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

What a difference political power makes

I can still remember Umno facing financial difficulties because its foreign loan from Japan ballooned because the Yen appreciated against the Ringgit sharply (by at least 50%, more like 100%). Dr. Mahathir admitted that the North-South Expressway was used to help Umno out of its dire straits. There was no question of impropriety nor corruption by abuse of power.

PKR is now feeling insecure because of likely tenancy problems arising from its landlord's financial problems. Having seen many HK movies and serials, could this be a result of the landlord being 'punished' for having PKR as tenant? Businessmen can easily be affected by politicians with an axe to grind? I can still remember Dr. Tan Chee Khoon complaining about some of his supporters losing their transport licences because of their overt support.
