No Atheists
In A Foxhole

Rudyard Kipling

" ā€œWhen 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

" ā€œWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā€

ā€œIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā€
ā€œOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
ā€œThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace,
for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā€
ā€œMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā€
ā€œThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

ā€œNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
ā€œIt 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."

Mohd Khir had spent RM1.7 million on overseas trips including two to Disneyland.
Tuesday, April 07, 2009
As the saying goes, you point one finger and four more point back at you.

Over the past month, the (SelCAT) inquiry revealed how a few in power, including Mohd Khir, had gallivanted around the world using peopleā€™s money.

Many of these excesses were touched on by Citizen Nades last week, and a lot more such as the RM160,000 watch gift to Mohd Khir by a state subsidiary were exposed by this paper since March last year.

Yesterday, we read how Mohd Khir had spent RM1.7 million on overseas trips including two to Disneyland.

What makes oneā€™s stomach churn is that Mohd Khir and his minions did not even bother to disguise the trip as a lawatan sambil belajar. The least they could have done was to slot in a few meetings with the theme park management or the guy in the Mickey Mouse suit (although I think Goofy would have been more up their alley).

But no. With kids and maid in tow, it was a blatant lawatan sambil berjoli, paid by the people of Selangor. Such was their arrogance and superiority complex that they thought no one could question them.

But no, like all Disney fairytales, the wicked stepmother may have had the upper hand in the beginning but they all end with her getting her just desserts.

In real life, however, one wonders if those who had abused the public trust will be brought to book. This is because as recent experiences have shown us, the system seems to work for some but not others.

Mohd Khir and his wife Datin Seri Zahrah Kechik refused to attend the inquiry which wound up on Wednesday, choosing instead to hide behind their lawyerā€™s letter.

But they cannot run away forever. It is the way of the world, karma if you please.

Even if they donā€™t end up in jail for corruption, CBT or abuse of power, there are other ways that they will have to face the music.

Losing the state in the general election is one. Failing to win the Umno Youth chiefā€™s post was another. With all these hanging over his head, the loss of trust among the rakyat and popularity in his party, Mohd Khirā€™s political future is as good as finished.

The incoming prime minister, it is understood, wants a clean slate and hopes to purge his administration and party of those with tainted hands.

Mohd Khir will go down in history as the first Umno mentri besar to lose Selangor to the opposition. If he wants a scapegoat, he needs to only look in the mirror.

Just before the general election, Mohd Khir told theSunā€™s editors that some of the stories and commentaries carried by this paper were damaging to him, as well as his partyā€™s chances in the general election. Although he gave excuses for the shortfalls, and tried to sidetrack the argument by throwing the race card, he could not counter our arguments.

All I can say is there was no hidden agenda or political motivation in our writings. And if this paperā€™s exposes helped rid the system of leaders who treated public funds as their own, consider it our national service. Sun2 Surf

One of Terenceā€™s favourite tunes is Stingā€™s "History Will Teach Us Nothing", thus he feels past lessons need to be repeated so we donā€™t make the same mistakes. He is deputy editor, (special reports & investigations). To reach him, email: terence@thesundaily.com
