Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
How much of LCS RM1.7b was spent on cotton buds, asks Rafizi
Thursday, August 25, 2022
Steven Ong : Billions and billions are wasted , lost and stolen by the people who declared themsleves as the defenders and care takers of the Malay majority.
The responsibility for all these are the Malay voters who believed their protectors, in return for secured jobs, easy jobs, over bloated companies and ministries and the easy admission into the local universities which in turn produces the lazy, incompetent and lying workers and officers who are now in the infamous spot light . The whole world is watching and the neighbors are laughing .
We now call upon all voters to repent and help safe Malaysia from joining the ruined countries on earth. Do not vote for anyone from Umno, PAS, Bersatu and Pejuang . These are the parties linked to the infamous court cases today.
Once you repented , you are forgiven and becomes a new creation.
Malaysiakini : In the latest salvo involving the littoral combat ship (LCS) scandal,
PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli has questioned how much of the RM1.7
billion allocation was actually an overcharge for regular items that
could be bought in a Mydin or a 7-11 mart.
With that, he called
for Minister in the Prime Ministerās Department (Special Functions)
Abdul Latiff Ahmad to be fired from the cabinet. Earlier on, he
questioned Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin who has suddenly piped up
to claim credit for the jailing of former premier Najib Abdul Razak,
asking him whether he was really sincere about battling corruption.
"Since I revealed a person named Zainab Mohd Salleh as an individual connected to the LCS project and named her as Latiffās wife, Latiff (above) has not unconditionally denied the statement. "The only statement released was before I revealed Zainabās identity.
Latiff's denial (that Zainab is not his second wife) is clearly
referring to another individual and intended to mislead people," he
said.
PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli
Rafizi
said that a significant portion of Alizes Marine Limited contracts
(which he called a bogus company set up for the misappropriation of
funds) with the LCS ship contract was to supply replacement equipment
(āspare partsā) for the ship.
"After obtaining a contract to
supply spare parts from the LCS project, invoices with false addresses
were sent and payment instructions diverted funds to different companies
registered in Malta and Labuan," he claimed. āThe bank account
used is also from Singapore, not in France," he said, referring to the
fact that Alizes Marine is a French-based company.
