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."
ISU PENCEN ATM: ANTARA MAHKAMAH TIMBANGTARA DAN MAHKAMAH AWAM PERSEKUTUAN - YANG MANA SATU?

Assalammualaikum kepada semua Veteran ATM. Saya harap penulisan saya tentang penerangan bagi kedua Mahkamah ini biarlah buat kali terakhir. Sebenarnya idea untuk membawa kes ini ke Mahkamah Timbangtara adalah idea saya dan bukannya idea LtKmr Zin atau LtKmr Rafique.
Saya pada mulanya ( April 2022) mencadangkan isu pencen ATM di bawa ke Mahkamah Timbangtara kerana saya dapati process Timbangtara atau rundingan adalah lebih mudah dan lebih pantas dari process Mahkamah Awam. Ini kerana saya telah mengambil bahagian untuk mencabar keputusan kerajaan menggubal dasar Program Imunisasi COVID-19 Kebangsaan (PICK). Walaupun kami menang di Mahkamah Timbang Tara, Mahkamah Tinggi telah memutuakan bahawa Mahkamah Timbangtara tiada bidang kuasa untuk mendaftarkan award semakan kehakiman.
Oleh kerana kes tuntutan pencen ini melibatkan semakan kehakiman, tafsiran akta Parlimen dan tafsiran Perlembagaan Persekutuan, saya membuat keputusan untuk tidak membawa kes tuntutan pencen ATM ke Mahkamah Timbangtara dan sebaliknya membawanya ke mahkamah Tinggi Awam. Pada pendapat saya ianya akan lebih menjimatkan kos dan masa kerana akhirnya suka tak suka kes ini akan ke mahkamah Tinggi juga dan mungkin ke Mahkamah Persekutuan.
LtKmr Zin dan LtKmr Rafique telah menghasut dan keliru kan sebahagian besar veteran dengan memfitnah saya dengan berbagai tomahan. Ramai juga mereka (veteran) yang ikut kedua orang ini tidak tahu yang saya tidak berada dalam PPPM. Saya tidak pernah menghalang sesiap yang hendak bersama PPPM kerana niat saya adalah 100% fisabilillah untuk veteran. Tetapi lama kelamaan saya dapati tindakan Zin dan Rafique sudah melampau dan tidak mengikut prinsip undang-undang yang sebenar.
