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

Malaysiakini's report on Prosecution's appeal against Anwar's acquittal in Sodomy II aka Fitnah II

As a layman, I am troubled by the appointment of high-profile Umno lawyer Shafee to head the prosecution (as if the Attorney General Chamber does not have anyone good enough), who was reported to have said that he needs only 2-3 hours to nail Anwar.

The long delay in appeal against the earlier court verdict and the impending Kajang by-election which is widely publicised as a step towards appointing Anwar as Menteri Besar of Selangor, seem to suggest political motivation to disqualify him as a candidate or an elected State Assemblyman.
