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."
Ex-Sabah CM deconstructs Dr M’s self-incriminating proclamation By RK Anand
Tuesday, March 21, 2023
Malaysiakini : The proclamation Dr Mahathir Mohamad is harping on appears to confirm
that he is the biggest failure with regard to uplifting the
socio-economic position of the Malays, said former Sabah chief minister
Salleh Said Keruak.
He was commenting on the 12-point
proclamation, which blamed the “economic and political predicament” of
the race on the “carelessness” of Malay leaders themselves.
In
other words, Salleh described it as a “self-incriminating proclamation”
because it suggested that Mahathir is the most “careless” of them all. “He
had been prime minister for 22 years (from 1981 to 2003) and later for
22 months (from 2018 to 2022). He headed two different governments but
still failed.
“The proclamation suggests that his handpicked successor Abdullah
Ahmad Badawi also failed. The person he supported to overthrow his
successor, Najib Abdul Razak, also failed. The person he collaborated
with to topple the successor to his successor, Muhyiddin Yassin, also
failed.
“Apart from failing himself, Mahathir had a significant
role in choosing others who supposedly failed the race as well. So, the
conclusion is simple. He is the biggest failure,” he told Malaysiakini. Noting
how the proclamation claimed the last general election witnessed the
race losing political power, Salleh again turned the clock back to
Mahathir’s undisputed reign for more than two decades.
Former Sabah chief minister Salleh Said Keruak
“He
was heading a government which was triumphant in all the general
elections. BN had controlled two-thirds of the seats in the Lower House.
Despite this, the proclamation claims the race is still in the
doldrums. Mahathir has blamed Anwar for several venues cancelling the booking to hold a gathering to launch the proclamation.
Among others, the proclamation states:
The Malays have never controlled the nation’s economy. Even their little stalls have been taken by others.
Of late, the only power they possessed, political power, has also slipped out of their hands.
The fate of the Malays at present and in the future can no longer be determined by them.
The cause for this is the carelessness of Malay leaders themselves.
The Malay party built on the foundation of religion, race and nation has been turned into a party to enrich oneself.
Jostling for power and money has destroyed Malay unity.
The
Malays are so weak that even the sovereignty of their homeland will
slip from their hands. Their future is bleak. Poverty is forcing the
Malays to sell their lands.
YellowCondor6925 : He is crying to be a PM even to the extent of creating of disunity among the races. The Police should an eye on this old cunning man as he may team up with Hadi and create a situation of chaos in the country.
The country is now moving forward in a new direction where there is no place for corruption. This might be worrying the old man. Any wrong move by these two cunning people, the police should arrest them immediately.
Cogito Ergo Sum : Only Said Keruak can say it without repercussions. And he hit the nail on the head…several times. And if you still don’t get, then I think you need to see a shrink.
You not only failed the Malays, you failed Malaysians…twice. That’s a double failure. It’s time the authorities started looking into your children’s humongous wealth. That will stop you from sowing the seeds of discord.
apanama is back : "So, the conclusion is simple. He is the biggest failure,”
Khakhakhakhakha........ Hahahahahahahaha.....
But Mahathir "buat tak tau" and "buat bodoh" because he plan to be PM for third time.
Hahahahahaha....
Nowadays, almost most of the people know his failures and tricks. "Tak laku!" Mahathir can go and fly kite with his 12-point proclamation.
