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

If you're not going to speak up, how is the world supposed to know you exist? “Orang boleh pandai setinggi langit, tapi selama ia tidak menulis, ia akan hilang di dalam masyarakat dan dari sejarah.” - Ananta Prameodya Toer (Your intellect may soar to the sky but if you do not write, you will be lost from society and to history.)

A town, a boundary and a city...

Whenever I join my wife on her trip to Selama, it amazes me because of the route we take: exit from North-South Expressway to go to Serdang, then Selama, Kedah before we arrive at Selama, Perak! I am so used to the idea that Kedah is north of Perak!

Anyway, Selama town straddles part of Perak and Kedah, under different state administrations, depending on where your house or shop is. Some differences include Sunday holiday for Perak but not for Kedah. You can see schoolchildren on a Sunday in Kedah! Licences for certain businesses are very different in the 'same town'.

The following picture is supposed to be a boundary separating Canada from USA - two very large countries in the continent of North America.

Imagine a city with the influence of two very different continents:


Istanbul, Turkey, is the only city in the world located on two continents.
