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

You are only as old as you feel

A rubber smallholder heard about replanting grants by RISDA obtained by a friend. Not to be left out, he asked another friend to take him to Kuala Kangsar office to enquire.

The lady officer checked his file and said that his land had been given twice already. To be eligible, he needs to wait another three years.

He replied that in that case, he would come back three years’ time. The lady noticed that he is not young and asked how old is he.

He replied 85!

My mother-in-law is 87, and she still insists on making decisions on acquiring small estates! She still comes to the factory almost every working day and sits on a high chair with wheels, overseeing the workers operating the machines!

One day, a visitor came looking for her son and asked for the boss. She overheard the accounts clerk telling him that the boss has gone out. She told us, how could she say that when I am the boss and I was sitting there! When people asked her where she is working, doesn’t she say she is working for me?

So it is not surprising that our ex-PM, only 81, is not about to let go of what is happening in Malaysia.
