Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
Malaysiakini: 'So Malunjum would be biased against Muslims just because he is non-Muslim?' Muslims restless as non-Muslims now 'control' legal system, PAS claims Bamboo: I do not care if a non-Muslim or a Muslim
judge is holding the top judiciary posts, as long as they carry out
their jobs without fear and favour. Is Nasrudin advocating that only Muslim judges can hold the top
posts, even though they carry out the bidding of a corrupt government
like we say during BN rule?
Justice: Well, PAS should go back to primary school
to learn about the history on the formation of the Federation of
Malaysia, the Malaysia Agreement 1963 and the Federal Constitution. The Federation of Malaysia comprises three equal partners (four
initially, but Singapore left), namely, the Federation of Malaya, Sabah
and Sarawak.
Except for what had been agreed and guaranteed in the Malaysia
Agreement and the federal constitution, such as Islam being the official
religion of Malaysia etc, equal partners means equal opportunity for
all Malaysians to hold any post in the government of Malaysia, including
its institutions such as the judiciary, the Attorney-General's Chambers
and Law Ministry, etc, regardless of race and religion.
If all posts or top posts in the government of Malaysia were to be
reserved exclusively only for a certain or particular race or religion,
or group or region, or for that matter, only for West Malaysians as
suggested or demanded by PAS now, surely and definitely the
representatives and the people of Sabah and Sarawak would not have
accepted or would not have agreed to form or to join the Federation of
Malaysia in 1963.
Yes, in the name of freedom of expression and democracy, PAS has the
right to express its views. But this kind of religious bigotry, such
very divisive, destructive and dangerous views and demands by PAS,
should be rejected outright by all Malaysians who love our beloved
country.
Speechless: As far as PAS is concerned, everything
revolves around race and religion. In their vocabulary, there are no
words such as meritocracy, good governance, integrity, rule of law and
justice. To them, a corrupt, incompetent and thoroughly dishonest Muslim is better than an honest, competent and intelligent non-Muslim.
P Dev Anand Pillai: When stuck and exposed for what
they are, they run for cover using religion. This is what the political
clergy in this nation is good at. The people are not going to buy this
nonsense anymore, the voting population has shown what it can do. The east coast electorate may still buy this nonsense, but not the
west coast population. Slowly but surely, more hypocrisy and nonsense
will come to the surface - let the people see and decide for themselves.
Vgeorgemy: Perhaps PAS should, in their own lingo,
accept and respect Godās command on the GE14 results, whereby God
rejected PAS' theology of racism on his people. God even rejected Nasrudin in the electoral contest. PAS is a godforsaken party, and its leadersā actions now serve to
challenge the will of God and become a party that doesnāt accept and
respect Godās plan for his rakyat.
