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

Maybe we need the kitchen cabinet...

Nobody would believe an Education Minister has no power over a school principal. On top of that, he is also our Deputy Prime Minister!

It shows how our Umno politicians are beholden to their race politics, and our laws enforced differently. Using velvet gloves for some and high-handedness for others.

P.S.: There is a general consensus that though the matter is bound by rules to be followed, the least he could have done was to admonish the first principal in strong enough terms to reflect his seriousness (if indeed he was), while letting the investigation takes its course. By not doing so, he appeared to have condoned the first which led to the second case. Now it appears as if school principals are untouchable by even a DPM!

The general opinion of the public that 'a civil servant cannot be sacked, only transferred' is now confirmed by our powerless DPM. Khoo Kay Peng's take:
