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

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.)

Smile as a measure of happiness


This rich couple must have paid a bundle to be able to have this meal in the sea, served by a waiter. But they were not smiling.

These people must have been victims of circumstances as a result of flood (an act of God), yet they changed the adverse situation into an enjoyable setting for a hearty meal. Notice the smiles all round.

But I don't envy Yingluck in Thailand, having to deal with the worst flood in more than 50 years, just two months as prime minister. She shed tears while trying to cope with the enormous task of managing a nation in deep waters. Latest headline in The Star...
