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."
Ringgit affected if US$600m leaves Najib's account - banker By Hidir Reduan Abdul Rashid
Thursday, September 29, 2022
Malaysiakini : 1MDB TRIAL | A banker testified
that the foreign exchange market would take position and affect the
value of the ringgit if participants find out that US$600 million was
transferred out of then-premier Najib Abdul Razak’s account.
Yap
Wai Keat - who is the head of AmBank’s capital market desk - was giving
oral evidence in this afternoon's RM2.28 billion 1MDB corruption trial
against Najib.
During cross-examination by defence counsel Wan
Aizuddin Wan Mohammed, the 38th prosecution witness was explaining the
reason why the accused's account ending with 694 with the commercial
bank was designated as "AmPrivate Banking MR" rather than his name.
The lawyer was asking why, despite the designation, Yap was still able to testify that the bank account belonged to Najib.
Anonymous_47029368 : Talking nonsense. If transfer in out within Malaysia, its left pocket to right pocket, where can affect value of ringgit? If transfer the RM600 million overseas, then Bank Negara would be alerted and take the necessary actions and would be expected to ask questions "Why transfer such huge amount overseas ??? from a personal account ??? Something fishy here ??? "
Newday : “With 600 Million we have to be more careful”. Obvious red flag. Yet they chose to be ‘careful’ as it was the PM’s account.
No wonder ANZ pulled out of its relationship with Ambank.
No wonder Ambank have been subject to a huge fine by BNM. I eternally wonder what the CEO was going to expose before he was shot dead in a central KL carpark around midday all those years ago.
