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

Most Indispensable Person of the Year 2007


In conjunction with Malaysiakini’s Award for Newsmaker of the Year 2007, I have one for the Most Indispensable Person of the Year 2007, and the winner..., without any shadow of doubt, goes to our beloved Election Commission Chairman, who required the BN’s 90% majority in Parliament to extend his tenure. The Constitution had to be amended just for him.

He publicly announced that 'no regime except the Barisan Nasional party can qualify to govern Malaysia'. I believe his Civil Servant mentality had gone so embedded in him that he thinks his job is just to ensure that BN wins again, by all means.

He was coy enough after the passing of the Bill to say that he had yet to accept the extension!

The Star quoted him today: “It is my pleasure to continue serving the people. I will do my best to ensure yet another fair election is held.”

I wish the ‘fence-sitters’ will vote to show their displeasure over the government’s abuse of its majority in Parliament, against the wishes of the people.

You rub my back
And I'll rub yours
You'll get your payback
When I extend your working hours
