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

Hamidah herself is clueless about tin dredge...

Get expert advice, operator of listing dredge told

By CHAN LI LEEN

Excerpt:

Hamidah, who is in charge of tourism in the state, said she toured the dredge some months back and spoke to its operator.

She said the operator was clueless on what to do to save the dredge.

“The problem is that this is an operating dredge, which is to be parked in water, and is not meant for tourism.

“So when you use it as a tourist centre and park it on sand, to be frank, that doesn’t fit. The sand cannot withstand its weight,” she said.

For the first time, I had to remove a 'comment' which was actually a series of 'dots' each linked to some unsavoury sites. If it was done on purpose, then there is nothing much I can do but delete when necessary.
