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

Making full use of the time and place...

The world is how you make it. This reminds me of how a British would ask for the time, “What time do you make it?” Our uninitiated mind would wonder, 'Me? Making the time?'

I used to admire British classmates doing homework just before class begins! Reason? Because they were able to do their work under pressure, just like during an examination, unlike our upbringing which instilled in us to be prepared, which meant to complete your homework well before the next day's class.

Anyway, this video clip shows how if you dare, nobody cares. Unlike Mr. Bean doing it while driving his Mini, this does not pose any danger nor anger. Cultural differences mean a bit of embarrassment, even amusement, and some stares. No harm is there? 'The end justifies the means' seen in a different light:
