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

NH Chan agrees with Edmond Bon!

Let's see how the situation will be handled by Menteri Besar of Selangor, and those behind the deliberate appointment of Khusrin as State Secretary. It could be part of a plan to rattle the Selangor leadership into taking actions which could lead to something more serious. At least, they could try to pit the MB against the Sultan, especially when the rabble rousers took to the streets.

I watched Tan Sri Khalid on television last night, and he stammered and stammered, to refute Mohd. Munir Bani's statement. Between them, I would tend to believe the former. His stammering was not because of anything but natural to him. I think he was excited because of the inaccuracies in the latter's statement, and the rabble rousers who had taken advantage of the situation, assuming they had their protests (with tacit approval from the Police of course) earlier or around the same time.

K-point: Pretender Selangor SS Khusrin Is Not Appointed By The Appropriate Service Commission

Excerpts:

"But what is meant by the term "the appropriate Service Commission" in Article 52(1)? The answer is found in Article 97(1) which says:

97. State Service Commission.

(1) There shall be established a State Service Commission whose jurisdiction shall … extend to all persons who are members of the public service of the State.

So there you have it, there is definitely a State Service Commission that has jurisdiction over all members of the State public service and the appointment of the State Secretary shall be made by this Commission "from amongst members of the relevant public service": see Article 52(1). Remember this - the operative words in Article 52(1) are "the appointments … shall be made by the appropriate Service Commission"; not by the "Public Services Commission"."
