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 : Umno supreme council member Ab Rauf Yusoh said he does not know why
the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is disappointed with the latest political
developments in the country.
The Malacca Umno chief said the party will soon address His Majesty’s concerns. “We
will issue a statement later. We don’t actually know what the Agong is
disappointed about, it was not discussed (at the meeting)
“But surely the country needs a stable political situation,” Rauf (above) told reporters after Umno’s political bureau meeting at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) today.
Earlier today, the comptroller of the royal household Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin said: "His Majesty had expressed his disappointment with the latest political developments but had no choice but to consent to the request of the prime minister in order to return the mandate to the rakyat to choose a stable government.”
MAS_K_RO : You know the answer. Don't ask and clarify.
The 'disappointment' is an instruction to us to boot the corrupt and power crazy.
This haste is asking for the noose.
Bye bye.
BOBBYO : Dissapointment. When the nation had been in this situation for so long, can't we wait just for a few months more until the monsoon season clears.
As for the dissapointment, Rauf stop pretending as you do not know the reason why.
Pressures had been piled up on the backless PM to secure an early date for the election, by the court cluster.
Now the man with the full authority to approve, who stands in the elections under the BN banner is Zahid Hamidi. The individual who have a major case of corruption and money laundering charges hanging over his head.
Umno is going to battle with Zahid Hamidi as their poster boy. For if Umno wins he will be the first choice to be the next PM.
What more dissapointment do you expect His Highness to feel. And the main chess player at the back is his criminal partner Najib.
GoldenDeer9520 : By hook or crook, I will even swim to the polling station to cast my vote to kick out these scum and traitors.
Krabian : Agong is disappointed because UMNO is infested with crooks and thieves stealing from the Rakyat.
Man on the Silver Mountain : The Agong is disappointed to think that a person who is charged with criminal charges and undergoing trial, can call the shot to dissolve the highest lawmaking body in the country, to force an election, despite the fact this is during flood season and the parliamentary term has not yet expired. It is not too difficult understand his majesty’s disappointment, Mr. Rauf. You need to try harder to understand.
Kilimanjaro : The Agong is right that the country should have a stable Govt. Look at how the three Malay parties desatbilised this country. UMNO and BN never really recovered from the 2008 (GE12).
By the GE14, people have lost complete faith in UMNO/BN and voted out the coalition. Then in the name of race and religion, UMNO, PAS and Bersatu destabilised the country by sneaking through the backdoor. Again UMNO destabilsed the country by "kicking out" Muyhiddin and installing Ismail Sabri.
UMNO has been mischievous in putting thecountry in such a dire straits. Muyhiddin backstabbed PH. Zahid and UMNO backstabbed Muyhiddin. Should people really givethe mandate to UMNO, PAS andBersatu?
Koel : What does stability mean? Because all we have seen and heard is about the rampant corruption of your party members. And calling for elections when people are dealing with floods shows a party rushing to take advantage of the disadvantaged.
But that is a practice of vultures - to prey on the weaknesses of victims. And all this to allow filthy corrupt persons to escape justice in this world? Well, the people will remember this and we also have to answer to natural justice that gets everyone in the end. So eat and grow fat while you can. It will not last.
apanama is back : Umno supreme council member Ab Rauf Yusoh, the damage is already done. Now you want to do damage control. Bodoh!. "Nasi sudah jadi bubur". Rauf, it is not easy to turn back the clock. You need to let go and move on.
Even though UMNO Baru issue a statement, it may does more damages.
You people should not be selfish in the first place. That is what the King is saying. He know his hands are tied due to constitution and he could not reject the PM's advise.
Yet UMNO Baru is deliberately taking advantage of his situation and dissolve the Parliament. Moreover, the audience was NOT planned at all. It is like an "ambush" (pardon my language). Now you pretend as do not know and plan to do "kajian" on the King's disappointment. Wow! Ini wayang apa?
