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."
More than a Wee bit of issue with ventilator procurement By R Nadeswaran

Malaysiakini : COMMENT | News reports on the
Health Ministry’s purchase of China-made ventilators during the Covid-19
pandemic in 2020 made the headlines for all the wrong reasons over the
past three days.
It also exposed the shortcuts, the weaknesses and
the shortcomings in government procurement and in the process, the
malaise in the system. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in its
report released two days ago said the Health Ministry and Pharmaniaga
had been blaming each other for 104 faulty ventilators they received from China.
There
was no contractual agreement signed, it said, between the two in regard
to the ventilators procurement, where Pharmaniaga's subsidiary
Pharmaniaga Logistics Sdn Bhd (PLSB) had acted as an intermediary
between the Health Ministry and suppliers in China.
Anonymous_8a8199e7 : Money Collecting Agency MCA wee will soon call a press conference. He will cry in front of cameras and claims he's innocent.
Doc : Good news for KKM and Pharmaniaga; now they have a good scapegoat to blame for the ventilator debacle. Looks like Wee will be scarified at the altar for preservation of Malaysian Cronies
drngsc : It is all a scam. Under the cover of emergency authorization, many Big and small fish made money.
Just ask MOH Minister and DG. They are responsible. They have to account and be held responsible.
I am sure KJ knows. Afterall it is only 3 years ago. But he is keeping dead silence, even during is Keluar ( we hope forever ) Sikijap there is no discussion. Smells fishy?
