Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
UMNO will never reform now or in the future with Khir Toyo at it's helm.............
Friday, February 20, 2009
or for that matter with these candidates. What's Malaysia's fate with future leaders like this? Well the future looks bleak when one of the stronger contenders Khir Toyo who makes a self observation during the debate with Mukhriz and Khairy ? His reasoning was, Umno lost support because the party's Malay racism and Islamism are not yet fully carried out. He believed that as long as Umno further promotes Malay agenda and Islamic policies, the party will be able to turn the tide in the next general elections. He said that it is a desecration to the Malay Privileges to allow non-Malays enjoy the same status as Malays. Similarly, non-Muslims should not enjoy the same status as Muslims.
The remarks were not made in the Umno General Assembly. Instead, the remarks, meant to directed to the whole nation, were made in a TV series last Tuesday (17 Feb 2009). Dr Khir still did not understand that the Selangor BN suffered a great loss was because the people could no longer tolerate Malay racism and theocracy. Also, they could no longer tolerate a corrupt, power abuse, bias and extreme government. And he was the then state government leader. After the collapse of the Selangor state government, Dr Khir wished to revive in a new guise by making use of Umno Youth, so that he could extend his political life, expand his territory and realise his ambitions. According to the current situation, he has the highest chance. Don't ask me why, it is an Umno's tradition. And we heard that Umno wants to reform and BN is going to restructure. Yes, under the leadership of Dr Khir.
With these statements by this unemployed dentist, 1st generation Indon Malaysian, former MB and opposition leader of Selangor, I can forsee that he is going to be the new Umno Youth Goon-In-Chief handsdown, as he is the most extreme of all. Well, the other two are a cut of the same cloth, does it surprise anyone? MCA, MIC, Gerakan and PPP must be quaking in their shoes, praying and hoping no one picks up or hears these extremist views. I have yet to come across these rants being reported in the mainstream English press. I think they blotted out these rants. Correct me if I me wrong.
Khir does think that, because like many of his Barisan colleagues, he really does not believe in democracy or in the constitutional rights of the rakyat. At his recent televised debate with two other contenders for the Umno Youth chief post, he persistently argued that it is unconstitutional to regard non-Malay Malaysians as equal to their Malay fellows.The truth is, Khir is just projecting his own problems and insecurities onto the Malays he so vocally claims to serve; as with most politicians from his party, he is the one who is small-minded, bigoted and insecure. It’s no wonder; Barisan can now no longer count on the support of Malaysians, and neither can its leaders. Respect is something you have to earn, and can easily be lost; while Pakatan has been slowly building up respect, Barisan has only seen its reputation shredded over the years. Continue onto The Malaysian Insider.
What Khir Toyol ooops, Toyo is suggesting and proposing is an apartheid like state. As it is, it is already bad enough now. One last thing, Khir, I can bet my last dollar, my Malay friends, my band of brothers will no way treat me like the way you want them to treat me. They might probably would want to kick your sorry Indon arse back to Indonesia , if you do that to me-edit
