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

Police vs Bersih: who lost?

Parti Socialis Malysia!

Do we call this 'collateral damage'?

We all know about Bersih as a coalition being banned and the word 'Bersih' and its yellow colour caused paranoia among the police. Like arresting people wearing anything yellow, even to the extent of barging into hotel rooms and harassed occupants simply because they had Bersih T-shirts with them.

But prior to the Bersih rally, Dr. Jeyakumar (MP for Sungai Siput) and five others were arrested for activities relating to communism and threatening national security! They were arrested under Emergency Ordinance and not the usual ISA. The good doctor has been described by many influential persons as very helpful and good towards others and the only thing that is 'bad' about him was probably because he kicked out MIC President from Sungai Siput constituency, Samy's safe seat for many years.

Bersih rally happened and everything is back to normal, except these six persons which seem to be singled out for 'appropriate action', much to the surprise of many. Why?
