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."
'Racist, prejudiced, obsessed, insensitive' - Zahid chastises Thomas
Wednesday, September 21, 2022
Zahid has two faces...
One to deface , the other in facebook preface....
In floods we have good space.....
For elections in a fast disorderly pace....
In sunshine, too many excuses for court case....
Nutcase Zahid is reluctant to carry suitcase ....
Full of suits for corruption, which are phase by phase....
But shift his burden on rakyat to vote in a daze....
When thunderstorms strike with lightning blaze....
A selfish politico with head like haze....
Is dangerous for leading rakyat in a maze.
Malaysiakini : Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has rained criticisms on former
attorney-general Tommy Thomas for his “irresponsible and insensitive”
remarks. He was referring to Thomas’ suggestion at a recent forum
that the opposition capitalises on the perception that the current
Malay-dominated government has failed.
“Thomas praised the Pakatan
Harapan government when the Harapan government was also administered by
Malays. In fact, many of them are now in the Perikatan Nasional
government.
“There are also ethnic Indians, Chinese and Dayak (in
the PN government). This means Thomas is too obsessed and prejudiced to
the point of hurling labels at Malays without looking at the bigger
picture,” he added in a statement issued in his capacity as BN
chairperson.
Although Zahid said Harapan was led by Malays, he had previously
questioned the ancestry of the coalition’s prime minister Dr Mahathir
Mohamad, which is now the subject of a defamation suit.
‘This attitude is not new’
According
to the Umno president, Thomas has forgotten how he was appointed as
attorney-general by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong despite being criticised
for his lack of proficiency in the national language.
“This
attitude is not new. In his (Thomas) book, he claimed that Malay-centric
parties bring disastrous consequences. He should not make sweeping
statements as it displays his prejudice and gives the impression that he
is Malayphobic.
Kilimanjaro : Do we really need a Tommy Thomas to say that it has been UMNO's agenda of racist policies that has plagued the country for so long. Thomas said it aloud and clearly, that's all. Does Zahid remember UMNO's racist agenda was played to the hilt during the ICERD and the Rome Statute issue?
Can Zahid tell us how many Islamic countries have rejected both-Malaysia and Brunei. That makes this country as crudely racist, and worse, institutionalised racism.
When Thomas was appointed the AG, UMNO couldn't bear a NM holding that position. Who can forget how UMNO and Tok Mat was banging the issue of race and religion during by-elections?
It was so shameful and demeaning that no decent NM should or would vote for UMNO Malays. And that includes those from PAS and Bersatu.
Anwar is a Malay. So are Khalid Samad and Mat Sabu. NM do not go around and belittle them as Malays. In fact, they hold them in high esteem. So, Zahid should stop the charade of inciting Malays for his lost cause. He is one of those Malays who stand accused of multiple charges while in office.
What happened to the "Malay" Govt championed by UMNO, Bersatu and PAS?
At loggerheads and pulling in different directions, Zahid wants elections now but PAS and Bersatu are saying nahe nahe. There is neither unity nor consensus. It is a marriage of convenience to keep PH out. If PH is in office, more of 1MDB and LCS cases may have come out. Zahid should focus on his cases that have been on his head instead of picking quarrels with someone who states the obvious.
Truth hurts.
Just one more thing. He should have heard of the controversy where the KL mufti has said saying RIP by Muslims to NM is forbidden and has been affirmed by Idris Ahmad. Apparently it seems that non-Muslims would go to hell. Can Zahid comment on this? Nothing from Muyhiddin, nothing from the Rulers? I am proud to come from a race that had affirmed more than 2500 years ago that "We harbour a. feeling of kinship for all places and. all people are our own" by Kaniyan Pongundranar (Yathum ure Yaavarum Kelir).
A Japanese University had inscribed these words both in Japanese and in Tamil. Abdul Kalam, the former Indian President and a Muslim himself had said the importance of this when addressing the European Parliament. In holy Jerusalem where the Ten Commandments had been inscribed on stone in 23 languages and the first language inscribed on is in Tamil. Coming from such a "rich" background, we don't want to squabble and speak less of people of other races and faiths.
Respecting other beliefs and faiths have been instilled in us by our parents and culture.
For all those who hide behind the mask like Zahid, let me ask one simple question - if UMNO and the other Malay parties come to power, would Zahid or UMNO appoint a NM as the next IGP to prove that they are not racists?
Tyrion Lannister : When PH was the ruling party, what did you call them? Chinese dominated government. Then, you set up the Melayu Islam government. Since this government is failing, who failed? Chinese, Indian, Kadazan?
BlueToucan9841 : Thomas calls a spade a spade. Truth hurts and much more as he faces the courts cases
Vent : I was going to say it takes a thief to catch a thief but the analogy is a poor one. Zahid is the President of a racist party. TT was part of the only truly multiracial government that the racist cohorts toppled illegitimately! As for being "prejudiced" it's a toss up. We are all hot houses of personal biases and prejudices! We'll strike that out then as TT may well be as charged. But "obsessed" and "insensitive"? Now now just who's talking folks? The man who is helĺ bent on the elections being called in November when parts of the nation may well be swamped by floods? Give us a break! Your script writer should be fired Zahid and you hopefully sentenced before the elections! As for TT his Achilles heel may well be that he is impetuously brutally frank! But hey that's not a crime in any book. But corruption and that too 47 charges definitely is!
NATO regime : Non malay cannot join mara, uitm, vuy ASB shares, GLC head and top mgmt team all malays, KWSP mostly money belongs to non malays top mgmt mostly malays, Petronas Malaysia top mgmt all malays control, Police top force all malay leaders, Army all Malay leaders, Sime Darby GLC all malay top leaders, PLUS highway all top malay top leaders, all the MB except Pinang are malays, GLC Felda all the top leadership are malays, the list just goes on.... You can keep cheating kg folks, please go ahead.
docsarna : Racists is when only one race predominates every govt posts, given priority right from education to contracts to taxes . When they question what else the Chinese wanytafter they lost the elections.
Obsessive is when they take a huge pie of the economy and threw the crumbs to the others and say we share our wealth.
When all their cronies and family gets govt contracts that later is subbed to the actual deserving candidates.
Insensitive is when u can allow open criticism of other races by a wanted person elsewhere ( for terrorism related activities) and give him Citizenship. Insensitive is when u give Citizenship to a footballer who barely speaks malay but deny those who were born and brought up here just based on some still controversial words in the constitution.
Insensitive is when u can blame others for corruption but forgot who the actual beneficiaries are .
Prejudiced is when u say that you met the so phantom donors without even going there .. when u assume all Indians are alcoholic and openly allowed that to be mentioned in the parliament without any apology.
