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

Pavarotti's worthy successor?

Bayi sent me Paul sings Nessum Dorma some time ago but because my computer has no sound, I left it in my mailbox until now. What an amazing discovery! (Pls click on the title for the link to Youtube clip)

Viewers of the Youtube clip should watch the reactions of the Judges, Simon, Amanda and Paul. Here are the transcripts of some of their comments:

Simon: You work in a car phone warehouse and you did that! I wasn't expecting that...complete breath of fresh air... absolutely fantastic!

Piers: You have an incredible voice and if you continue to sing like that...you are going to be one of the favourites to win this whole competition!

Amanda: I think we have got a case of a little lump of coal that is going to turn into a diamond!

Simon: I like shows where somebody isn't a professional, has a talent and is not aware of it, has a normal job...and then you see something else!
