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."
COMMENT - Harapan, DAP leaders still in denial about Johor By Ong Kian Ming
Monday, July 13, 2026
Malaysiakini : COMMENT | BN had won a landslide
victory in the Johor state election, bagging 48 out of 56 state seats
(85 percent) with a popular vote of almost 60 percent.
However,
the reaction of Pakatan Harapan, especially DAP leaders, seems to
reflect a state of continued denial with very little admission of what
went wrong in a disastrous campaign for the coalition.
When I
first projected a landslide victory for BN in Johor, about one week into
the campaign, this projection was met by scepticism among some Harapan
leaders.
A Little Bit Crazy : Alamak Professor Ong,
From my own observations and feedbacks from many people , as long as these two DAP YBs below, do not join the N9 campaigns, DAP can more likely retain their seats.
A. Nga Kor Ming
B. Liew Chin Tong.
Nga likes to self performing, too arrogant, the more he speaks, the more Malay voters will vote for BN.
Liew likes to stand on higher moral ground, to analyse this and that, nothing much relevant to the ordinary livelihood of rakyat. He should be a Research Professor in Oxford University, not as a Deputy Minister in Malaysia.
If PH wants to win in N9 State Elections, few simple things to do first.
1. Arrest the Melaka Polices who shot and killed the 3 Indian guys. This can win back Indian voters.
2. Arrest those Corporate Mafias who pakat with MACC.
3. Arrest or take immediate actions against Azam Baki for his shareholding scandal. This can win back many non bumi voters.
Mr. Anwar Ibrahim, as the PM of Malaysia, he has the enormous responsibility and power to right any wrongs. Don't hide behind or be blocked by any bureaucratic procedures and little neporeans to do the right things.
Common senses must prevail, if a weak Prime Minister is hesitant in taking actions against the criminals, no rakyat will feel safe. When most rakyat, especially non bumi don't feel safe, we walk away, we migrate overseas, we move our assets overseas, we go to any other places which welcome us, we abstain from voting..
For two decades, non bumi have supported strongly and built up the support base of PKR and DAP, and yet, one Akmal, one Hadi, one Indian temple, a few brutal enforcement officers, some lazy government servants, some ridiculous government office security guards, some corrupted politicians, can destroy the credibility of PH, so much so that, selective prosecution, selective actions were taken?
Broken promises, Reformati.. Why? Why? Why?
Why allow a good hand of cards, be destroyed by those irresponsible, greedy people?
Mr. Prime Minister, please stand up like a StateMan. Do your jobs properly, without fear and favour. Be firmed. Don't throw away your idealism to build up a Fair Malaysia for all Malaysians.
With non bumi supports, you can still win in ge16. Forget about the bumi votes, they want to support PAS and BN, let them be.
You should return to seek supports from the non bumi voters, we are your strongest base.
You too should seek more supports from East Malaysia voters who are mostly non bumi or bumi with more open minded.
Go back to search for the original spirit of Reformasi. Stick to it. You can come back stronger.
