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

Government fed by the people

Shameful narrowmindedness in University of Malaya

When are we going to open up the minds of our students? How are we to expect them to be intelligent students undergoing an intellectual process while in university, with the view of achieving their full potential, when the university administration is run by narrow-minded people?

If the political leaders are still insecure about their opponents, then they are not fit to be our leaders. Please open up, or best still, abolish the Universities and Univerity Colleges Act altogether.

YB Nik Nazmi laments:

'For me, being treated like that was not unfamiliar as a Pakatan Rakyat leader. But I regret that students are exposed to such unprofessional antics that do not reflect UM as a respectable institution in Malaysia. Why should students be harassed in such a way to conduct their activities? What sort of values are we teaching our students?'
