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."
Job scam victims lured with over RM4k S'pore housekeeper salary offer By Alyaa Alhadjri & Fion Yap

Malaysiakini : Opportunities to work as housekeepers in Singapore with a salary of
over US$1,000 are among positions advertised online by self-proclaimed
agents to lure Malaysians into becoming "scammers" based in KK Garden in
Myawaddy, Myanmar.
Mohd Farhan Azman, 19, left his home in Parit
Raja, Muar, Johor, to take up the offer in Singapore, which he
eventually discovered did not exist.
Instead, Farhan was offered
another supposed housekeeping job in Bangkok, Thailand, at the same
salary - nearly three times Malaysia's minimum wage and with no
qualifications.
Farhan and a friend, Muhammad Riduan Arif, 21,
also from Parit Raja, were among six Malaysians rescued from KK Garden
and landed at KLIA this afternoon, the most recent group after a total
of 261 individuals who returned from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar between April and September this year.
I WONDER? : The new Govt must immediately set up a special task force directly under PMO comprising officials and officers from various ministries to specially tackle the situation and to investigate and rescue our young Malaysians who fell victims to these scams.
