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."
Audit your GE14 promises to Indians first, MIC chief tells Anwar
Wednesday, September 14, 2022
Malaysiakini : Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim should "audit" Pakatan Harapan's
special manifesto for Indians made during the 14th general election
first, before talking about conducting forensic audits on three
Indian-related establishments.
"I want to tell Anwar, that what he
must do is audit Harapan's promises made to Indians during GE14 first,
to see how many of them have been fulfilled.
"We (BN) have handed
them the action plans, but they (Harapan) did not execute any of them
during their 22-month rule. So, Anwar should look at that first," MIC
president SA Vigneswaran told Malaysiakini today.
He was
responding to Anwar's recent statement that should Harapan return to
power in the next general election, it would conduct forensic audits
on investment company Maika Holdings Bhd, MICās educational arm Maju
Institute of Educational Development (MIED), and the Malaysian Indian
Transformation Unit (Mitra).
Ponmalai : I am an Indian. Do we need a party solely for the Indians. If it is a must then letās look at the track record of MIC . As much as we do not like UMNO spearheading the interest of the Malays why do we need MIC for the Indians.
A multi racial party like PKR would be a better platform to voice our grouses. I was an investor with Maika holdings and I am aware of the returns I had after umpteen years. Talk is cheap. Saudara Anwar is certainly right.
Koel : So good to see your face now that elections is round the corner Mr Whatever your name. But why should Anwar or anyone else do your audit when allegations are about your party and its role in making people's funds disappear? Let's start with Maika.
What have you and your party members done to return the hard earned money of poor Malaysians of Indians ethnicity who lost to dubious schemes? Do you even know the names of those poor folks?
And what transparent investigations have you conducted into allegations against MIED and MITRA? Enough of the strut and swagger. Let's see some real work for the people. If you dont have thst courage,may be time to hold your tongue.
drngsc : PH in 22 months, did not form companies, and steal rakyat's money meant for the Indian Community.
Cogito Ergo Sum : Vignes, at least they tried. But your āinside manā TDM dismantled everything from within PH. If there is nothing to hide, why do you fear a forensic audit of all the huge MIC projects that went bust?
Why donāt you call Anwarās bluff and do a forensic yourself now before GE15? You wonāt. Because there is too much to hide and too many will be exposed for putting their hands in the muruku jar.
