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

"It has emerged that there was a decision within the Securities Commission's Management team that investigated the E&O acquisition by Sime Darby to request Sime to make a mandatory general offer on the remaining shares of E&O. It is said that there was a recommendation to form a concerted party by Sime and Datuk Terry Tham to do so in view that the collective shares held by both parties had exceeded the 33% threshold that is set by law.

This was revealed in an affidavit raised with a judicial review application raised by a minority shareholder.
