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

Ex-Judge N H Chan decides to vote against BN

While we get generous doses in the mainstream media of people leaving Pakatan parties in droves and that Pakatan will have to close shop, more and more retired people are becoming disenchanted with the antics of the present regime and have decided to draw a line in the sand to state their stand, to stand up and be counted, as well as to speak up when necessary about what they think is wrong in our present administration.

Former Court of Appeal Judge, N H Chan, has finally decided to 'change my mind from being apolitical to decide to vote for the underdogs because what the BN had done to Perak was wickedly unfair and unjustifiable'.

'I don’t have to tell you who they are - even in the BN some ‘animals’ are more equal than others. Look at their opulence.'

'It is a good thing if every member of the Cabinet and every member of the Exco are investigated as to their financial status and assets before they can assume office. And when they leave office they are to be investigated again. They are to be accountable if they are found to be richer than what they could have earned while in office when they leave.'

'One should be in politics to serve the people, not to get rich.'

"The BN has been with us for 53 years and on each succession of the BN government a new tyranny replaces the old. I say this because nothing has changed since the BN came to power. We have the same repressive laws. But there is now a new tyranny. The new evil is the hijacking of a legitimately elected state government in Perak and this, in my estimation, is the last straw for the people of Perak to tolerate. For the rest of the country, remember this, if it can happen in Perak it could happen again elsewhere in this country."
