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

I suggest government... because nobody has ever been caught.

Challenging task ahead on our return flight


Just confirmed that we will be taking charge of my grandniece on our way back from UK. No we won't have the luxury of the vehicle shown in the picture. She is a toddler and quite active.

Before this, my brother-in-law, aged 69, kept asking me if he could follow us on our trip! Problem with our trip is that it will be another family re-union with our 3 children, the occasions being Nee's convocation at Kent University at Canterbury and Cheng's completion of her Master degree in Luxembourg and Belgium.

We are likely to be guests of some friends so it is quite different if we have another guest as well. There are transport and accommodation considerations and UK and Europe are not like BG where we have availability of cars and cheap or even free accommodation.

This is the time when I wish I am loaded to be able to say "welcome aboard!"
