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

MAS: Let bygones be bygones...

so where is the accountability? Ministers made decisions on mega deals, but when things went wrong, they do not have to be accountable. We all know mega bucks mean mega commissions or kickbacks, with ACA (morphed into MACC, not to be confused with the popular Malaysian Association of Chinese Comedians) closing one eye and shut the other. We have AG who can be like God, who can decide who to prosecute or persecute; we have the judiciary making decisions favourable to BN (if not at Magistrate level, then High Court, then if necessary, the Federal Court); now we even have a Minister in the PM's department who has the mandate to tell government agencies to 'let bygones be bygones, we must move on'. Such simple solution to difficult matters... all these are possible, only in Bolehland!

Not so easy, according to ex-cop Mat Zain...

"A former senior cop has called for charges to be brought against Tan Sri Tajuddin Ramlim saying the withdrawal of civil suits against the former Malaysian Airline (MAS) chairman does not indemnify him against criminal culpability..."
