit should be in us, not in the plaque, which was just a symbol. What good is it to remove it? Eyesore? Obstruction to traffic? Is this Zambry's way to win the public over?

I find it strange that Najib announced BN's candidate for Bukit Gantang when he was in Taiping! I wonder if the billboard with his pictures (together with Azalina and Pak Lah)at the overhead bridge next to Bukit Gantang service area) splashed with red paint and taken off, has been replaced. Whoever selected as candidate, is going to be a sacrificial lamb because Najib has announced that there won't be any last minute development projects during campaigning. If BN could not win with millions spent in Permatang Pauh and Kuala Terengganu, is it going to win without? Probably given up even before trying. If Nizar is contesting under Pakatan, his opponent might even lose his deposit!
