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."
'Stupid' ministers like Nga affecting economy, not boycotts - Akmal
Friday, April 12, 2024
Malaysiakini : Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh denied that the boycott campaigns he championed are worsening the economy. Instead,
it is because of “stupid” ministers such as Housing and Local
Government Minister Nga Kor Ming that the economy is performing poorly,
Akmal said in a statement on Facebook.
“Back in Najib Abdul Razak’s time, we did boycott campaigns but the economy still improved. “To the unwise Nga Kor Ming, the economy is deteriorating because there are ministers like you. Stupid!” he said. Yesterday, Nga posted on X saying that local workers have suffered due to the boycotts called for by irresponsible parties.
“Never
fall into the trap of instigators, our country needs the efforts of all
parties to develop the national economy,” he said. Attached to
his post was a screenshot of a Chinese media report which highlighted
the hardship of local workers allegedly affected by business boycotts.
Akmal
has called for a boycott against KK Mart over the “Allah” socks issue
and against cosmetics entrepreneur Aliff Syukri’s products after the
latter’s Hari Raya video was deemed disrespectful of the sanctity of
Ramadan.
Sock-gate
Last
month, images of socks bearing the word “Allah” being sold at KK Mart’s
Bandar Sunway outlet went viral on social media, triggering an uproar. KK Mart immediately apologised to all its customers, particularly the Muslim community, and halted the sale of the socks.
Patma : Akmal, if you are not so stupid, why are you not being appointed to a more senior position in the state government? The fact is that stupid people like you not even qualify to contest in parliament seat.
Harimoo : Dear Akmal, Nga is the Housing and Local Government minister. What about the ECONOMY minister whose job it is to manage the economy, MITI whose job is to realise investments and the FINANCE minister whose job it is to manage finance? Please try to talk some sense. PMX if you are going to give Zahid a free pass in letting this small boi continue the way he is then count your days as PM
