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

MCA1 for President... why MCA?

I am sure it occurred to many when they came across registration letters like BN, DAP, PAS and so on, that those could have been chosen by their respective party faithfuls. But to actually consider booking the whole 9,999 numbers for a political party's initials, in this case MCA, shows the frivolity of the person who suggested it, and suggests the arrogance and presumptuousness of a party used to using power of positions for their own ends. In this case, an MCA leader happens to be holding the Transport Ministry portfolio.

PPP would have a long wait before it gets to those registration letters in Penang while Umno could easily have a special one like those for Proton, Bambee and so on.

Incidentally, I have just read about the reason why registration letter 'A' went to Perak (because of it being the richest then and had the first vehicle), and 'B' went to Selangor, and 'C' to Pahang! But I still cannot get over Kelantan having 'D' over so many other richer states.
