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

Where our priorities gone haywire...

The following appears to be Kenny Sia's work of art and humour:
As part of an initiative to make the city more favourable towards tourists, a series of state-of-the- art automated public toilets were recently introduced at several tourist hot spots around KL city.

These new public toilets came to light not without some controversy. Some people like them, some people think those money can be better spent somewhere else. At RM400,000 a pop, these toilets are even more expensive than the houses most of us live in.

These toilets cost 20 cents to use. In other words, they need at least 2 million people to piss in each of these toilets just to breakeven financially.

The inside of the public toilets look mighty impressive. Unlike the public toilets we are used to, these ones are extremely clean. They are so clean, they make our hawker food stalls look dirty.

Only in Malaysia can you find places you shit cleaner than the places you eat.

But one thing that caught my attention though, was this warning.
Heh. The last thing you wanna happen when you're happily taking a dump, is for the door to automatically open and have the busy crowd at Bukit Bintang catch an eyeful of you.
That'd be kinda awkward.

Kenny Sia thinks this sign looks like 'No diving'. I think, for those who are put off by the idea of sitting on 'cleaniness unknown' toilet seat, they should learn the basic kung fu's 'chart mah kiok' or horse stance (I think) which requires no physical contact.
