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

What we do not know, we really want to know

Human nature is such that if you give a person an inch, he wants a foot. When Nizar made public his meeting with the Sultan, the next thing the public wishes to know is what transpired when Najib met with Tuanku!

The Nut Graph Sultan didn’t cite any reasons, says Nizar

From Bernard Khoo's site:

Herr General, I nearly forgot!
Can you throw in this question?
Its a request from my buddy Duke the Whisperer:

Sir, what did you whisper to the Ruler to win Perak so expeditiously?

HERR GENERAL,
TAUSEND DANK!

The Nut Graph Perak, the opportunity in crisis
FOR all the dust it has stirred, the Perak political deadlock has presented a soul-searching opportunity for Malaysians to consider the type of government and constitutional monarchy it wants.

At the dawn of the Perak crisis, many looked with great hope towards Sultan Azlan Shah, a former chief justice and one of the most revered monarchs in the country, for a resolution.

The leaders of Pakatan Rakyat and Barisan Nasional [BN] sought separate audiences with [the] sultan to stake their claim to the Perak state government.

In the end, the sultan favoured the BN and swore in Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir as menteri besar.

That marked the beginning of an ongoing, protracted legal battle and public debate in constitutional interpretations - at the federal and state level - as well as greater public interest in the powers and functions of the state legislative assembly, the judiciary, the government and indeed the royalty...
