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

Change Bank when your Fixed Deposit is no longer safe?

What's going on? They say a day is a long time in politics. Sarawak's forthcoming state election is proving to be the most exciting ever, it being the last election under Taib Mahmud's long rule which might end against him, as well as being the prelude to the fall of BN's federal rule. But money has been the most important factor in Malaysian politics thus far, will it continue to decide our fate? What a different scenario we get when reading the following Sarawak Report's articles after a couple of days...

NAJIB AND DEPUTY CAME TO SACK TAIB AFTER SHOCK POLLS – EXCLUSIVE!
Monday March 21, 2011

Sarawak Report has received privileged information from BN insiders in KL, revealing that Najib Razak and Deputy PM, Muhyiddin Yassin, came to Sarawak not to support Taib, but to make him stand down!

This was the reason for the unprecedented dual visit of both the PM and the Deputy PM at the same time.

”One held the pistol and the other a dagger and said ‘it’s time to stand down. We are not going to compromise with you anymore, you have to announce your decision or that’s it!’”, recounted our source.

SNAP’S DEAL WITH BN – THE DAMNING EVIDENCE!
Wednesday March 23, 2011

Sarawak Report has received explosive evidence from the heart of Barisan National in KL, revealing that a secret deal has been forged with SNAP, in a desperate attempt to destroy the opposition and maintain BN’s grip on Sarawak after the election.

We have learnt that the deal, which involves Federal BN pouring money into the newly revived SNAP (Sarawak National Party, which is meant to be part of the opposition alliance), was finalised during the visit by Prime Minister Najib Razak and his Deputy Muhyiddin Yassin just last weekend. The main broker was the UMNO information chief Datuk Ahmad Maslan, who joined the federal delegation to Kuching and met with key players from SNAP.

We know this is just the beginning of 'wheeling and dealing' typical of Malaysian politics, with the situation being secretive and fluid, which added to its mystery and excitement. Politicians will continue to be treated with a bit of distrust until the picture is clearer after each election battle.
