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."
Finally I want to share my Teh Tarik Economic Theory with the DG of the JPA and all other Malay Civil Servants.
Saturday, July 02, 2022
OutSyed The Box : This is Malaysia's GDP - plus minus lah. It is between RM1,400 Billion - RM1,500 Billion.
A very large part of this GDP is generated by the non-Malays. If you ignore the oil and gas sector maybe close to 100% of the GDP is generated by the non Malays.
The Prime Minister said Malay corporate wealth is less than 17%. (This includes the GLCs, amanah saham etc). One Minister said Malay share of the economic growth is less than 10%. Someone else said the Malay share of the economy is less than 7%.
Tak kisahlah whether 17% ke, 10% ke, 7% ke just understand this - the Malay contribution to the GDP is very, very little.
Here is a soalan cepu mas - is this very low level of contribution to the GDP because the Malays work very, very hard or because the Malays do not work very hard? Please answer honestly.
Now please look at that teh tarik GDP example again. The Governments tax collection is about RM160 Billion. That is all the tax the government collects. The rest of the governments revenue comes from oil earnings, dividends etc. The annual Budget was RM332 Billion for 2022 - a big portion of that comes from borrowing money.
But the tax collection remains around RM160 Billion.
Now this is also the source of money to sustain the Malay economy. The Government spending for projects, paying the 1.7 million mostly Malay Civil Servants, paying the 1.3 million mostly Malay GLC workers, bailing out the failing bumiputra run GLCs, bailing out large bumiputera oil and gas companies, bailing out the pilgrims fund, bailing out the peneroka F_lda etc etc, paying for scholarships etc.
Now the people who generate that RM1,400 GDP are mostly the private sector people. Mostly non-Malays. They work very hard and plenty of the SMEs work SIX DAYS a week.
In my first job in Penang I worked for a company where we worked SIX days a week, until 6PM every day.
These are the people (mostly non Malays) who contribute that RM160 Billion tax collection every year.
Now the Malay-run Civil Service wants to use this RM160 Billion tax money generated by hard working mostly non-Malay people so that you can enjoy a FOUR DAY work week?
