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."
Enough playing victim, step up and offer solutions to K'tan folk By Teresa Kok

Malaysiakini : MP SPEAKS | Annuar Musa at a
rally in Kelantan outlined five points why voters in Kelantan should
deny any support or a vote for the Pakatan Harapan-BN coalition in the
upcoming state elections. which will take place in three weeks’ time.
I had watched the entire speech and my conclusion is that Annuar (above),
now as a mouthpiece for PAS after being a mouthpiece for Umno, has
played the victim card that everything that has befallen the people and
the state of Kelantan is everyone else’s fault, except the PAS
leadership in the state which it has governed for decades.
He
claimed that the people of Kelantan had been betrayed by Umno and BN
when he should instead take a look at the economic development and
social advancement of Kelantan under PAS.
But what
would Annuar - a leader who flaunts his wealth - know of poverty and the
plight of Malaysians who are struggling to put food on the table and to
make ends meet, particularly in Kelantan?
Fed Up bodoh sombong : Why bring in investment into the state & have all these developed state issues like male & female working together , female workers on night shift, work during puasa month, not sufficient time off for prayers everyday and on Fridays when one has to go to mosque, mosque not sufficient, decadent western shows but highly popular etc etc Better & easier to demand handouts, freebie allocation, no need to payback loans, etc
apanama is back : A party such as PAS able to CHEAT its own voters in Kelantan for 33 years (since 1990) is a feat by itself. I mean a wrong achievement.
It is a gross misfeasance on the part of PAS state government. Yet they claimed to be pious Muslim hiding and using the religion to enrich them while keeping the Kelantanese in poor state.
And they blame others and central/federal government for the people's predicament.
However, the folks also keep on voting the same party unknowingly. It becomes as cult following.
The people will be blaming their 'tadkir' (fate) but they could change their fate but they refuse again and again for the last 33 years.
Annuar Musa knows about it since day one even when he was in UMNO Baru and play his cards in the same manner.
Of course, we can't change the older generation in Kelantan but what actually puzzles me is about the younger generation who works outside Kelantan and could able to see the differences between the state they work and Kelantan.
Yet when these young voters go back to vote, they are voting PAS. Excellent!
If they choose to be poor, let them be. We can't help much.
Just a Malaysian : A community that does not self reflect but blame others for their predicament is a regressive community. Anuar musa get rich by encouraging such a mentality.
