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

UOB Credit Card Centre, you owe me one...

Recently, I received an invitation to apply for a supplementary card, with offers of cash reward and chances of getting gifts based on the amounts spent by the card-holder. I was never tempted by such offers because it does not make sense for someone like me to spend unnecessarily just because of some gifts.

My youngest needed a card for her work-related international travel, so it was such a pleasant coincidence to have received the application form. Applied online as well as faxed a hard copy and photocopy of NRIC. Just got a call from UOBCCC that because my card is club-based, I should apply through the club. But I pointed out to the girl that the club does not accept children above 18 to be supplementary cardholders. Then it dawned on me that it was a waste of time. Because my card is club-based, I need to go through the club, and based on the conditions as pointed out to me, only spouse can have a supplementary credit card. So the application form sent to me was useless! I was told to apply for a normal credit card and then a supplementary! Why would I do that? Might as well ask her to apply for one on her own merit!
