My mother used to tell me this story of a daughter-in-law who complained that she just did not know what her mother-in-law wanted. When she cooked bee hoon (rice vermicelli), MiL complained it was not salty enough, when she cooked mee sua (similar but made from wheat?), MiL complained it was too salty. The truth of the matter was the fact that mee sua itself is salty and there was no need to add salt to it. But my recent experience proved otherwise, as the mee sua on its own wasn't salty. Might be isolated case to do with that brand.
With today's women, MiL is just someone to be tolerated, not necessarily respected.
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
