Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."

Malays
will do better if they abandon UMNO. This isnāt UMNO of the early years before
Mahathir came. Mahathir described UMNO correctly when he says; UMNO is full of
leaders who are interested in feathering their own nest and that of family and friends.
Itās not like Malays are going to drop dead when they stop supporting UMNO.The
first thing they must do is to shake off that mental bondage. Itās liberating.Malays
take up the top posts in the country. Thatās
already provided for in the constitution.
Your numerical strength will ensure that
anyway. In states where Malays are majority, your position is guaranteed. But in
places where you are a minority, such as in Sabah and Sarawak, why should Malays
insist they must be top leaders? The majority in Sarawak are the ibans and
dayaks and since they are also bumiputeras, top leadership in that state should
be given to them. In Sabah, if the non-Malay bumi are in the majority they deserve
to helm the state. But
where does it say, these leaders must come from UMNO or that Malays are
prevented from choosing the more talented Malays? The Malays in UMNO for example-
why must their choice be limited to just Najib, Muhyidin or the current crop of
top leadership? UMNO is an important political factor in the country indeed.
But
Malays need not tie their destiny with UMNO. Itās just another political party
whose quality is as good as the quality of its leadership. Why
should Malays place their future and destiny with a party, which Dr Mahathir described
as being full of half past six leaders? We have a home minister who hasnāt cleared
himself from a case of assault. We have a minister who is appointed despite
being identified as the key Mr Fix It by the RCI on Judicial appointments. We
also have a former CEO of Maybank crowing about taking Malaysia to new heights
despite not making good his promise to unravel the corruption scandal of
Alcatel and Telekom Malaysia. We have crooks and thieves as members of the
cabinet. And
so, we must congratulate our Optimus Prime Minister for his bizarre choice of autobot
ministers. Now his minions are shouting
let there be no contest for the top leadership posts.
What they are really
shouting for is, letās keep Najib. In other words, let us retain the mob-like
character of the party by keeping on the chief mob and the other lesser dons. If
crooks and thieves hold important posts in Najibās government, then his government
is a government of mobs, by mobs and for mobs. The
latest to join the ignominious band of vengeful and repressive UMNO leadership
is Muhyidin Yassin. He is deputy UMNO president and the deputy PM. He says that
BN will give preference to those who support UMNO and BN.There
is an old Malay saying, bapa borek, anak
rintek, father spotted, the son speckled which
loosely translates into as is the father
so is the son. As the father urinates
while standing, so the son urinates while running. The bad behavior of the
leaders is soon replicated by the follower. Now
we know why village headmen appointed by UMNO helped out UMNO supporters only. They
share the same bad habits and traits as the leaders. In giving out the statement,
Muhyidin is behaving like an ill-mannered pengerusi JKKK. All this while, we
thought only Najib behaves like one. The entire cabinet is infected! In
Raub, village headmen appointed by UMNO are refusing to render assistance to
those they think did not support them in the last elections.
May we remind
these village headmen, their duty is to help and offer service to ALL village
inhabitants irrespective of political affiliations? If they donāt understand
this basic responsibility, it is better for them to resign their posts. They get
paid from taxpayersā money without regard to political affiliations; they must
reciprocate by carrying out their duties without regard to the same. Otherwise,
let the government collect taxes from UMNO people only.Likewise
if Muhyidin does not understand this basic responsibility towards ALL Malaysians,
maybe he is fit to lead UMNO but never this country. People
like Najib, Muhyidin and the others who shout the loudest and hence got
themselves elevated to the status of natural leaders, have turned UMNO into a
party of a mob. These are the people who give life to UMNO by behaving like the
irrational, childlike, violent sounding organisms deriving their energy from
the group.
They create chaos, mayhem and images of destruction to allow their leaders
climb or cling to power. The
characteristics of a mob party are twisting the truth, inciting passions,
demonizing opponents and relying on its media industrial complex to foist
propaganda upon us in place of ideas. That
is why, UMNO appeals only to the mob-minded people outside its own organisation.
UMNO appeals to the least-informed whose daily information diet comes from
Utusan Malaysia, TV3 and so forth. The supporters
of UMNO are easily identifiable- welfare recipients, government workers who can
never be laid off, actors and actresses, the soccer crowds, head-up-their-asses
billionaires who run full page advertisements, over-paid bankers earning RM400k
to RM 1,2 million a month. UMNO
has given up attracting votes from the informed crowd. UMNO knows itās easier to
get support by frightening people and promising earth and heavens or at least
saying, we honour our promises. Plagiarized from SAKMONGKOL AK 47.
