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

Beware of internet banking phishing

For the past few days I have received emails purportedly from banks, some of which I do not even have any account! So far, I have received from Maybank, CIMB and Public Bank, with all the logos to appear authentic. It served to show that they sent to all and sundry and even a very small percentage response is good enough for their simple button-pushing exercise.

I think it can be very lucrative for some IT savvy guys to indulge in this illegal activity. Talking about teaching a person to fish and he will take care of himself for the rest of his life. Now, if he knows how to 'phish', he can even be filthy rich!

The best way to test whether the site is genuine or not (coming from someone with 2-cents' worth of IT knowledge), is to put your cursor over the phrase you are supposed to click and see for yourself, the URL shown in the address. If it shows anything other than the bank in question, then it is certainly from a 'phisherman'!
