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."
Missing RM24.8m from Kesedar: Culprit misused 9 other IDs - Zahid By Geraldine Tong
Tuesday, May 30, 2023
Malaysiakini : The individual arrested for allegedly embezzling RM24.8 million from
the South Kelantan Development Authority (Kesedar) purportedly misused
the identification of nine other employees to transfer the money out.
Rural
and Regional Development Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi revealed that the
assistant accountant had done this “cunning act” over the course of
eight years.
“The steps I took after I came to this ministry were
not only based on the audit reports, but nine individuals in Kesedar had
their identification used by the (assistant accountant) to embezzle
almost RM25 million (over) a long period of time.
“I think this is a cunning act done by the relevant assistant accountant,” said Zahid, who is also deputy prime minister.
He said this in a press conference after launching the anti-sexual
harassment advocacy roadshow at the Doubletree Hotel in Putrajaya today.
Zahid said he would never compromise in this matter because it involves taxpayers’ money.
“The
taxpayers’ money that should have been used for the settlers was
instead used by the individual for his own benefit,” he said.
The ministry’s secretary-general has been instructed to take legal action immediately, he added.
Kak Molly : Arent the accounts audited? If so, the auditors must be either sleeping on the job or is also a party to this whole fiasco.
GhostRider : The cunning Zara caught a cunning act of a cunning junior accountant! Shocking, there are so many cunning acts. There is another cunning act by another accountant who paid personal expenses by using using a foundation’s donations.
Headhunter : Malaysia must have the highest number of civil servant millionaires in the world.
