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."
MCA vows to combat corruption, abuse of power in BN By Ng Xiang Yi
Sunday, December 18, 2022
Malaysiakini : MCA has set its eyes on combating corruption and abuse of power within the party and BN.
This
is one of 18 resolutions passed by the party's annual general assembly,
which was held behind closed doors in Kuala Lumpur today. The details behind the anti-corruption pledge are unclear.
However,
MCA had come into conflict with BN chairperson Ahmad Zahid Hamidi - who
is on trial for two corruption cases - last month during efforts to
form a government.
Zahid had been acquitted by the High Court on the Foreign Visa System
(VLN) case - but the prosecution is appealing the acquittal. He is also on trial over corruption and money laundering charges involving RM31 million of funds from Yayasan Akalbudi.
In
the aftermath of the 15th general election, MCA had initially objected
to a letter Zahid reportedly penned to the palace pledging BN's support
for Anwar Ibrahim as prime minister. This is because the letter
was contrary to the coalition's supreme council's stand at the time to
remain a neutral opposition bloc.
Mugi : Throughout History, empires rise and fall. Even Ching Dynasty of Shih Huang Ti kaput. MCA, do not procrastinate, just close shop and call it a day in politics. MCA should change itself to an NGO and probably in 60 years time (one cycle of Chinese calendar), and be an active political party again.
GreenWalrus1310 : MCA vows to combat corruption and abuse if power in BN?
After reading this statement, the tip of the hair on my toes just couldn't stop giggling.
Why are?
LoveMyCountry : My big toe. When we needed you....during 1MDB....you guys never even opener your mouth. Even after Najob was convicted you never condemed corruption. Now when PH has formed the Unity Govt...suddenly you want to combat corruption. Arent u ashamed to even say that.
Singgam21 : When the Father of Corruption is their PM. MCA didn't know what is corruption. Ha ha ha now they want to stop corruption. Pls Mr wee ka song go into hibernation.
GrayViper3165 : Haha.. wasting time la. Please read all the comments, nobody believes in MCA. For 60 over years you did nothing for the Chinese community, what make you think we would believe you.
Next GE, probably you have only two seats to contest and voters likely will finish you off, after your episode in supporting PN/PAS to form government after GE15.
BrownCheetah9736 : That ship has sailed a long time ago. Should have opened your mouth during 1MDB
