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

Open letter to Clearwater Sanctuary Golf Resort

I can't help thinking there are more categories of membership in Clearwater Sanctuary than just Golf and Leisure. Some inner circle members get to know certain events while others haven't a clue about them because they are not frequent visitors.

I happened to be at the Club House to redeem Rm50 vouchers which the Club offered to members to make up for the Government tax on credit card issued by UOB. I chanced upon a notice about a cocktail party on Sunday, October 23 which was stated to be free for members. I asked some of my breakfast companions who are members but they did not know about it. I even called up a member who is a regular tennis player there but he did not know too. I called up to enquire and was told it was too late, because I should have booked in advance!

A few years ago, I had complained about certain events not being notified to all members. Apparently, according to the then Liaison Committee President, Leong, it was impossible to accommodate every member! Since then, Dr. Chew has been President for many years. So because of this so-called 'impossible to accommodate every member', notification had to be selective? On what basis, may I ask? I feel it is the responsibility of the management to be fair to all members and it is up to the members to decide whether to attend an event. If at all there are too many interested, then they have to come up with a solution, even if it means higher charges to reduce the number. For the monthly subscriptions we pay, surely we are entitled to some postage necessarily incurred for this purpose of fair notification to all.

By the time we get to receive the newsletter, the events were over and it gave the impression so many activities have been organized and held. Every year I get a birthday greeting from Kenny Yap with a discount voucher, past the birth date, though valid for a few months. Thanks Kenny for being so thoughtful! Will I be getting one this year?
