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."
Better under Harapan - Sabah reps hammer budget allocation
Sunday, October 09, 2022
Sabah tabah...
60 tahun sudah...
Apa bn beri, kena ludah...
Sekarang baru tahu tipu helah...
Ge15, bagi bn-pn kalah...
Hajiji sudah banyak bikin salah...
Menyabut budget macam coca cola....
Mana pergi you punya maruah....
Semua bagi bn-pn baruah - Loga
Phoong Jin Zhe
Malaysiakini : DAP's Luyang assemblyperson Phoong Jin Zhe has blasted the latest
Budget 2023, saying that the development expenditure ratio given to
Sabah is significantly lower than it was under the Pakatan Harapan
government.
"The recent Budget 2023 tabled by Finance Minister
Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz is obviously an election budget to fish votes,
with the highest ever development expenditure (DE) amounting to a total
of RM94.3 billion.
"However, Sabah was allocated RM6.3 billion for development expenditure, 6.6 percent of the total DE. "If you follow closely, Sabah’s DE has been reducing by ratio percentage every year," said Phoong (above) in a statement.
He cited that in 2020, the budget tabled by the Harapan government
allocated 9.3 percent of the total DE to Sabah whereas, PN allocated 7.3
percent in 2021, BN allocated 6.9 percent in 2022 and 6.6 percent in
2023.
"The people must break the myth and know the truth about
which government provided the most and fairer allocations for Sabah. The
Harapan government and former finance Lim Guan Eng allocated the most
development allocations for Sabah as proven by figures compared from
previous budgets," claimed Phoong, who is also Sabah DAP secretary.
He
said Chief Minister Hajiji Noor and PBS president Maximus Ongkili were
celebrating the budget in an apparent attempt to sugarcoat the failure
to provide a fair allocation for Sabah, which lags behind in
development.
"It
is disappointing to see there are opportunistic and populistic parties
trying to fan sentiments that Sabah only received RM6.3 billion out of
the total RM372.3 billion budget, that is totally irresponsible and
misleading to gain political mileage," he said.
MerdekaMerdekaMerdeka : Phoong just imagine, it took Sabahans just 2 budget allocation by LGE under PH government to realize Sabah was one of Malaysias two orphans. What were all you people thinking when you kept voting the SAME rogues into government at every GE, for DECADES before that? But it’s not too late to snap out of your slumber now. There’s still hope for a Better Malaysia. Cast a discerning vote this time.
Justice : What about allocation for the long awaited roads for rural areas in Sarawak which now after 59 years in Malaysia only rely on abandoned logging roads and rotting logs bridges? Shameful, disgraceful. And its continued insult and humiliation for Sarawakians 59 years in Malaysia!
5impleMind : Most Sabahans can only calculate the percentage of Sabah MPs in Parliament. And so they ask for more. They can't calculate the percentage of development expenditure that is declining year by year.
