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."
Indie candidate hopes to provide alternative in DAP stronghold Seputeh By Fion Yap
Tuesday, October 11, 2022
Malaysiakini : The Seputeh parliamentary seat - one of DAP’s strongholds in the
capital city - might see an independent candidate in the upcoming 15th
general election, local Lee Wai Hong.
The former Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall Youth chief announced on social media yesterday that he will contest in his hometown Seputeh, right after the Parliament was dissolved.
Lee,
42, is hoping to be an alternative for those who have lost their
confidence in political parties after the Sheraton Move political coup
in 2020.
“There were only a few voters who came out to vote during
those state elections after the Sheraton Move. But I hope Seputeh
voters will not give up their right to vote.”
Optimus : In this particular case, a vote for indie is a wasted vote
Cha lan dou : Wasting time. Better donate your money to charity than to lose your deposit.
Knucklehead : Sure lose deposit!
What a dud!
#DreamOn
Demi Rakyat : He will be assured of at least 3 votes.
His proposer, seconder and himself.😁😁
csk : Trouble maker. In Chinese we call them "sh*t stirrer"
YellowMacaw6549 : Independent PRU winners if any ... are of no bloody use in national policy in present day context except self seving as a potential frog wannable to the highest bidder.
Dino : Go stand against Hadi in Marang more better .If you can convince the voters there i consider you smart.
Kovacs92 : In the upcoming election where the stakes are extremely high, it is not good at all for there to be a 3rd force to split the votes. This independent candidate should really reconsider his intention to run against DAP.
Tg Rambutan Wad 13 inmate : Wish you luck. Frankly speaking you better donate the money for charity to help the needy than wasting it for forfeited deposit.
