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."
Generic drugs ineffective in lowering Najib’s blood pressure, court hears By Hidir Reduan Abdul Rashid
Wednesday, September 14, 2022
Malaysiakini : Najib Abdul Razak’s defence counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah has
disputed Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin’s claim that generic
medication is sufficient to lower the former prime minister’s blood
pressure.
The lawyer also claimed that the ministry had initially
wanted to transfer Najib from Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) to the
National Heart Institute (IJN).
During the mention of Najib’s
RM2.28 billion 1MDB corruption case before the Kuala Lumpur High Court
today, Shafee made the contention about the generic medicine in response
to news reports on Khairy’s statement yesterday.
The counsel
told the court that Najib’s blood pressure only began coming down to
normal after the medication was restored to the original medication
which he was taking earlier.
“Now, they have restored the medicine he (Najib) is accustomed to, he
is seeing his blood pressure come down but it was not satisfactory,
(back) to the original blood pressure (reading).
“Even though the
switch back to the original medicine is working, he is still not back to
normal, testing is still being done,” the lawyer said this afternoon.
Dr Raman Letchumanan : I would think prisoner Najib Tun Razak is doing just fine.
A person who lived in luxury, fine food, waiters and officers at his beck and call, the whole country at his feet, not to mention international fame and rubbing shoulders with the world's who's who, suddenly being incarcerated and his personal freedom snatched would never be able to take it and may even go mad.
Najib is handling it well. Stomach ulcers, fluctuating blood pressure etc are all symptoms of extreme stress and anxiety. Najib just needs some rest which he has plenty and take some basic medication.
It would help if Najib is refered to a psychiatrist and a psychologist to calm him down and counsel him to accept prison life, not fight it.
Contact with his lawyers should be kept to a minimum, what with them turning into doctors, and worse giving false hopes that Najib will be free soon. Probably it is also a withdrawal symptom seeing his lawyers who promised so much but he ended up in jail so soon and unceremoniously.
Sign of revulsion and extreme hatred. Just look at the smugness and sneer in the hot-shot lawyer's face
I wish Najib well. I just wish Najib would finger all his partners in crime, the main person being JL. Why should Najib suffer alone?
