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."
Deputy speaker election: Two PN MPs voted BN, two backbenchers absent By Ng Xiang Yi & Zikri Kamarulzaman
Thursday, December 22, 2022
Malaysiakini : The deputy speaker election on Monday resulted in an odd
outcome where the two government candidates received a different number
of votes.
Ramli Mohd Nor (BN-Cameron Highlands) had 148 votes while Alice Lau (Pakatan Harapan-Lanang) had 146.
It was initially assumed that two government MPs did not vote for Lau.
However, lawmakers speaking on condition of anonymity told Malaysiakini that they were reliably informed that two government MPs were actually absent during the deputy speaker election.
Checks by Malaysiakini of the Parliament livestream found that one of the two missing government backbenchers is M Saravanan (BN-Tapah).
His
chair remained empty from before the vote until it concluded. Saravanan
is, however, present later during the vote of confidence.
What a Dick!!!
When contacted, Saravanan said he had gone out for lunch but did not make it back in time for the deputy speaker vote. “When I entered Parliament they were already counting the votes,” he told Malaysiakini.
Krabian : MIC's direction is still with PN. They are very furious with DAP who humiliated MIC in GE15 and left them with nothing in the cabinet lineup
WaLid JumbLatt : Seravanan is still sulking from not being a menteri
Semi Value : Now u know how Ganja Saravanan is actually Pak Bidin dan Haji Hadi Bawangggg secret supporter. BN , pls get rid MIC from your coalition immediately.
