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."
Mydin boss slams Umno Youth chief for 'exploiting' socks issue
Saturday, March 23, 2024
Malaysiakini : Mydin hypermarket boss Ameer Ali Mydin has taken Umno Youth chief Dr
Muhamad Akmal Saleh to task for "exploiting" the issue concerning the
socks bearing the word Allah. "Why is he still kicking up a fuss?
"Political
parties should distance themselves from 3R (race, religion, royalty)
issues and should not pour oil on the flames," Ameer told Free Malaysia Today.
According
to Ameer, Akmal's call for the boycotting of the KK Mart convenience
store chain, where the controversial socks were found, would affect
investor confidence and the livelihood of workers - most of whom are
Malay Muslims.
"Both KK Mart and the vendor have apologised. What else do you expect them to do?" Ameer (above), who is also the president of the Bumiputera Retailers Association, said.

While
acknowledging the issue was a serious matter, Ameer said there was no
need for it to be escalated, especially for political mileage. The
controversy began when photographs of socks bearing the word Allah
being sold at a KK Mart outlet in Bandar Sunway went viral online last
week.
The KK Mart Management has since apologised, while the supplier Xi Jian Chang Sdn Bhd has also done the same. The
Batu Pahat Municipal Council had given the supplier 60 days to provide a
written statement to explain the fiasco, failing which Xi Jian Chang
could face a shutdown.
Despite the apology and KK Mart putting up
digital apology notices at its outlets, Akmal had remained steadfast in
his boycott call, demanding KK Mart put on physical banners instead.
Last night, Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said the party fully supported Akmal's stance.
Ejiah Franc : Respect your view & comments Encik Ameer. This will be my response.
1. ABU ! Anything But Umno ! Bring it on !
2. Enough of bullying us Non-Ms !!
3. Boycott Umno !!
4. 1 vote 1 count !!
5. Time to teach Umno a very heavy lesson & defeat in this coming GE16 !
