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

Why Hulu Selangor voters should vote for Zaid Ibrahim

... no, not because 'you look a bit like Zaid' (the first time anyone said that!) and I did not make it up... go ask the only Chinese employee in MDBG! But because this by-election is so important to assess which direction we are going: continue with BN and its plundering OR go for a change! The leaders of Pakatan Rakyat need our support to continue their struggle for change.

The other day, as I was walking back from the grand MDBG building, I noticed many fallen trees (big as well as small) as a result of the recent typhoon in Batu Gajah. I cannot help comparing it with the 38 persons listed as having left PKR for one reasons or other, but according to Raja Petra, most of them left mainly because of finance. How many of us can continue if the life style we are used to, are affected by being in the opposition? So when the going gets tough, only the tough gets going. I try not to be judgmental on those who quit the opposition coalition but I am certainly against those who are paid to criticize their former leaders and comrades.

For the main reasons, I would agree with the writer of the following letter:
