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

Khairy's logic despite his PPE from Oxford...

According to a Bernama report:

"Khairy, who is also contesting the Rembau parliamentary seat in Negeri Sembilan, said the opposition had run out of issues when they kept harping on his status as the son-in-law of the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, in their campaign and ceramah.

He lashed out at the opposition for playing up the issue because the opposition were also in the same boat when their leaders' children were contesting in the general election.

"I don't understand why they want to play up the issue that I'm the Prime Minister's son-in-law whereas there are children of opposition leaders who are involved in politics too," he said.

He said among the children of opposition leaders who were involved in politics were Nurul Izzah, who is the daughter of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Nurul Izzah, as the PKR candidate for the Lembah Pantai Parliamentary seat, will face incumbent Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, who is the Minister of Women, Family and Community Development.

Elsewhere, DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang's son, Lim Guan Eng, is contesting the Bagan parliamentary seat while DAP chairman Karpal Singh's son, Gobind Singh Deo is contesting the Puchong parliamentary seat.

My questions:

1. What does Anwar, Kit Siang and Karpal Singh has in common?

All of them have been to jail before.

2. What does Khairy has that their children do not have?

They do not have the protection of their fathers. Khairy has the protection of his father-in-law.

3. What would they get when they are elected?

The salaries and allowances and certain perks of being an MP.

4. What would Khairy get when he gets elected?

He is well on his way to become Minister and PM at the age of 40 as he wishes. Even before he is elected, he is already rich, powerful and arrogant. Can you imagine what he would be like when he is the PM?

According to a Malaysiakini report, the ECM Libra-Avenue merger had raised eyebrows when the deal was approved by AAB shortly after Khairy had bought a Rm9.2million worth of direct stake in ECM Libra.

Can we believe Pak Lah when he said he is PM for all? Maybe he meant ‘all in my family?’

That's why we should support those who are willing to sacrifice for change from self-serving to service for the nation, not those who jump on the gravy train.

The Rembau seat is a sure win. Rembau and Rantau is very taken care of because the Menteri Besar treats the ppl there well. He stays in Rantau.

So with the Menteri Besar's support, the Rembau seat is a sure win. Khairy wouldnt dare contest in any other seat. He is so full of crap.
