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."
Thick Brick : Tun Daim's Ilham Tower was seized by MACC for investigation into
corruption and money laundering. The talk is Daim refused to declare
fully his assets after being given fair time with several extensions.
Under
Section 32 of the MACC Act, the refusal to cooperate is tantamount to
offenses and the undeclared properties, local and abroad, could be
seized. Apparently the social media is a buzz with claims that the
bulk of the RM2.7 billion property was self funded by the owner. Media
reported many properties and asset will eventually be seized.
Many
years ago, Daim claimed he is unperturbed by any investigations. He had
undergone it under three past Prime Ministers and came out clean. Daim
side have been sending people to hint threats that he will retaliate
either causing market to depress or economic sabotage or escalate his
planned coup d'etat in which he is unafraid to spend.
He holds
cash and financial assets, but was never interested to have a grip on
the economy by holding on a long term basis of any businesses. Over
the decades, his unscruplous dealings has built a legion of haters and
an army of corporate enemies. He is not fighting just Anwar and MACC.
Nevertheless,
since money and assets of Bersatu and its leaders are frozen, only Daim
and Mahathir could finance any political operation to topple Anwar
including bribing the much talked about 15 UMNO MPs gathered by
Hishamuddin.
Ready the popcorn.
Last
week hints picked up on Tic Tok, in which sources claimed there could
be some truth, that Mahathir could be facing a barrage of charges. A
little bird claimed if it is not 200 charges, at least 20 charges were
described as solid.
This is not including his civil lawsuit
against Anwar but the preparation for the lawsuit may have open more
leads for investigations.
