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

Government fed by the people

If you're not going to speak up, how is the world supposed to know you exist? “Orang boleh pandai setinggi langit, tapi selama ia tidak menulis, ia akan hilang di dalam masyarakat dan dari sejarah.” - Ananta Prameodya Toer (Your intellect may soar to the sky but if you do not write, you will be lost from society and to history.)

Raja Petra speaks the truth when it suits

Recently, Mukriz, a son of Tun Dr. Mahathir stated that only 40% of what Raja Petra written in Malaysia Today are facts and the rest made up by him...

Last July: Mukriz: Raja Petra's stories half made up
http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/mukhriz-raja-petras-stories-half-made-up/

Now Najib is glad the truth is out because Raja Petra said so, or what TV3, The Star and Malay Mail spinned that he said so. Or, assuming we give the mainstream media the benefit of the doubt for this, RPK is now speaking the truth 100% and not only 40%? Even so, he was stating what he had stated before in his Statutory Declaration which was based on someone's information and he hoped for an investigation. These days, we do not know who or what to believe in.
