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

Some inventions that I like...

My son and daughters are impressed with the ease in renewing their driving licences, passports and recently, my son was pleasantly surprised when checking his account at the EPF branch in Ipoh. So we should give credit where credit is due and not always criticize anything that is Malaysian.

Anyway, in most government offices, banks and other places where large numbers of people are expected, the 'Queue system' really stands out as the most efficient way of dealing with them. There is no discrimination, strictly on a 'first come first served' basis unless some insiders manipulate the system to work in cahoot with touts.

Then there is the new traffic light system which shows the 'seconds count down' which takes away our guessing while driving. Without this feature there is always the decision to make as to whether to speed up or to slow down at the traffic lights.
