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."
Hadi’s RM90 Million Scandal Could Be Reopened – The Mysterious Meeting Between Nik Abduh And PM Anwar
Friday, May 26, 2023
Finance Twitter : Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS – Parti Islam Se-Malaysia) might look calm from the outside, even after it failed to form a new government post-2022 General Election. But if you observe carefully, the religious extremist party is having internal crises. Cracks are visible between the party and its partner in the Perikatan Nasional namely Bersatu or Malaysian United Indigenous Party.
JuFazli explains it better in Malay
PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang appears to be distancing himself from Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin. The last time both party leaders were seen together publicly was during junior partner Gerakan’s Chinese New Year open house on January 22 this year. Even then, it was a political gimmick to create an illusion that the opposition has the support of the Chinese community.
Since then, PAS and Bersatu do not talk to each other. It was so bad that the Islamist party did not even bother to attend Bersatu’s assembly when Muhyiddin desperately needed solidarity support from his best buddy after being charged for corruption and money laundering.
When Najib Razak was sentenced to 12 years in jail in 2020, Hadi and his gang scrambled to visit the crook.Exactly why Hadi saw it worthwhile to visit ex-PM Najib even after he was found guilty of corruption, but abandoned ex-PM Muhyiddin when his corruption trial has barely begun? With friends like Hadi, Muhyiddin does not need enemies.
The most puzzling thing was Hadi’s solo mission to sign the “Malay Proclamation” orchestrated by ex-PM Mahathir Mohamad – without Muhyiddin.
Like a beaten dog, Mr Muhyiddin rarely barks after numerous attempts to topple Anwar-led Unity Government failed miserably. And when he barks, it was both shallow and silly. He’s terrified to attend the Parliament because he would look like a moron during arguments with the 10th Prime Minister.
His party accounts have been frozen – then seized – leaving him useless to Hadi.
It was absolutely disgraceful for Hadi to hug and kiss Mahathir after what the former dictator had done in the 1985 Memali bloody incident. Not only dozens of PAS followers were slaughtered like a pig, Mahathir had instead blamed Hadi as the cause of the tragedy. Heck, Mahathir had even mocked and ridiculed the victims of Memali as “mati katak” (died in vain like frogs).
