KoSong: Much as we have all expected...

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

Apr 23, 10 12:32PM

BREAKING NEWS The Ipoh Sessions Court has today acquitted two former PKR state assemblypersons on corruption charges without their defence being called.

The moral of the story was: if you are caught with your pants down, don't fret, there is always a way out - the BN way.

Given the choice of a jail sentence OR freedom, money as well as PM's personal attention, which would you choose?
