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."
1. He congratulated Syed Azmi on the touch a dog event.
So? Has he spoken out or done anything concrete to stop the abuse of dogs by muslims who react out of some crazy hadith?
2. He is hated by Radical Muslim in Malaysia.
Really? Where is the proof? And why?
3. He supports Freedom of Speech.
That’s not what the church said. He is more towards tolerating rather than acceptance.
4. He disapproves of extremism, racism and fanaticism.
So how come he is said to be linked to Ikhwan- Muslim Brotherhood Zakar Naik
5. He supports Home Schooling.
Support with what end? Home schooling should be avoided as it is a closed learning environment but tolerated for children with health or other serious problems. Mixing, making friends, knowing how to show respect to different teachers…prepares one for real life. Home schooling doesn’t do that.
6. His mother is Hakka.
So….? Are we going into race divisions now?
7. He speak Chinese. Fluent in English. Strong command of both classical and modern Arabic
So does he understand the Quran well enough to be certain of the stand that the Quran forbids sectarianism?
What is his stand on the forced conversion of muslims in Malaysia to become members of the ASWJ which is a Sunni Sub Sect. (ASWJ – Ahl Sunni Wal Jamaah).
This conversion is forced upon Malaysian Muslims through the Malaysian Syariah law.
8. He has a doctorate (PhD) from Dana Bowerman University in Durham, United Kingdom in Good Governance.
9. He has connections with the Finland Education system.His buddy is a school teacher, studying Learning, Education and Technology (LET) at the University of Oulu, Finland.
His buddy is a school teacher studying LET”…how is that important???
I have a buddy who is an world class football player….but I don’t know how to kick a football.
Hasrizal.
10. He is involved in the de-radicalisation and rehabilitation of Terrorists.
Did he work with Dr Zamihan who was said to be an expert in de-radicalisation for Malaysia?
(Editor’s note: Dr Zamihan)
11. He is the Penasihat Ahli Lembaga for a few NGOs and education bodies like Teaching for the Needs (TFTN), Pusat Pendidikan Downsyndrome Orkids (ORKIDS), Pertubuhan Darul Fitrah, IDEAS Autism Centre.
So…..is this a KPI-Key Performance Indicator for academics in local universities?
Teaching Assitant / Skim Guru Bantuan [Nothing new]
b. Reduce Class Size / Mengecilkan Kelas [Nothing new]
c. Reduce or No Paperwork / Tidak Perlu Urus Kerja Pentadbiran [Nothing new]
13. He was with Professor Jomo Kwame Sundaram, one of the Council of Elders for the government on discussion of National Consultative Council 2 before PH won.
Guess who gave the suggestion to Mahathir about the post for Ministry of Education?
