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

Hamisu? Thomas Su @ Pasir Pinji

State Assemblyman for Pasir Pinji, YB Thomas Su has suggested that a few DAP branches under him should have a website for Pasir Pinji.

As virtual Chairman of Shatin Park branch, I have been toying with the idea of a blogsite tentatively called, 'What's up @ Shatin Park?' but the branch is too small for that.

To be honest, I have a problem with publicity because it is not a question of knowing how to publicize but more a question of what happens after the publicity. By this, I am more concerned about what should or should not be publicized as well as political enemies taking advantage of knowing too much of what we do!

I suppose information on a 100-table dinner just before Mooncake Festival should not be a problem.

Being in charge of publicity, together with Jeffrey Tang, a professional MC and singer, I shall use this blogsite to publicize the event.

For the first meeting, I used text messages to inform my branch members. I only got 1 response, 'ok'! Two others who are closer to Thomas knew about the meeting anyway, so together with those from other branches, we formed a working committee to plan the event. My Vice Chairman, Looi Tek Aun has agreed to be Chairman of the organizing committee.

Thomas wants the event to be a mixture of some political speeches and entertainment. Pasir Pinji is one of three state constituencies (the other two being Canning, ADUN YB Wong Kah Woh and Tebing Tinggi, ADUN YB Ong Boon Piow) under parliamentary constituency of Ipoh Timur of which the Member of Parliament is none other than YB Lim Kit Siang. To find a suitable date for the event, we have to choose dates which are unpopular with weddings, which does not clash with Parliamentary sessions, and one when YB Lim is free!

I am toying with the idea of introducing 'Drumaoke' as a form of my personal contribution. But first of all, I have to seek the approval of the committee, and the rest would depend on whether I have the guts to play for the first time in front of 1,000 people! I used to drop my drumsticks when my mind wanders, so maybe this could be entertaining too!
