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."
Perak govt denies forceful eviction of Kanthan farmers
Friday, October 27, 2023
Malaysiakini : The Perak Menteri Besar’s Office has denied that a group of farmers
in Kanthan, Tambun, are being forcefully evicted as it is being done
according to the law.
It said in a statement that the state
government through the Perak State Development Corporation (PKNPk) had,
in an attempt to resolve the 11-year-old issue, provided an alternative
site in Changkat Kinding that had been gazetted as an agricultural zone.
“The
state government is always committed to taking a prudent approach in
resolving the issue of the claim by the group of agricultural squatters
who carry out illegal agricultural activities at the site of the PKNPk’s
Silver Valley Technology Park (SVTP).
“To enable the relocation
process to be carried out in an orderly manner, the state government has
spent over RM700,000 on providing the infrastructure, as well as the
construction of terraces for plantation purposes and provision of water
supply facilities at the alternative site,” read the statement.
According to the statement, a visit to the site in Changkat Kinding
was held in May 2021 with the farmers involved, but only a few of them
accepted the offer.
“It is very important for PKNPk as the main
economic driver of Perak to realise the high-impact SVTP project to
complete the plan of driving the development of the state’s industry,
which is expected to provide thousands of job opportunities for the
people, apart from creating new business opportunities.
“Nevertheless,
as a government that is responsible and understands the constraints
facing the farmers concerned, the state government, through the PKNPk,
is always open to negotiations so that a solution through the provision
of an alternative site in Changkat Kinding can be realised,” he said.
Anon25 : These Tambun farmers started farming in that area when the land there was like the 'wild wild west' in the USA. Unmarked and in the junle. Even Ipoh Town could have been started arbitrarily.
So the solution today should be to give the site at Chankat Kinding to PKNP and let these farmers stay and work where they are now.
Is the state government doing this because the farmers are Chinese not Malays?
The MB's office can do this with the stroke of a pen. He MUST do it to protect his boss.
MS : "Is the state government doing this because the farmers are Chinese not Malays?" Of course. The Chinese may be spooked any time the Madani Man chooses. Not the Malays.
Falcon : Inexplicably supremacy of law one says, seriously?
Strangely also the denial that force was used?
Look at the photo above - it cries out - 'liars, liars, shameless liars!'
And it is nakedly revealing that despite the recordings and photos that have been circulated, injurious, roughshod, an assault resulting in physical injurious - this Menteri Besar's office has the audacity to cook this official statement?
Never mind, WE the minorities understand, WE are NOW persona non grata despite citizens of this land YOU have far more global, religious, racial obligations addressing manufactured crisis and problems which are non of our business!
Thankfully, those who did beat the drums for the chameleons have gone silent after witnessing how an individual hijacked an issue and attempted to propel himself into an international 'savior' but fell flat in a cloud of hypocrisy, deceit and betrayal?
Let me remind our self serving politicos - WE are NOT impressed with your speeches and your pretence neither the many masks YOU wear!
Remember - Charity begins at Home!
Jika tak faham ini - apa lagi?
Krabian : Anwar still busy fighting for Palestinians and spewing Gaza rhetoric.
Anwar should have step in to defuse the situation. It's in his Tambun constituency.
