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."
Loot, rakyat pay..loot, rakyat pay...
Endless cycle till today....

Rakyat ignorance, a price to pay....
I say,you say, we say, all no, only their say.....
Are they God to have their way....
They may lead us to doomsday...
Listen you party goons to what we say....
As rakyat we have the right to slay....

Malaysiakini : ‘Best to do it now with a two-thirds majority’
BlackDeer5421: The northern and eastern green lands do not represent the whole of Malaysia including Sabah and Sarawak.
Due to delineation and previous gerrymandering
for donkey years, we can see a disproportionate number of Parliament
seats in the Malay hinterland which BN could have manipulated to retain
power for over 60 years.
This seat manipulation not in accordance with the relative size of
the population (notwithstanding the argument to give more presentation
to rural areas) has come to bite BN as they now have lost the support of
rural Malays due to their excesses and corruption among the top Umno
leaders.
So, is it fair to other Malaysians who are non-Muslims to
be subjected to a future regime headed by PAS with Islamic laws and
policies which surely will be their objective?
It’s high time
something is done to review the seat delineation by the federal
government with a fairer seat allocation among the rural, semi-urban,
and urban areas.
Now is the best time to do it when you have a two-thirds majority in Parliament as it’s needed to make changes in this critical and far-reaching seat distribution issue.
OrangePanther1466: This green wave was not predicted
by any of the mainstream political parties except Perikatan Nasional
(PN) itself and I dare say, by former prime minister Dr Mahathir
Mohamad.
I think he saw a lacuna in the rural Malay vote bank left
by Umno which has been discredited, derided, and demonised by the
(former) opposition.
That's why he hurriedly cobbled together
Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) to present an alternative all-Malay party for
the rural heartland Malay who would otherwise pivot to PN by default.
Be that as it may, GTA never had the chance to take root. It was not even registered
as a political entity when the 15th general election (GE15) was called.
As the polls panned out, GTA lost all seats it contested as well as all
deposits.
In this, we cannot fault Mahathir for the effort to
court the rural Malay voters away from PN. It's rather unfortunate that
those who previously voted for BN-Umno pivoted to PN and not
Pejuang-GTA.
Mahathir's efforts all these years championing the Malays, in the end, came to nought.
