No Atheists
In A Foxhole

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."

Witness: Rightwing Islamist groups threatened Pastor Koh in 2011 By Hidir Reduan Abdul Rashid
Tuesday, November 07, 2023

Malaysiakini : A court witness testified that rightwing Islamist groups threatened Pastor Koh 12 years ago, following a Jabatan Agama Islam (Jais) raid on Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC). In his witness statement filed at the Kuala Lumpur High Court, Harapan Komuniti member G Sri Ram contended that the threats came after Jais visited a dinner hosted by the NGO at the church on Aug 3, 2011.

Sri Ram pointed out that Koh - whom he befriended in 1977 - headed Harapan Komuniti prior to his disappearance on Feb 13, 2017. The NGO is involved in social and charity work amongst marginalised and underprivileged communities.

The witness recalled that around 10pm on Aug 3, 2011, about 16 to 20 Jais and police officers marched into the Thanksgiving and fundraising dinner, took videos and photographs, and jotted down the particulars of around 20 Malay guests that were present.  

“It was blown out of proportion. Because of the publicity, people assumed a lot of things, and from August until October 2011, Raymond Koh, his family, Harapan Komuniti, and DUMC church leaders were targeted by rightwing Islamist and radical groups, politicians, and bloggers, with calls for action against them in the name of Islam,” Sri Ram claimed.

The witness’ testimony is to back a lawsuit by Koh’s wife Susanna Liew, who is seeking for the police to reveal the missing man’s whereabouts. Sri Ram used to testify in the Suhakam inquiry, which on April 3, 2019, concluded that Koh’s abduction was an enforced disappearance that involved the Special Branch from the police headquarters in Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur. The 63-year-old witness contended that following the Jais visit to the church, Harapan Komuniti continued to receive threats.

Sri Ram said this led to the then minister in the prime minister’s department (Islamic Affairs) Jamil Khir Baharom revealing that Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) was investigating the NGO for alleged proselytising of Muslims. He claimed that following the Selangor Sultan’s decree on Oct 22, 2011, that nobody was to be prosecuted in relation to the Aug 3 incident, a rally called ‘Himpun’ took place and was touted as an “anti-apostasy” demonstration.

The witness said that the last time he saw Koh was on Jan 8, 2017, at Plaza Jelutong, Shah Alam, and that he found out about Koh’s disappearance via a message sent within a pastor fellowship WhatsApp group around 8pm on the same day of the incident.

Sri Ram said that on the night of Feb 14 2017, he went to the Kelana Jaya police station to assist the investigation into Koh’s disappearance. The witness said he found it strange that investigating officer Supari Mohammad’s questions “went around in circles”, giving him the impression that the police officer seemed to be trying to obtain evidence against Koh rather than probing the abduction.

Sri Ram told the civil court that he believed Koh was actually abducted by the police. He claimed that the pastor showed him websites that outwardly threatened Koh and his family following the DUMC incident. According to Sri Ram, the threats continued even after the Selangor Sultan decreed no further action in the investigation against Harapan Komuniti.

Meanwhile, during open-court proceedings before judge Su Tiang Joo, senior federal counsel Nurul Farhana Khalid questioned the validity of Sri Ram's entire testimony, labelling them as "assumptions".     However, despite the grilling by the legal representative for the police and the government, the witness reiterated his belief that it was the police who abducted Koh.

“I put it to you that the abduction was not by the police, but it was by (members of the public) who were dissatisfied with Koh due to the Christianisation (of Muslims) issue,” Nurul Farhana said.

To that, Sri Ram simply responded with, “I disagree”.

The trial before Su resumes tomorrow.

Counsel Jerald Gomez acted for Liew.

Over a week after the DUMC incident in August 2011, a brief video recording of the Jais visit made its way online. Jais has denied that the unannounced visit was a raid, saying it was merely an "inspection" visit after it received a tip-off that Muslims were present at DUMC's ‘buka puasa' and thanksgiving ceremony.

Krabian : Pastor Koh was a victim of those fools who divide themselves by race, colour and religion.

Bornean : and Madani continue to ignore..

Jurgen : An imposing religion which manipulates others is a religion without God, but a man made effort to control people.

Gen12v3 : Even if Pastor Koh was martyed 12 years ago, the God Almighty who is just and righteous will hold them accountable. Rest assure one day they have to stand in front of the Righteous Judge to give an account of their deeds. PTL, Ps Koh soul and spirit is in paradise now, free from sickness, tears, moaning and death.

Proof of pudding always in the eating : This is what is happening here while we thump our chests and scream and shout about Palestine. For PMX missing Malaysians remain missing even after 11 months of appointment.

Only truth : All these nonsense is happening in this country yet we act like protectors of human life and shout and condemn what happens in other countries All these Islamic organisations should be shut down and only the Sultans should be responsible and take care of Islamic affairs Only the Sultans are held in high esteem and only they are respected and fair
