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

Even Experts can get hurt in stocks and bonds...

How "Big Short" Author Michael Lewis Got Duped By Wall Street

"Lewis' advice for individual investors: “be conservative, don’t listen to brokerage advice, and index.” But he admits to violating his own rules. Which brings us back to those toxic assets."

More where that came from:


Chinese New Year eve, our Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur's half day trading must have caused many to 'drop their spectacles' (in Cantonese: 'teet ngan kaeng'), when some speculative shares like HWGB (top volume and added 18 sen) and Olympia (3rd in volume and added 8 1/2 sen) surged beyond reasons other than speculation on tin mining and lottery licence respectively. Even my small number of shares would have made a few thousand more had I waited just another day! A major shareholder in HWGB, Teo Tiew, who sold tens of million shares recently, must have repeated his own name more times than Nazri's 'Racist'!
