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."
3R laws will benefit PAS and PN By Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy
Saturday, July 29, 2023
Malaysiakini : "Islam has to be the leader and ruler, those who are not of Islam must be followers (pak turut).”
– Abdul Hadi Awang
COMMENT
| Any laws attempting to police speech with regard to the 3Rs (royalty,
religion and race) will ultimately only benefit the forces of extremism
in this country.
We have to remember that the 3Rs are the tiang seri
(pillars) of Umno, the foundational philosophy of “ketuanism” that has
been redefined by Pakatan Harapan as “don’t spook the Malays”.
Furthermore, when it comes to race and religion, neither are mutually exclusive in this country. Defenders of bangsa and agama
will never allow any laws that restrict their speech when it comes to
the 3Rs, indeed, what they want is for the state to sanction them,
because this would make them legitimate and credible defenders in the
eyes of a narcotised base.
PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and
Perikatan Nasional have already demonstrated that when it comes to
religion, for instance, they will go so far as to ignore royal diktats
to further their political agendas.

While
there are many laws which would restrict such speech in the books, the
fact that the book has not been thrown at these political personalities
is indicative of how deathly afraid the Malay establishment is of these
charlatans.
To stop Anwar Ibrahim, PN and PAS are willing to slay
sacred cows of Malay-Muslim institutions because as I have argued
before, these are the agendas of the deep Islamic state and the
religious industrial complex.
