Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
It is not my intention to pour cold water or lecture you on the concept of openness and transparency. However, since you have used these notions to support your fatherās bid for his review at the Federal Court to be telecast live, let me address some pertinent issues.
Academics
describe an āopenā government as transparent, accessible to anyone,
anytime, anywhere; and responsive to new ideas and demands.
This
thing about the spirit of āopennessā and ātransparencyā you are seeking
is not a new notion. For years, the people have demanded these values
from the government ā even when your father was the prime minister.
Maimun : Well said Nadeswaran. Screw with this family, they think they are entitled lot! Until now they have swindled money which is impossible to earn! The ex FLOM, she is a disgrace to womanhood. Going to UMNO headquarters when a known scheduled meeting I going on to see the Zahid! Nonsense!
Krabian : For a family who claimed they do not know Jho Low, is now hyping about transparency. The Najib Clan will never change.
Wewillprevail : Thank you Nades...delusional spoilt little Missy needs to be put in her place ...especially of late. Mr Najib the Kleptocrat plundered the nation's coffers and this brat thinks he is innocent! Hah!
BrownEagle3136 : Fantastic!!
Nooryana, your father is guilty and a poor excuse of a human being. We the rakyat have lost more than you can imagine due to the corruption and abuse your parents have done. Stop playing the victim, take responsibility and be accountable.
Your life of privilege is a product of evil committed by your parents. Its clear you have no idea what the rakyat have suffered due to the acts of your father.
The justice system has spoken and your father is guilty. If he was so foolish to allow Jho Low and the 1MDB BOD to fool him, then he should not have taken on the PM post.
Only an idiot would allow others to handle his own account, embezel funds and then claim he was diped. Do you realize how you and your fanily sound like to those of us citizens who have suffered under your father's actions??
Changing of rules in LHDN to force additional payment by taxpayers who have already paid in full all arrears, only to be told the change in rules requires additional payments?? All this to refill the coffers.
So please spare us your unintelligent rhetoric and please, for the love of God, spare us the victim role and drama of it all. No one is interested. All of us want to see him serve his sentence and you and your family to fade into oblivion.
Time for you and your parents to accept & pay for the suffering caused to a nation.
