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."
'PAS only opposes non-Muslim houses of worship built with no approval'
Sunday, March 26, 2023
PUS Representative
Malaysiakini : A Selangor PAS leader today said that the Islamist party does not
have a problem with houses of worship of various religions being built
in the same vicinity.
Instead, Selangor PAS liaison secretary
Roslan Shahir Mohd Shahir explained that the party is only opposed to
non-Muslim houses of worship being built on non-gazetted land in
Muslim-majority areas and without local authority’s approval.
“PAS
has never had a problem with houses of worship of other religions,
including those in Selangor that have been built for a long time and
accepted by the local community since the beginning," said Roslan (above).
In a statement today, Roslan took aim at Malaysiakini
for supposedly twisting Kuala Langat MP Ahmad Yunus Hairi's speech in
Dewan Rakyat on March 16, who had urged the government to avoid building
non-Muslim houses of worship in the same vicinity as mosques. This was to avoid "noises from loudspeakers disrupting the peace of the residents there", Ahmad Yunus had said.
Kuala Langat MP Ahmad Yunus Hairi
Roslan also cited a voxpop conducted by Malaysiakini around Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur and Batu Caves, Selangor - two places abound with places of worship of different races. The voxpop revealed the majority of people had called for an end to attempts at politicising religion through such issues.
“In
his speech on March 16 in Parliament, Yunus was referring to a site on
the border of his area, which is Canary Garden, Bandar Bestari Klang -
under the Klang municipal council.
Salvage Malaysia : Non Muslim house of worship with loudspeakers that may disrupt the peace of the residents?
Which Non Muslim house of worship did you see such thing happening where they blast their loudspeakers, if any?
Ra1965 : They admit what they are doing all this while blaming others. True face of PAS.
Kilimanjaro : Most NM do not trust PAS or what they say. This guy is fishing for votes. Sanusi is a bully. Even if the world comes to an end, I will not trust a word of PAS trying to convince NM. No sincerity.
apanama is back : After backlash, now change the story line. As one commentator, Merdeka used to comment, "Bahasa Pusing Putar Belit".
Oh my goodness!
This PAS fellow can't even speak properly and correctly. Always "pusing" here and there until my "kepala pun pusing."
Look at Malacca's Goldsmith Road and also Penang's Pitt Street. Besides these two area, there are many examples as explained by people on the ground in Malaysiakini's voxpop.
This is unique to our society and we should be proud and preserve it that way.
Suddenly one party won 43 seats and becomes arrogant.
