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

Why is Football played for 45 minutes?
Why is football played for 45 minutes per half-time?
Those who thought of this must have lots of time. (in Hokien, it is called Cheah Pah Siu Eng)
Why people play football for 45 minutes, not 30 minutes or 1 hour? Even the sports
scientist and some of the senior players could not give the right answer.
In that confusing situation one person came up with a reasonable answer.
He said "The reason people play this game for 45 minutes is...
There are 2 teams and there are 11 players in each team.
Each player brings his own "2 balls" So in total there are 44 balls. There is one ball on the ground itself. Thus the grand total is 45". Question Answered!!
Sometimes there is extra time of 2 mins which is the referee's balls!
Incidentally, for those football fans, Daniel has a song for Manek Urai by-election based on Manchester United's http://www.danielykl.com/blog/2009/07/04/the-manek-uria-song/ and a cool logo for Pakatan Rakyat as shown above.
