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

Baby-sitting maid, literally, is bad enough...



to kick and stand on is not only inhuman but very cruel indeed.

It is surprising how many of today’s young working couples would trust their maid, someone they hardly know, to look after their most precious – their baby or toddler.

It is like leaving it to chance, not knowing how the maid would treat their child. I know it is not fair to generalize, but for those who found out too late, either the child would be dead or would have suffered irreparable trauma of being physically abused by their ‘carer’. Some are known to have drugged the kids to save them trouble of looking after.

It is not surprising to know that some lucky couples do have their parents who are able and caring enough to keep an eye on their maids.

But according to this video clip which has been going round, I feel sorry for the parents of this poor child, who had to go through this video, presumably from a closed circuit television system installed without their maid’s knowledge:
