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

MCA's Allen Liew tried again to win brownie points

I watched last night's news when Liew and a few others donned yellow T-shirts for a while and made statement demanding Ean Yong to take responsibility for Teoh Beng Hock's death. Why they were able to do so despite reports of arrests of some who wore yellow T-shirts to meet PM at KL Sentral must be because they were from MCA.

I have just watched NTV7's English news and again Liew and others wore yellow T-shirts at a televised press conference for the same purpose, as well as to point out 'corruption in DAP' which was clearly meant to be for political and propaganda purposes with the aid of a television station friendly and bias towards MCA.

The RCI report, despite some shortcomings pointed out, was clear in blaming some MACC officers for having driven Teoh to suicide. Why Liew is now attacking Ean Yong is again quite clear that he is trying to get some cheap publicity to gain some political mileage to please his MCA and Umno bosses. Where was he when his coalition taiko was MB of Selangor carrying out his dubious deals?

His claim that Ean Yong should have accompanied Teoh to MACC to help in their investigation and his failure had caused Teoh's death was stretching it a bit too far. It is like telling a parent that he should have accompanied his child who had been killed, with the benefit of hindsight. Are we to expect Ean Yong to have some kind of extra-sensory perception that his aide was going to be 'driven to suicide' by a bunch of callous bullies? It was a first case of death in MACC custody, unlike so many deaths in police custodies. Before Teoh's unfortunate death, I am sure if anyone claimed he is afraid of MACC custody would have been dismissed as being paranoid. Yet it happened soon after when another DAP aide (Wong, in his fifties) was shown on television fearing for his life when he was asked to accompany some MACC officers to help in their investigations.

Honestly, MCA is now bankrupt of ideas and I can foresee them being thrashed or even wiped out in the next general election.
