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

I suggest government... because nobody has ever been caught.

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.)

Why did they not think of these earlier?

'Think out of the box' is a popular advice given to all and sundry these days. I have always admire those product designers who continuously come out with practical products with pleasing aesthetics.
I have chosen a few out of a list of notable new designs.

This family tricycle is more a novelty rather than a practical vehicle. How often do we have a family of sextuplets?
This computer table has to be custom made to be seamlessly smooth on the top.
This longbath must be really comfortable and suits those who like to read when having a bath. But for practical reasons, more people are opting for standing showers instead because of space.
This idea is really amazing in its novelty. Can trick quite a number of us new to this design.
Last but not least, surprise, surprise, this bridge on a single support is in Malaysia! But I do not know where.
