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

Hong Kong is a great place to grow old?

Apparently, a combination of Tai chi, mahjong sessions, 'yum cha' (eating dim sum and drinking Chinese tea) and other routines, has contributed to a healthy and long life.

But what appeals to me was a quote by a senior HK minister:

“Just being given the opportunity to work for my fellow citizens is already a great honour for me that does not need to be waxed with any high salary. I cannot bring the high salary with me to my grave, but I can leave this Earth with the greatest satisfaction that I have helped my fellow citizens, and I will leave behind my humble honour in Hong Kong’s history books.”

How we wish our political leaders share similar views.
