Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
Inaptitude of our Prison's Department, whatever happened to merit?

Malaysiakini : DAP MP urges govt to probe 'wrong dead son' incident.
PARLIAMENT | The government has
been urged to conduct an independent investigation into the incident
involving a family who was wrongfully informed of their sonās death in
prison and almost cremated the body they brought home.
M
Kulasegaran (Pakatan Harapan-Ipoh Barat) called on Putrajaya to take
action against prison officers who were negligent in this incident and
for putting two families involved in emotional distress.
He also questioned how the mix-up happened when all inmates were assigned identification numbers.
āHow
was the death registered and the death certificate produced? How is it
possible that a person who was still alive could be said to be dead?ā he
questioned in the Dewan Rakyat today when debating the 2023 Supply
Bill.
Steven Ong : āIs the government going to take action to ensure that such incidents would not happen again?ā he said, adding that he had met both families.
One way to correct the incompetence in all government linked institution is by replacing the heads and top post with competent and qualified Malaysians. No more ' orang kita' or ' our boy ' business if all are serious about not only the the poor performance but also dangerous situation that may trigger a civil war.
SeniorCitizen : This is a definite major faux pas on the part of the relevant authorities and needs urgent, in-depth investigations to find the causes and for appropriate action to be taken to prevent any such recurrence.
Dr Suresh Kumar : I can't bear to think about the trauma these two families are going through. It's unbelievable. Will someone be held responsible in a land where civil servants are appointed based on merit and efficiency?
Will heads roll? Never as that is not the culture in Boleh land. I hope these two families get due justice, which I doubt as most issues concerning non-Malays, especially Indians, will be swept under the carpet and stamped NFA.
Very concerned citizen : Mr.Kula,I wrote my comments as below when it was reported earlier in Malaysiakini: How many more āmurdersā must happen in prisons and lock ups before someone is answerable?
So many deaths has happened at prisons and lock ups but no one has been charged.Are we living in a ā police stateā. Where is the Minister of home affairs in all these deaths? Has he called for an independent body to check these deaths in the prison?
When will the full and unchanged IPCMC will be implemented? Saudara Anwar,you have experienced the jail and now as the PM what are you going to do on all these deaths?
