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."

"Two Bright Bulbs"
First it was Khat now this!!!! East Malaysians take note!!!!-edit. Science, Maths and English teachers from Saudi Arabia? By Syed Akbar Ali
Pak Arab English teachers ??
There is no science in Saudi Arabia.
300 scholarships for Malaysian undergraduates to study in Saudi Arabia?
To prepare for the 21st century educational system?
What is wrong with this dunggu fellow?
What is wrong with Dr Mahathir?
Wikipedia says education in Saudi Arabia is ranked 145 out of 200 countries. I think Wiki[edia is being generous.
Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, ranked Saudi Arabia 80th out of 180 countries. I think Transparency International is being biased TOWARDS Saudi Arabia.
In Press Freedom Saudi Arabia is ranked 163 out of 167 countries. (Because once in a while they murder and chop up journalists.)
Their democracy index is ranked about 160++ out of 167 countries.
Out of a population of about 30+ million, almost NINE million are foreigners, working in Saudi Arabia.
All the important technical and engineering jobs in Saudi Arabia are actually done by foreign expats (from India, Pakistan, Egypt etc.)
Not by Saudis.
Unemployment in Saudi Arabia is now 10% or more.
The Saudi Air Force is flown by many Pakistani pilots.
The Saudi Royal family body guard are made up of Pakistani soldiers.
There are TWO school systems in Saudi Arabia.
One is the government school for Saudis.
The other is the private schools for children of the NINE million expatriates living in Saudi Arabia.
Here is some "trivia" about Saudi education :
The Philosophy of Saudi Education
Education Based on the Teachings of Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab
Spreading Wahabism throughout the World
From an early age, schoolchildren are taught about Jihad
That the Whole World Should Convert to Wahabism
Exporting the Saudi Education System.
Spreading Wahabism throughout the world is emphasized on numerous occasions in the official Saudi document authored by the Higher Committee for Educational Policy.
For example, students are taught: "to plant and spread the Wahabi Islamic creed, and that "preaching of Islam throughout the world … is the duty of the state and its citizens.
The Saudi curriculum also educates students on the importance of "propagating Wahabism in all areas of our globe . .." So now these people are going to come here ??
The Borneo Post : KUALA LUMPUR: The Saudi Arabian government has agreed to send over
their teachers specialising in English, Mathematics and Science to
Malaysia, for training to prepare for the 21st Century educational
system.
The Education Ministry in a statement yesterday said an agreement was
reached in a meeting between Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik and
Saudi Arabia’s Education Minister Dr Hamad bin Mohammed Al Shaikh.
“Saudi teachers teaching these three subjects will be here to gain
teaching experience. The meeting was held to exchange of ideas and get
to know the capabilities of teachers of both countries.“The Saudi government had also agreed to grant 300 scholarships to
Malaysian undergraduates pursuing studies in the fields of science and
technology,” the statement said. Malaysia is confident that the cooperation is part of efforts to strengthen bilateral relations between the two nations.
Yesterday Maszlee was sent as a special envoy on behalf of Prime
Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to meet with Saudi Arabia’s King, King
Salman Abdulaziz Al Saud to discuss issues affecting both countries
including cooperation in education. – Bernama
