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."
Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election: Protest vote or boycott? By Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy
Monday, April 22, 2024
Madani, keep your promise about petrol, NOT Satay!!
Malaysiakini : “If you’re angry, don’t boycott. Show your anger towards Umno by voting for the Muda candidate.” Hannah Yeoh during a campaign speech in Tanjong Karang, Selangor, when
Muda and Pakatan Harapan were in an electoral pact, November 2022.
COMMENT |
Two years ago, when Hannah Yeoh was stumping for Muda in the run-up to
the 15th general election (GE15), she told Umno voters in Tanjong Karang
not to boycott the election after their six-term MP Noh Omar was
dropped by the party. She advised them not to waste their votes but rather to vote for Pakatan Harapan to turn something negative into a positive.
Of
course, the reason why she told voters dissatisfied with what Umno had
done in switching candidates was craven, in that she was hoping to
exploit their dissatisfaction, not in policy, but rather personality,
which is the major problem with politics here and everywhere else.
So, my question is, what about the voters of the upcoming Kuala Kubu Baharu
by-election? Who do they vote for if they are angry with Harapan? Would
voting for Perikatan Nasional turn their anger into something positive?
Would continuing to vote for a coalition they are angry with be
positive or merely enable the coalition?
Apparently, there is a movement to galvanise the Indian vote to boycott the election. Yeoh’s response is not to attempt to entice Indians to vote for Harapan but rather just to ignore “negative” voices.

There are no good choices.
That is why i would rather not vote.
If i give you a choice: drink urine, eat faeces, or do nothing, then the most logical choice is to do nothing.
To me, i must vote out of conviction and principle. Not out of fear.
Voting for DAP is voting out of fear. Fear of PAS.
Yes, if enough people think like me, then that could mean PN will win.
But that is Anwar's fault and DAP's fault.
Not the Chinese voters' fault.
Anwar and DAP ignored the Chinese voters, took them for granted.
They think they can do whatever they want to win the Melayus, and the Chinese will still vote for them, out of fear.
Anwar and DAP are telling the Chinese: If you dont vote for us, PAS will come into power.
Well, I for one refuse to be blackmailed or threatened by Anwar or anyone else.
Anwar and DAP thinks the Chinese will always vote for them regardless of what they do.
Well, I am nobody's "fixed deposit". I will not be cowed by Anwar and DAP or let them take me for a ride.
You cannot step on me repeatedly and expect me to still support you.
I hope DAP loses KKB ...or at least wins with a massively reduced margin.
Steven Ong : Mr S. Thayaparan ,
I suggest that you lead a group to support a Muda or a PSM candidate in the KKB by election. This is the time to prove your valuable contribution to Malaysia and Malaysians. You spoke very well but whether you can convince the crucial voters is yet to be seen .
Now its the opportunity for you. Enough of commenting.
Gather all the likes like you, Mariam Mokhtat, Prof. Tajuddin Rasdi, G20 and all the sensible Malaysians who wants a better Malaysia for all. Do it now before its too late for a transformation . Viral this , you Malaysians who love the country.
