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."
Malaysiakini : DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang proposed for the unity government to cooperate with PAS ahead of the upcoming state elections.
However,
Lim stressed that the government should only do so on two conditions –
one is that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang cease hostilities towards
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Hadi must show honesty.
Lim had
made the call in support of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's decree that
Malaysia needs political stability and the success of the unity
government convention yesterday. In view of this, Lim said if Hadi
admitted that he had made unsubstantiated allegations against the DAP
and promise not to repeat it, then PAS should be invited to join the
unity government.
Among others, Lim said Hadi had made several wild allegations
including one that non-Muslims were "plunderers" who indulged in bribery
and deceit at the expense of the Malays. Lim also cited Hadi's allegation that the DAP recruited "ignorant" Malays to serve as the party's "puppets".
PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang
"If
Hadi can become an honest, responsible and respected Islamic leader in
Malaysia and admit that he was wrong to make such wild and preposterous
allegations... then, I do not see why PAS cannot be invited to join the
unity government. "The Yang di Pertuan Agong is right - Malaysia
needs political stability to become a progressive, prosperous and
respected world-class nation.
"But will Hadi heed calls to prioritise national interests instead of acting for his own personal interests?" asked Lim. Lim's
statement came amidst another olive branch extended to PAS by Anwar,
through PAS central committee member Nik Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz.
Dino : Hadi need to be charged and imprisoned for him seditious insult to other races in Malaysia. That is the right place for him not inviting to join the unity government.
AnginLintang : Do not ever work with current pas. Don't even think about it.
I don't care what is the political strategy but rakyat do NOT want a party full of incompetent and selfish lebais that only want posts and money. Toxic to the highest level too.
Inviting them would be sidelining AMANAH!
