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."
The Perikatan Nasional government should not be losing sleep over a
no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin if the
coalition has the required support of federal lawmakers, according to
Ambiga Sreenevasan.
Contrary to PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang's
argument, she also said a vote of no-confidence is not tantamount to
disrespecting the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Read it all here..................
No-confidence vote disrespectful to Agong - Hadi Bawang . A vote of no-confidence in Parliament against the new prime minister is akin to a no-confidence vote against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, said PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
"Those who want a vote of no-confidence are the ones who don't trust His Majesty... It is up to the public to assess (such behaviour)," said Hadi during a press conference in Marang, Terengganu, today.
asitis: A vote of no confidence in Dewan Rakyat is not a vote against the Agong but a vote against the sitting PM. The Agong, being a constitutional monarch and the country's supreme head of state, is above and untouched by parliamentary processes and proceedings, including a vote of no confidence. If Hadi does not know this much, he has no business being an MP, much less to be in the government.
What Hadi said is an affront to the nature of the position of the Agong as the supreme head of state of this nation. He is being disrespectful of the position of the Agong.
In fact Hadi is actually afraid that he may lose his place in the government if Muhyiddin is removed by a vote of no confidence. Therefore Hadi is trying to confuse his poor supporters so that they will oppose the vote of no confidence motion in parliament. He has no respect for the democratic principle and process.
cocomomo : If you clowns loose the no confidence motion, it means you misled the Agung into believing you had a majority when did not have it . If you have the majority you would be more than willingly to convene the parliament ASAP to prove you have the majority.
Hadi , you are already the brunt of jokes among Malaysians - Muslims & non Muslims .
If you are not familiar with democracy, please get one if your more knowledgeable leaders to educate you so that you do not appear to be stupid.
