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."
This is the representative for Gunung Jerai. He is a bloody disgrace, imagine young and impressionable children listening to this guy, he has no respect for women or for that matter anybody. He uses derogatory terms on the Indians, he looks down on people who are handicapped and many more sleights against the many peoples of Malaysia. People of Jerai, do you still want this clown representing you? Say NO at the ballot box.
Zaleha: The provocative uniform must be changed to something reflective of Eastern values and which complies with the values of Islam.
Badruddin: I think their skirts are too short.
Zaleha: Cloth can be bought.
Badruddin: I think they don’t have enough cloth.
Zaleha pressed her point further by relating how the uniform had ‘affected’ one of her friends, leading Badruddin to pass another cheeky remark.
Zaleha: She said a flight attendant sat in front of her and she could see her legs, thighs and knees. She was so embarrassed!
Badruddin: Did she see the tunnel? [crowd roars with laughter] From here in full or subscribe to read the original version here
Jerai MP’s foot-in-mouth disease
Much has been written lately on the indignation of Indian Malaysians on the use of the derogatory word “keling” by the member of parliament from Jerai Badruddin Amirul. I believe not only are the Indians in an uproar over the careless remark but also a majority of other Malaysians who are disquieted as well by his antics.
The word was not correct to be used in the august house and the damage has been done even though he withdrew the remark. The Indian community is seething with anger at the nonchalant attitude of this recalcitrant member of Parliament from Jerai who seems to suffer from the ‘foot in the mouth’ disease every time he opens his mouth. Words are the tools of the brain and one tends to measure people intelligent by how one speak and write. In full....
In the video clip above see his simian antics, along with his supporters.
In April 2005, Badruddin provoked what was described by The Star, which is owned by the Malaysian Chinese Association (a component party of BN), as abusive debate akin to that of "rowdies in the school yard," which was continued the day after when Parliament resumed. Badruddin had implied DAP MP for Batu Gajah, Ipoh, Fong Po Kuan, was an example of the aggressive character of modern Malaysian women, which led to more remaining single.
Badruddin asked, "How long can the Yang Berhormat's husband stand her?" Badruddin was charged by Fong with having uttered a malicious remark towards another member of the house, and eventually apologised for his remark.In July, when the status of Malaysia as an Islamic state was being debated, Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang of the DAP argued Malaysia was clearly a secular state, and cited a 1988 decision by the Federal Court. Badruddin then angrily yelled, "Malaysia ini negara Islam, you tak suka, you keluar dari Malaysia!" ("Malaysia is an Islamic state, you don't like it, you get out of Malaysia!") Fong then cited Standing Order 36 and asked Badruddin to withdraw his remarks as hurtful and unbecoming of an MP.
Deputy Speaker Lim Si Cheng asked the MPs in attendance to follow the Standing Order in accordance, but was ignored by the MPs who continued to argue loudly. The matter was brought to an end when Chow Kon Yeow, DAP Member for Tanjong moved to refer Badruddin to the Parliamentary Committee of Privileges. The motion was defeated by a voice vote.
In October, Badruddin again caused a commotion in the House when he referred to Lim as "the damned, bloody stupid old man!" He followed this up by shouting in Hokkien, a Chinese dialect used frequently in Malaysia, "Ah Pek (old man), sit down and keep quiet!" Later that month, Badruddin was condemned for again referring to Indians as keling. Badruddin had been discussing the practice of males wearing earrings, but when told by Chong Eng of the DAP that this is tradition for the eldest son in some Hindu families, Badruddin said, "I talking about Muslims, not keling."
This caused a commotion in the House, and Lim rebuked Badruddin for his comment. Badruddin refused to withdraw it and said, "This should not be a problem because I don't mean to insult by using such a word." He also said that phrases such as "keling botol" and "keling jual roti" were common in his home state, and asked, "why make a big fuss about it?" He later retracted his comment upon being ordered to do so by Deputy Speaker Datuk Yusof Yacob. MP K.Devamany was the only MP from the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), a major component party in BN, to criticise Badruddin's remarks. The Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) also condemned Badruddin's comments on its official website. Dissatisfied with the resolution of the situation, DAP labour bureau chairman A. Sivanesan, Pahang DAP deputy chairman J. Apalasamy and president of the Federal Territory Selangor Indian Muslim Front Ramli Abdullah all individually filed police reports against Badruddin.
Badruddin was not finished, and in the same month, again caused a stir in Parliament when he questioned the decision to permit Parliament staff not to wear the tudung or Malay Muslim headscarf. Nazri Aziz, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of Parliamentary Affairs, had been responding to a question from Fong, who upon noticing some non-Muslim staff wearing the tudung, asked if the dress code required it. Nazri stated that it did not, but Badruddin objected and stated "It is part of our Malaysian culture and not meant to threaten their rights. It would also show respect to the House. Moreover, it would only make them look younger and sweet looking." Nazri stressed wearing the tudung was a matter of personal choice, and argued, "We cannot force anyone to accept it."Lim then stood to debate with Badruddin, who responded, "This is the fasting month (of Ramadhan, when Muslims must fast during the day). I don't want to argue with people who don't understand, who don't fast." Wikipedia
