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

Oo Hood vs Bo Hood

A friend forwarded to me the following link to an article...

Excerpt:

Kota Kinabalu: SAPP president Yong Teck Lee has lashed out at former Penang chief minister Koh Tsu Koon for questioning his bid to fight for Sabah's autonomy.

The former Sabah chief minister said any semblance of respect that people had for Koh disappeared when he crawled into the cabinet through the “back door” by becoming a senator.

“He had earlier said he would not want enter Cabinet via the back door. I resent being compared to him. Unlike him, I rejected the nomination as senator and ministerial-status envoy in June 2008.

"Koh called this 'arrogance'. I call it pride and honor...proud as a Sabahan who can say 'no' to Kuala Lumpur, honourable as a Sabahan who refused to be bribed,” he added.

Yong said Koh and him worked together and compared notes during their time as chief ministers (of Penang and Sabah respectively), and the latter, who is Gerakan president, was often bullied by UMNO.
