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."
Sim repeats call to stop outriders after 'Najib' convoy triggers backlash
Sunday, July 10, 2022
CitizenSaro : Remanded criminals cannot even go to the toilet so easily in a police station. But perhaps the IGP has set up a class or caste system for criminals ie. Elite criminals and common criminals.
Malaysiakini : Bukit Mertajam MP Steven Sim has repeated his call for police
outrider services to be terminated for ministers and deputy ministers,
and figures who are no longer in office.
This is after a video of
outriders cutting a path for an MPV - closely linked to former prime
minister Najib Abdul Razak - through what was allegedly a balik kampung traffic jam yesterday.
The MPV was a white Toyota Vellfire with the licence plate VBG 11 - which Najib is known to use. It is unclear if the Pekan MP was in the vehicle at the time, or where the video was taken.
Bukit Mertajam MP Steven Sim
Responding to the video, Sim said former office holders convicted of a crime should not get outrider services.
"The police's job is to nab robbers, don't use police to escort robbers. Protect our police's dignity!" he tweeted.
Najib has been convicted at the High Court and the Court of Appeal over the RM42 million criminal breach of trust and money laundering in the SRC International case.
He is also on trial for the 1MDB scandal.
