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

Uganda to learn from MACC!

I find some news so ludicrous these days, like for example, Uganda wanting to learn anti-corruption methods from our MACC, and Dr. Mahathir saying that PAS cannot be trusted!
MACC's image in Malaysia today is at its lowest ebb (including its longer history as ACA) and yet Uganda wants to learn from it...well, maybe to learn its interrogation techniques and how to cover up for those essential for its own good.

While PAS's Nik Aziz said he cannot trust Umno, we have Umno's longest service PM saying he cannot trust PAS! Well, we cannot say for sure who is right or who is wrong because the answer varies, depending on who you ask. That's political rhetorics for us.

Image building is important, so it seems, according to this Malaysia Insider's article:

The fact that Uganda thinks MACC is best for anti-corruption shows what public relations could do to one's image. But its local actions and statements did not suggest good PR at all, and that baffles me.

I thought the MACC took some lessons in atrocity from the Ugandans?
