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

Political seduction...

Another entrapment. When will they ever learn? It is getting boring because it lacks originality.

The story relating to Penanti candidate Aminah sounds familiar. If not an obvious political ploy, it could have been a sexual entrapment and then cried, ‘rape’!

The setting was a lunch meeting of one ex-comrade and two comrades of PKR which turned out to be a trap to record the conversation to be used for political advantage, and likely to be for financial gain which we are familiar with. Instead of being a victim, anyone reading the story would feel she was the predator, and therefore, do not deserve any goodwill.

If Aminah hopes to win this by-election by this ploy, then I would write her off. So far, even very close former associates of Anwar, like Nalla and Ezam, failed in their betrayal of trust, so how could Aminah do any better? Most people would not believe her story of offer of Rm80,000, let alone a DCM of Penang post! Must have thought highly of herself, like Anifa’s claim of DPM of Malaysia post.

Let this be a further lesson to Pakatan Rakyat leaders to be extra careful when socialising, even with former comrades. We meet all kinds of people these days, and within a short period of time too.
