I wish to congratulate Malaysiakini for being the most visited news website according to Alexa.com, despite being a subscription-based one. I suppose the ‘free’ sections like Letters and Vox Populi, and the Bahasa Malaysia version, helped in attracting poor people like me. Someone, somewhere actually called such a person, ‘kiam siap’. Well, even ‘cheapskate’ is ok with me during recession.
I am concerned about the second headline, ‘Police: Missing PI could be overseas’ for the simple reason that if the Police cannot be sure who has left the country, it reflects very badly on the security of our country. Surely, a check with the immigration department should be able to ascertain whether officially they are still in the country. If they are supposed to be in but in fact out, the public would like to know under whose order such a situation can be permitted to take place.
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
