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."
No additional govt funds to complete first LCS - Hishammuddin By Alyaa Alhadjri
Wednesday, August 17, 2022
Malaysiakini : Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein today said ongoing
construction of the first littoral combat ship (LCS 1) will not involve
new allocations from the government.
At the same
time, Hishammuddin said additional allocations for Boustead Naval
Shipyard (BNS) to complete the remaining five LCS will only be
considered after completion of LCS 1 in reportedly another two years,
despite an initial targeted date in 2019.
Kerismuddin has the temerity to wave our flag, in his sullied hands
“The first
ship will not involve injection of new funds,” Hishammuddin said during
a press conference at Wisma Pertahanan in Kuala Lumpur today.
When
asked whether more funds could be channelled to BNS for the remaining
ships, including the sixth which has yet to begin construction,
Hishammuddin said: “Maybe. But for me, prove that we can first complete
the first ship.”
“If we can’t even do that, there is no point thinking of
additional allocations,” he said after attending the Defence Ministry’s
launch of its Merdeka month celebrations, as well as the Armed Forces
Fund (LTAT)’s 50th anniversary.
Deep Thought : All the fund allocated already kena sapu.
Pesticides : Just wondering why is the government so lenient in dealing with the contractor? In my previous experiences, once a contractor delay, the liquidated damages (penalty) will be applied, and the contractor will be sued until pant dropped. Here the contractor is not accountable for nothing, not being sued, no penalty.... How nice to be a government contractor like this.
Mano : Podah!!!
I wouldn't even allow you fellows to take care of my grandchild's piggy bank.
By the way, what happened to the Duke Highway issue, Ekovest and your brother Haris implicated ??
Krabian : After being exposed, those involved suddenly seem to have come to their senses. Maybe the thought of Sg Buloh Resort is a good reminder.
IndigoHorse9495 : Hishamuddin says LCS is an election ploy.What a real stupid excuse for all the dirty corruption taking place.Resign lah and face the the bitter truth.You are too a major player in this fiasco
