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

Talking about backaches

Just got a call from Sydney from my ex-classmate since Primary One. My mobile phone was left a few feet away and I had to get up in a bent posture to get it. I had the backache since lunchtime when I was checking our unused toilet cistern which my recent guest complained there was no water. The cover was not heavy, but it was the wrong posture when I carried it that caused the problem.

Anyway, after chatting about his planned trip back to Malaysia, Ken mentioned that he happened to be in a suburb of Sydney recently where Anwar Ibrahim gave a talk to some people. Much to his surprise, Anwar actually went over to his table meant for four and joined him and his friend! He had the opportunity of complimenting him about his fitness, though he could tell from his action it was because of his backache that he had to find a place to sit down after answering some questions. He had the opportunity to ask him about his family in politics and so on.
