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

Sex video by post: why not use Myemail?

My first thought when I read the Malaysiakini headline:

Sex video by post: Any decency left?

... was, 'better still, use Myemail' when government has citizens' email addresses whether they want it or not.

By not taking action against the Sleazy Trio, this latest method of dissemination of porn is most despicable. The police, in particular, is shown to be powerless, yet Hishamuddin found it right to tell Bersih to keep their house in order first before demonstration. Bersih would have been irrelevant had there been fair elections in the first place.

The recent ordeal of a young lady who was robbed of money by a policeman at a roadblock near Pudu jail comes to mind, among many other more serious incidents involving police under his watch.
