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."
Rafizi claims Najib’s associate 'gave away' control of LCS subcontractor
Thursday, August 11, 2022
MerdekaMerdekaMerdeka : LTATs CEO? You were appointed and entrusted to make decisions to the best interest of our Tentera and the nation.
And you didn't do that, nothing close even. You were just a free riding gajibuta at LTAT?
So, what was the price of betrayal then? How much was your “kesetiaan kepada raja dan negara” pros.ti.tuted for?
When this comes to an end, will it be possible to throw this free-loadin traitor and the other 3 buggers into the same cell?
Malaysiakini : PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli today claimed that an associate of
former premier Najib Abdul Razak had effectively ceded the Armed Forces
Pension Fund (LTAT)'s control over the littoral combat ship (LCS)
project to a foreign company despite holding a majority stake.
However,
former LTAT chief executive officer Lodin Wok Kamaruddin, as then
Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation (BHIC) chairperson, said he failed
to recall the board's decision supposedly made in August 2010.
Former LTAT chief executive officer Lodin Wok Kamaruddin
Rafizi
said even though Contraves Advanced Devices Sdn Bhd (CAD) and Contraves
Electrodynamics Sdn Bhd (CED) were associate companies of LTAT, control
over decisions was allegedly held by a foreign company - German defence
contractor Rheinmetall Air Defence AG (RAD).
He said BHIC as
LTAT's subsidiary had approved the purchase of a 51 percent share in CAD
on April 28, 2010, while the remaining 49 percent was owned by RAD.
"In the purchase agreement dated Aug 13, 2010, between BHIC (through
its subsidiary) and RAD (through its subsidiary) for 51 percent stake in
CAD, BHIC agreed that RAD has management control over CAD, despite BHIC
holding a majority stake," claimed Rafizi.
He further claimed the "illogical decision" was agreed to by Lodin. "Due to the illogical decision, CAD is only owned by Boustead (and LTAT) on paper," he said. When contacted, Lodin said he could not recall the board's decision made 12 years ago.
