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

In common with a Chief Minister...


must be in the minds of ordinary folks upon seeing this picture. Instead of the Milo, I would be having 'basumal teh' or milky tea made from boiling fresh milk. Others might be having 'roti canai' or 'dosai' or 'chapati' instead of the 'nasi lemak' which Nik Aziz is having.

His unassuming and humble image is not a 'one-off' for the cameras as is often the case with pretentious politicians of Barisan Nasional. This is the part which is actually unnecessary for someone of his position but if he is more comfortable that way, why not? It is definitely more endearing to the people which explains why he is so popular and influential as a 'Tok Guru' among the Malays in general.

Coming close, in my opinion is the Chief Minister of Penang, Lim Guan Eng. He can be very comfortable having breakfast in an ordinary coffee shop without pre-visit preparations done as is common with BN bigwigs.
