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

On this particular point, I cannot agree with it more, as I always believe in 'Honesty is the best policy' because otherwise, you have to keep track of what you have said differently to different people.

Haris Ibrahim has a good analysis of the reasons why the Home Minister is now trying to force Malaysiakini to take off the two videos showing the cow-head incident as well as his press conference which showed without doubt, his partiality in handling the matter.

I am surprised that people who did it are now ashamed of being shown to all and sundry all over the world!

The Home Minister has been trying to defend the indefensible, just like how the DPM tried to downplay the seriousness of a lawyer who had been disbarred while campaigning at the recent by-election.
