“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."
Former prime Minister Najib Razak’s and former treasury secretary Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah’s DNAA brings suspicions about AGC integrity By Murray Hunter
Monday, December 02, 2024
Murray Hunter : On 27 November 2024, former Prime Minister Najib Razak and former
Treasury Secretary-General Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah were granted a
discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) for six criminal breach
of trust (CBT) charges involving the misuse of RM6.6 billion in
government funds.
The High Court granted the DNAA after the prosecution
failed to hand over several classified documents required to prepare a
defence.
Najib Razak and Irwan Serigar were first charged before
the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on 25 October 2018, Tommy Thomas, who
was attorney general at the time. The case was then transferred to the
High Court two months later.
The case has been dragging on through
the courts for six years. The prosecution had failed to deliver to the
defence a number of documents through the discovery process.
This
brings up two possibilities. Either the officers within the Attorney
General’s Chabers (AGC) are incompetent to carry out their duties
diligently and professionally, or the law has been subverted through
shoddy legal work undertaken by the AGC officers.
Whichever
possibility is correct raises concerns either way. If employees within
the ABC are incompetent, then the current Attorney General and past two
office holders before him have not fulfilled their duties competently,
allowing sub-standard and work within their chambers. They should be
censured for this dereliction of duty.
The second alternative is
more concerning. Work on the Najib-Irwan case had been purposely
neglected so as to influence the result of the case. In other words, the
case was ‘thrown’.
This is a purposeful perversion of the course of justice. The question is here is Who ordered this to be done?
This
is not the first time this has occurred. This has occurred with VVIP
cases including Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Najib Razak and Arul Kanda, and Lim
Guan Eng.
It now looks like those in power control the
justice system through the AGC. This highlights the partisan legal
system in Malaysia. Malaysia is becoming a Banana Republic very quickly.
If
this case is the result of incompetence, there should be an immediate
inquiry into the competence of the AGC. Heads should roll.
