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."
Dr M says ancestry does not make him 'less Malay' in suit against Zahid
Tuesday, September 13, 2022
Malaysiakini : Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has claimed that Ahmad Zahid Hamidi deliberately raised racial issues in addition to damaging his reputation as an influential political figure in the eyes of the world.
Mahathir (above, right), 97, said in his suit against Zahid (above, left) that his ancestry does not make him “less Malay” or “non-Malay”.
“This was also brought up by the defendant (Zahid) only after I was no longer with Umno, which clearly shows the defendant’s motives and bad intentions.”
Claimed Mahathir in response to Zahid’s defence statement, which was filed on Sept 8.
Mahathir filed a lawsuit against Zahid, 69, on July 20 for allegedly issuing defamatory statements on the former prime minister’s ancestry.
anonymous who : If father is Indian, then you are just Indian, That's the way. Nothing wrong to be an Indian. I don't understand why MM is so shame of being an Indian and instead keep calling himself a Malay.
That's really strange. Please have some respect for Kutty. He fathered you.
Zahid is Indonesian. He is most probably not Malay too.
You guys just have too much time and money for nonsense.
Steven Ong : Two descendants of immigrants arguing who is more Malu. Malu is not a race but it seem that these two are saying 'Malay' is not a race but a privileged member of a privileged club of upper class humans.
The other Malays who can be a Muslim or Christian or Hindu or Buddhist cannot be a member of this exclusive club where they received first choice treatment in all things like businesses and high paying positions. These are the constitutional Malays while the others are ethnic Malays. This is the fact of a race and a club member
SurpriseSurprise : Zahid Hamidi deliberately raised racial issues against you? Well Mahatir, you reap what you sow, no? And this Zahid Hamidi himself is from Indonesia, questioning the Malay ethnicity of others! What a hypocrite!
Anonymous_47029368 :
If Malays are not those with Indian origin, how about Malays with Indonesian origin ??? Those with Arab origin? Those with Pakistani or Bangladeshi origin ?
If go on like that, Umno will need to do a ancestry checkup for all its members to determine who are 'real Malays' . Better do it before the coming GE15 in selecting only 'real Malay' candidates... kahkahkah...
