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

Why BN won in both by-elections?

It could be a combination of factors (a la kopitiam) and cannot be just one factor (remember one person one vote) :

1. Change of some voters' sentiments favourable towards BN;
2. Change of some voters' sentiments against PR;
3. Some voters paid to vote for BN;
4. Hanky panky in postal votes;
5. Poor voter turnout;
6. Ku Li's strong influence in Galas, plus his support for Kelantan's oil royalty case;
7. Sympathy votes for Datin Tsen in Batu Sapi;
8. Rosmah's influence acting for Najib during Hilary Clinton's visit cum Najib's absence!
9. Bookies' influence;
10. Ploy by PR to encourage Najib to go for early General Election;
11. Strong gender support for Datin Tsen (remember they have half of the votes) ;
12. Voters message to PR to shape up or ship out!; and
13. Any relevant factors not mentioned above.
