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."
LTTE arrests: Muhyiddin can't show proof but defends right to use Sosma - Ng Xiang Yi
Tuesday, July 26, 2022
WaLid JumbLatt : Muydin Muydin Muydin.... All your Lies & Deceptive behaviour is catching up with you...... It's called karma
Muhyiddin Yassin
Malaysiakini : PARLIAMENT | Muhyiddin Yassin
(PN-Pagoh) has defended his decision to allow the police to detain 12
individuals with alleged links with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam
(LTTE) in 2019.
However, when pressed by opposition MPs, he was
unable to provide evidence that the 12 had links with LTTE - a group
that was already defunct at the time but still considered a terrorist
group by Malaysia.
Instead, Muhyiddin told the Dewan Rakyat that
his decision as home minister at the material time was necessitated by
Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma), which the then
Pakatan Harapan did not disturb.
"At the time, we were reviewing
(the laws) but the cabinet did not make any decision... When I made the
decision... it was based on (the results of) police investigations.
"I can't say if the (inspector-general of police) at the time was
lying or not. I acted based on the law and (executed) my duties
entrusted by the cabinet," he added.
Muhyiddin's revelation
occurred during the debate on a motion to extend of the enforcement of
Subsection 4(5) of Sosma for another five years beginning this July 31.
This
law allowed the police to detain suspects for 28 days. Section 31 of
the law allowed the home minister to make regulations for carrying out
the law.
When it was Muhyiddin's turn to debate, RSN Rayer
(Harapan-Jelutong) repeatedly asked for proof to show that those with
alleged LTTE links were indeed involved with terrorist activities and
thus justifying the application of Sosma.
