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

Live: Ng Yen Yen opening Heritage House in Gopeng

sorry, if you are expecting a video. Live as in I was there taking this picture while she was giving a speech in English because the audience included some British including author of The Osborne Chappel Story, David Palmer. There was a Scottish too, presumably because he was in kilt.



There was also a Chinese traditional music orchestra formed by a Chinese school's students. I noted some familiar press photographers so I would leave the story to them.

Later, at a signing session by the author, I spotted MP of Gopeng, Dr. Lee Boon Chye in the queue behind my wife. I have never met him before though I had voted for him when I was under his constituency, courtesy of EC's unilateral transfer without my knowledge. At the time, he was not elected. I walked to him and asked a silly question, 'Why aren't you in the photo session?' as Dr. Ng Yen Yen and those connected with the Heritage House were seated to have their group picture taken. He excused himself and left!
