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

My last resort if KTMB still ignores my Petition...

I think it would be a big publicity stunt to find an elephant to deliver the Petition, for the sake of Batu Gajah!

I am treating the Petition as a learning process and I had to do it the basic way ie. via a citizen's initiative. Many people poured cold water over my suggestion as they are resigned to our government policies which serve their own interests first. Anything worth doing must be huge in contract sums so that money could be made by political leaders and their supporters.

What we are asking for could have been easily approved and realized in no time, if for example, our Sultan says so, but that is asking too much for such a small matter.

I found out from a website, that the disabled centre in Rawang had been visited by our PM and wife and there is a new building on the planning board. I remember too, that our PM had placed importance on helping the disabled which must be the reason for the visit. Now, wouldn't it be appropriate if our PM were to look into the facilities at railway stations to ensure that they comply with basic facilities to be disabled-friendly?
