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."
Najib's supporters furious with 'cruel' Ismail Sabri
Thursday, August 25, 2022
Newday : Sorry, but you lot whether you are aware or not are thumbing your noses at the laws of the land. Your argument for interference is illogical, irrational and quite frankly delusional. It is almost frightening for standard citizen reading this that you feel and act this way.
Malaysiakini : For decades, the prevailing perception is that the
constitutional principle of separation of powers is open to abuse in
Malaysia.
Although Umno’s top leadership has denied
asking Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob to intervene in their court
cases, Najib Abdul Razak’s supporters appeared furious that strings were
not pulled to ensure a favourable outcome.
“Betrayal!”
This
is how Jalinan Perpaduan Negara Malaysia president Syed Muhammad Imran
described the Federal Court’s decision after leading some 300 supporters
to submit a memorandum to Istana Negara asking the Yang di-Pertuan
Agong to pardon the former premier.
Giving the impression that it is common for the executive to
persecute political rivals, the Umno member said he could understand if
this happened during Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin’s tenure as
prime minister.
“But this is a BN government and the
person you betrayed is a BN leader who has contributed a lot to the
nation. If (Najib) was not there, Umno would have been destroyed,” he
added.
Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob
So appalled was Syed Muhammad that he even contemplated doing the unthinkable for an Umno member - join DAP. “Might
as well work with DAP. They stand together with their leaders even if
they are languishing in prison. Umno is only powerful on social media
but is afraid to hit the streets,” he said.
