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

Could this Thai advert have inspired our police?



Excerpt from Mariam Mokhtar's Playing with fire in Malaysiakini:

"Farting is cheap and the only expense incurred is perhaps to send the interrogators for a curry lunch with dhall, a western one with baked beans, a Chinese meal with taugeh or a kampong lunch with rebong masak lemak and deep-fried jackfruit in batter, for dessert.

Unconfirmed sources say that the policeman's farts were unintentionally lit when another policeman sitting close to Hii, lit his cigarette at the same time as the person who was administering the torture. The torturer is still in intensive care because he had a flashback.

The policemen were shocked at what transpired, they were unable to prevent the spread of the fire which had first consumed a wastepaper basket full of paper and later, the furniture.

The police believed also that the fire was divine intervention and released Hii the following day. They were however, incensed with Hii for embarrassing them so first, they sent him to the psychiatric ward of Kuala Lumpur hospital by tricking him into seeking treatment for his singed eyebrows.

Doctors treating those from the police station, revealed that the police personnel were unaware that the noxious gases were flammable. Every school boy (and girl) knows this fact."
