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

Kim Quek's take on Khusrin's appointment

"Does it make sense then that PSD should have selected someone without the knowledge of and without consultation with the Selangor government, the Exco, and above all, big boss the menteri besar?

It is akin to an employment service agency thrusting a general manager to a company without the knowledge of the chairman and board of directors. The latter must be thinking that the agency has gone mad!

Now we are talking about running a government, which is immensely more complex and serious than a company. Is it not the height of absurdity that the federal recruitment agency would appoint someone to head the civil service of an adversary state government in a process that was completely hidden from the latter? Worse, when that candidate is a putative ‘trojan horse’ to sabotage the state government!

How is the new state secretary expected to serve his employer when the former is regarded with such mistrust and detestation? Isn’t this move a manifestation of evil intention to cause grievous damage to the PR state government? Isn’t this the crudest expression of contempt and betrayal of the interests of the Selangor people who have chosen PR to administer their state?"

More of that where it came from:
