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

If you're not going to speak up, how is the world supposed to know you exist? “Orang boleh pandai setinggi langit, tapi selama ia tidak menulis, ia akan hilang di dalam masyarakat dan dari sejarah.” - Ananta Prameodya Toer (Your intellect may soar to the sky but if you do not write, you will be lost from society and to history.)

Rules to live by... suit the laidback and defeatist in me

We come to this world with nothing, we leave this world with nothing (Doesn't that remind you of the Malay word 'kosong' which means 'empty' or nothing!)

No point using limited life to chase unlimited money.

No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it.

No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with.

Money is not yours until you spend it. (No matter how much you have in the bank, if anything happens to you, someone else would inherit it.)

When you are young, you use your health to chase your wealth; when you are old, you use your wealth to buy back your health. Difference is that, it is too late. (Even if you abide by this rule, you are not guaranteed to be in good health. The only way to know is when you are in good health as a result of taking things easy.)

How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs. (A greedy person would wish to accumulate more and more, despite being rich. He is unhappy because his needs are unfulfilled.)
