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."

Malaysiakini : COMMENT | As predictable as they
come, the goodies are being promised albeit in a way that had never been
done before. The Budget 2023 has yet to be debated and approved but the
money is starting to be spent.
Although in caretaker status, the
government and prime minister included, have limited power and cannot
give out government allocations or “goodies” to get support from voters. By
convention, when there is no government when Parliament is dissolved
and an election is called, the prime minister and his cabinet are
expected to operate as a caretaker government.
They should not
make any major policy decisions, make major appointments, enter into any
major contracts or undertakings, involve civil servants in their
campaign activities or give any allocations using public funds.
Vgeorgemy : The failure of the Low Yat Plaza II sponsor wants to save the livelihood of hawkers. The joke is on us if we trust the failures of UMNO.
1 Malaysia Dalam Bahaya : He is only joking. Don’t take his words seriously about helping you and approving everything you want. He is not serious about his work as a caretaker.
CITIZEN : Well Nades ! The elections are around the corner and so we will all live in HOPES and die in vain ! or WILL WE. Ismail Sabri makes utterances and it is said to be a joke.
Syed Comedy says something and it is said to be a joke. We are asked by DUMNO and BN to vote in JOKERS. They all want to be jokers. Ismail Sabri claims to have been a hawker !
If so he must have been the only hawker who went to a private school. Even his graduation as a lawyer is questionable as he is believed to have passed by the "back door" because of his kulitfication. Academic qualifications in Malaysia mean nothing as we are churning out PhD in their thousands.
