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

Government fed by the people

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

Keeping up with Joneses

NO MORE 5Cs BUT NEW 5Bs in Singapore

Well.....here is something to link the 5Cs to the newer 5Bs !

I don't need a CAR, but I want a BMW ;

I don't need a CONDO, but I want a BUNGALOW;

I don't need you to have CASH but I want you to own a BANK;

I don't need you to have a CAREER but I want you to be a BOSS;


Most of you would have heard of the Singapore 5Cs! :

Car, Condo, Credit Card, Cash and Career

Heard of the 5Bs?

B - BMW

B - Body

B - Brain

B - Billionaire

B - Bungalow

And, and addition with the 5Ks:

Kiasu (scared of losing)

Kiasi (scared of dying)

Kiabor (scared of wife)

Kiaboh (scared of having nothing)

Kiachenghu (scared of government)

We've been reading about the 5Cs and 5Ks, now comes the 5 Numerals...

Singapore's 'practice' for Simple Living : 12345

1 - One Wife (If more than one, LKY will consign you out of Singapore anyway)
2 - Two Children
3 - Three Bedroom Condo
4 - Four Wheels
5 - Five Figure Salary

This unrelated picture with KS and KS is supposed to be impersonators doing Kit Siang and Karpal Singh, not Kiasu and Kiasi or vice versa! In fact, both Malaysian veteran politicians are the opposites of either Kiasu and Kiasi. Anyway, I used to jokingly introduced myself as Kiasu when asked about my own initials...
