This reminds me of the time, years ago, when I was sending off a Malaysian couple in Leeds railway station. What he thought was the most natural thing to do: clipping fingernails in the waiting lounge, was considered rude to the English (from their facial expressions)! To the English, it was ok to kiss passionately in public, but the stench of urine in some public places would suggest they had been urinated nights before.
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
Career options
Corruption so prevalent it affects English language?
When there's too much dirt...
Prevent bullying now!
