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

Comparing remunerations

Speaking at a dinner event at the Forbes Global CEO Conference in Kuala Lumpur, PM Najib commented that Malaysian executives are underpaid when compared with those of other nations. But his brother is not doing too badly according to a blogger's comment in his blog, Sakmongkol AK47:

"Meanwhile, we are happy to note that the banker who has once said that the NEP has been bastardized and the ladder by which he has reached the top should now be thrown away is a workaholic coming to his office on Sundays and sometimes, as the guards below will tell you, coming at 2 am in the morning. I told the guard-

I can do better- if I am paid RM 1.2 million a month, I will even sleep in the office."

Meanwhile, another blogger has highlighted another blogger's unusual income of Rm80,000 per month, for allegedly being paid to write for a certain purpose, spreading false rumours.

I wonder: is there a market for stopping someone who regularly writes unfavourable things about BN and its leaders?
