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."
Apex court throws out Najib's bid, Sri Ram stays as DPP
Monday, May 23, 2022
Malaysiakini : Former federal court judge Gopal Sri Ram will remain as ad hoc deputy
public prosecutor in Najib Abdul Razak’s 1MDB criminal cases.
The
apex court this morning rejected an application by the former prime
minister for leave to commence an appeal to recuse private lawyer Sri
Ram from prosecuting his case.
In a unanimous ruling, the
three-person Federal Court bench chaired by Mohd Zawawi Salleh ruled
that there is no novel question of law that requires the apex court to
hear the merits of the appeal.
The judge noted that the issue of
appointment of a practicing lawyer as ad hoc DPP has already been
settled in two appeals in 2014.
Zawawi was referring to the legal bids by Anwar Ibrahim then to
challenge the appointment of lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah as ad hoc
prosecutor in the opposition leader’s Sodomy 2 appeal.
Shafee is also acting as Najib’s lawyer in today’s apex court matter.
JBond : The worms are stuck in the worm hole with this ruling. No more room to remove the highly competent DPP who will nail them for good. Sri Ram, please do the country proud by putting these low lifes away ASAP. They should be in Sungai Buloh long ago. The fear they have in you tell us you are a no nonsense lawyer and judge that deserve recognition by Bolehland once the case is finished.
