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."
Azmin Ali’s presence a provocation to rational Malaysians -- Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy
Thursday, August 11, 2022
Meerkat : The Sheraton master stroke turned out to be the death knell for this self serving traitor.
There is no escaping an ignominous end to his political career. Then begins his fight with the incumbent government on all the dirt that will be dug up on him. This should be an object lesson to all budding politicians.
At least Azmin would serve the country as a case study for treachery.
Malaysiakini : “If a man thinks he is not conceited, he is very conceited indeed.”
- C.S. Lewis
COMMENT
| In a recent presser, International Trade and Industry (Miti) Minister
Azmin Ali said: “Thus, I rarely talk about political issues at Miti and
I hope you will also not provoke me with political questions” - which
is complete horse manure.
In 2019 after the Semenyih by-election
loss, Azmin, who was the economic affairs minister and most probably in
collusion with other actors planning the fall of the Harapan government,
said: "We must
be brave and not hesitate in fulfilling our promises, especially on the
Malay and bumiputera agenda, which is an integral part of the national
agenda.
"We must do so without feeling apologetic or fearful of the criticism of others."
So
not only is Azmin hypocritical - which is axiomatic - he is playing the
same game now as he was playing then. He is making sub rosa moves to
destabilise the current government for his personal political benefit.
Keep
in mind that Bersatu, which Azmin latched on to, is composed of
individuals who were never really interested in a multi-racial
coalition. What they wanted was the disingenuous social contract that
was favoured by BN.
Cretins like former Pakatan Harapan entrepreneur development minister Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof,
then minister in the prime minister’s department in Perikatan Nasional,
who in the press “…..reiterated his stance that the Malays have
compromised too much with 'racists' and urged all to adhere to the
Federal Constitution.”
