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

Khairy, Khairy, quite contrary

One would expect someone who graduated from a top university like Oxford would be intellectually ahead of us, but I just cannot find anything intellectual about Khairy since he joined Umno, and is currently their Youth chief. Just like those with doctorates like Dr. Rais and Dr. Zahid, their public statements were so predictable. It is like leaving their thinking caps outside as they enter the Umno party!

Being Umno youth chief, Khairy was in the news as a rabble-rouser, like those before him. It is like what is expected for someone holding the position. I would expect him to do better than that, or at least be a bit different.

Judge for yourself, whether his tweets reflect his Oxford credentials:

"Why one earth then did he decide to add fuel to fire with his two tweets, the first one yesterday where he said in response to another tweet by pro-Umno blogger “@PapaGomo” translated to “Maybe he destroyed Kampung Buah Pala because he wants to replace it with Kampung Buah Dada”, which can be construed as a direct attack on Lim Junior."

"Despite clarifications that the girl in question was not even in the same class as Lim Junior, Khairy was relentless. In his response to calls to apologise, he defended his comments tweeting “Bro, what BN leaders & their families get from the opposition is far worse."

More where that came from:
