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

You bet... betting on who wins is on...

which is typical of Malaysians in general, Chinese in particular.

At a local coffee shop during lunch time, someone asked me who will win, followed by information that there are people offering to bet BN will win by at least 500 votes.

I have just checked results of Yahoo's 'If I were voting at Hulu Selangor this Sunday, I'd vote for' as at 11.10pm and the votes were:

P. Kamalanathan 30% (1377)
Zaid Ibrahim 58% (2662)

out of a total of 4590 people who voted.

But it is anybody's guess how the voters in Hulu Selangor are going to vote. Our PM had been unashamedly throwing money at them, with promises of even more if they could deliver the state to BN!


As usual, the Election Commission will have the right to remain silent at all such usual happenings during campaigning.
