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

What if our Armed Forces Chief misplaces his loyalty?

"How can we be loyal to you if you're disloyal to us?"

Almost everyone who commented on his statement on national television seems to criticize his misplaced loyalty. How could he label those who admitted to voting for others on duty as being disloyal? How would he know if ever there were such cases of fraud before? Instead of checking first before commenting, his presumption of perfect voting procedures showed his bias towards the ruling party. To appear impartial, he should have said that those who have been ordered to vote illegally for others should come forward so that proper investigation can be carried out and steps would be taken to ensure no recurrence in future. To all fair-minded citizens, the Armed Forces is now another institution under the control of BN. Denial seems to be the easy solution to all complaints about the voting system.
