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."
DBP Act amendments on use of BM to be tabled soon - DBP DG

Abang Sallehuddin Abang Shokeran, another fat man with nothing to do
AnonLone1945 : Sila buat pindaan undang2 cepat! Petuduh pertama harus didakwa ialah DBP sendiri. Tuduhan - harapkan pagar, pagar makan padi!
Semakan atas sejarah DBP jelas menunjukkan DBP sendiri telah menganiaya Bahasa Melayu dgn mengunakan istilah bahasa Inggeris!
Diantara contohnya - ilmu alam jadi 'geografi'; rumusan jadi 'sinopsis'; istirehat jadi 'rekreasi'; dan banyak lagi! Harap jangan terjemahkan 'bodoh sombong' kpd Inggeris!
Malaysiakini : Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) is amending the DBP Act 1959 to be
tabled in Parliament as soon as possible to ensure that the use of the
Malay language is enhanced and upheld as the national language which is
the foundation of national identity, said its director-general, Abang
Sallehuddin Abang Shokeran.
He said the amendments would also
empower the agency in ensuring that the official language enshrined in
the Federal Constitution is not neglected.
"This amendment
empowers DBP in terms of enforcement and legal action if there is a
violation of the use of the Malay language and among the things proposed
is an action against any party who deliberately insults and denigrates
the national language.
"This (amendment) is done based on the
existing rules and laws, it is not to inconvenience any party but to
ensure harmony among the people based on the Constitution and Rukun
Negara," he told reporters today.
