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

Section 153: where 'special position' morphed into 'special rights'...

Many legal experts have explained in detail that strictly speaking, bumiputera discounts relating to purchase of properties are not covered under S.153 of our Constitution, which means it was introduced and accepted without question, and now considered a right.

For suggesting the removal of such discounts for high-end properties, this was the result:

From Malaysiakini:

Selangor Umno Youth today lodged a police report against DAP's publicity chief Tony Pua over the latter's call for bumiputera discounts for high-end property purchase to be abolished.

Can you imagine the consequences of complete removal, even if it is in accordance with the law?

No wonder Najib's wonderful 1Malaysia seems like 1Failure!
