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

MCLM as a friend of Pakatan Rakyat

I have just read the following article in Malaysia Today:
Who is your real enemy?
by Waiphil(feel)

In my humble opinion, as a last resort, the best way to avoid three-cornered contests in the next General Election is to be able to come to a decision to withdraw a lesser known candidate from either MCLM or Pakatan, after nomination.

For example, if Malik Imtiaz Sarwar (a well known lawyer) and a lesser known candidate from Pakatan, have filed their nomination papers successfully (we have seen some disqualified on technicality alone), then Pakatan should be able to agree to a withdrawal, as a gesture of goodwill to MCLM. Similarly, with a well known Pakatan candidate and a lesser known MCLM candidate, then MCLM should do so likewise.

I believe in the past, some independent candidates filed nomination papers as a hedge in case of disqualification of an intended party candidate.
