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."
'Anyone can die anywhere' - PKR Youth leader calls for Hamzah's sacking
Wednesday, June 29, 2022
Hamzah Zainudin
Vijay47 : Johor PKRās Lau Yi Leong, you may as well bay at the moon or urge the incoming tide to retreat. There will be no dismissal, not even a reprimand against Hamzah Zainuddin, least of all from that pathetic excuse of a prime minister, Ismail Sabri, himself terrified whether his political life ends today or tomorrow.
In what pejorative words can we accurately describe that minister and the defence he haughtily pronounced in an effort at justification? Callous, insensitive, crude, rude, ignorant, uneducated, arrogant, irresponsible, base? They are all equally appropriate yet insufficient even together to express our contempt for such shameless vermin as Hamzah Zainuddin that local politics produce.
We witness again the sorry depths into which those in authority would collapse, especially when they believe themselves to be linchpins irreproachable and omnipotent in what now passes off as the Malaysian government. But I believe the rot set long before they entered the public eye. When a person is devoid in youth of teachings that reveal the light, of proper upbringing learned on motherās lap, we see the inevitable likes of this Home Minister.
Remember, Hamzah Zainuddin, many have sought it but immortality eludes all. Cometh soon that day.
Malaysiakini : A PKR Youth leader has called for the sacking of Home Minister Hamzah
Zainudin over the latterās remarks regarding the deaths of migrants in
Sabah immigration detention centres.
Johor PKR Youth legal bureau
chief Lau Yi Leong made the call yesterday, pointing out that the
government has shown no intention to investigate the rising cases of
deaths in immigration custody.
āIf the government still maintains
any belief in human rights, I call upon Prime Minister Ismail Sabri
Yaakob to immediately remove Hamzah as home minister.
āForm a
Royal Commission of Inquiry and investigate conditions of the
immigration detention centres, the widespread corrupt practice within
the Immigration Department and the rising number of deaths in the
immigration detention centres,ā said Lau, adding that the move must be
made with a view to implement urgent reforms to the immigration
detention centres.
