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."
PW Cheng: PAS together with Umno think that they have the
numbers now and are rallying for a boycott with the skewed thinking of
using this to punish non-Malays. Most Malays are intelligent and
practical enough to know that this veiled threat will not work as almost
90 percent of products like computers, cameras, handphones, iPads, networking equipment, textiles, housewares, toys, aircraft or for that
matter anything that can make our lives easier are mostly from
non-Muslim countries.
If they want to boycott, please do not be a
hypocrite. You cannot even drive a Proton, especially the X70 or even
Myvi, as many of the components are from non-Muslim countries. And
please stop using handphones, WhatsApp and Waze. Go ahead and boycott, but make sure you don't eat your words.
Anonymous 770241447347646: How many of the products on the shelf in the department stores in Kelantan and Terengganu are made by non-Malays? How
many thousands of Malay staff will be unemployed if the boycott is
upheld? They are actually throwing salt into their own rice bowls. How
many more outlets all over the nation will suffer, especially the Malay
staff?
If Umno and PAS leaders are economically savvy, Kelantan
would not be in such a state. Thousands of their people leave to find
employment all over the country. Firstly, we have unqualified
leaders. Today after ruling the nation for so long, hundreds of
thousands leave Malaysia to find employment all over the world. Instead,
they attract lowly paid labourers to migrate to the country looking for
work while intellectuals leave in droves.
The people pinned their
hope in Pakatan Harapan to change all that, but they have been
disappointing. They are just continuing all of Umno's policies and
ideas. If this continues, there will be many more who would definitely
try to migrate to foreign countries. To PAS and Umno, it will be like good riddance to bad rubbish, but the best brains will be lost to other nations.
Iphonezours:
PAS, your type of governance is the root cause why so many Kelantanese
youth have moved to the west coast to find jobs. It is because you just
don’t have the brains to manage the state economy and create jobs. Look at Terengganu, now you want to make an issue out of women’s gymnastics just because of attire. With such a narrow mentality, your type of governance will only make Malaysia a failed state.
