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

"A BUSINESSMAN has donated a 0.8ha plot of land worth RM4mil in Mak Mandin to the state government to construct a 500m-long road linking Mak Mandin and the Raja Uda township.

Datuk Goy Chiap Thuan of Chiap Thuan Holdings Sdn Bhd said he decided to give away the piece of land as it was for a worthy cause.

“The purpose is to build a new road to help divert traffic flow, especially from the busy Jalan Raja Uda.

“And, I did not have any earlier plans to develop this vacant land, which was covered with undergrowth,” he said after Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng inspected the road’s construction work in Butterworth yesterday." ...
