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

If you're not going to speak up, how is the world supposed to know you exist? “Orang boleh pandai setinggi langit, tapi selama ia tidak menulis, ia akan hilang di dalam masyarakat dan dari sejarah.” - Ananta Prameodya Toer (Your intellect may soar to the sky but if you do not write, you will be lost from society and to history.)

My scattered mind

How could I have peace of mind when I have to deal with prevention of so many activities - burglary, snatch robbery (thief seems a misnomer), break car window robbery, ATM espionage, online banking frauds, and so on and so forth?

In my earlier post on 'peace of mind', I forgot the simple act of unplugging TV, computer and other electronic equipment when leaving the house, would give me the peace of mind too, barring an unprecedented direct lightning hit on the house or flood!

This morning I had the misfortune of keying in a wrong user ID for online banking. I actually forgot and without first checking and being ready, I went into a series of errors and even opted for 'forget user ID' thinking it was something simple, but entailed at least 3 working days!

The problem with the onset of memory loss is that what was written somewhere in a secret place so that others would not know would end up as a secret to myself! These days there are so many user names or IDs and their accompanying passwords to remember. Even for telecommunication service providers, like Digi's Online Customer Service! The most practical would be to write in a prominent notebook which cannot be missed and forget about keeping it secret from others!
