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

Fugitive found...

sorry, not Hilmi lah.

I was thinking of him when I first read the heading of the email forwarded by Bayi, but of course, it seems silly. But then again, with today's interesting news, anything is possible, which explains why our mind is open to such thoughts.

Fugitive found - under mum's bed

A 39-year-old man on the run for robbery in Romania has been found after four years - hiding under his mother's bed.

Petru Susanu had used floorboards and carpet to make himself a cosy hideaway beneath his mum's double bed at the family home in Vladeni.

But he was discovered when suspicious neighbours called the police after spotting his mother buying cigarettes and beer even though she didn't drink or smoke.

"The shop keeper was immediately suspicious because his shop was one of the places he used to rob regularly and he always stole the same brand of cigarettes as she was buying," said a police source.

Iasi police spokeswoman Virginia Pralea said: "The man had been on the wanted list for four years after fleeing following a conviction for robbery in 2005.

"He had built this hiding place under his mother's bed, using carpets and wood boards."

Now Susanu is facing another four years shut away in jail for robbery.
