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

MARA kita marah sebab kita masih ada maruah

MARA or Majlis Amanah Rakyat (The Council of Public Trust) serves almost exclusively Malays and Bumiputeras, not the Rakyat (the Public).

Many members of the public (including myself) did not know its stated objective and assumed it was a public trust meant exclusively for Bumiputeras. The reason? The following copy of a letter (like many others before and for many years) is clear and self-explanatory:

For the benefit of those who do not understand Bahasa Malaysia:

First highlight...
1. Official offer letter will be issued soon.

2. Nevertheless, this offer will be cancelled if:
a. you are not a Citizen and not a Malay/Bumiputera.

Second highlight...
"1MALAYSIA: PEOPLE FIRST, PERFORMANCE NOW"

All we want is: please be honest with yourself and what you say. When we are already used to it, you start saying things which are untrue. Why?

No matter how I look at it, the reality is '1Malaysia: Malay/Bumiputera first, performance now' and not as claimed.
