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."

10 questions for Khairy, starting with 'Malay wisdom' - Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy

Gov't schools teach wife beating, Chinese schools teach science by Mariam Mokhtar
Malaysiakini : ā€œI'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue, you were saying something about best intentions.ā€ ā€“ Jules Winnfield, Pulp Fiction
COMMENT | Dear Khairy Jamaluddin, I do not normally write open letters. The last one I wrote was to PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, and he didnā€™t reply. This made me, as Donald Trump would put it, sad. Now, I know I have publicly declared you as my bĆŖte noire. But really, this was when Umno was winning, and as you can tell I was pretty pissed. So donā€™t take it to heart.
Anyway, since you are the only one from Umno who speaks ā€œsense,ā€ as Hannah Yeoh claims, I thought I would address these question to you. I had attempted to address these question to some of my other Umno friends, but they demurred. Truth is, I also asked some of these question to Pakatan Harapan operatives.
Same reaction. So, I thought, why not Khairy, who really has nothing to lose. Sorry, didnā€™t mean to bring up losing. Anyway, the last article I wrote was about the eventual sublimation of Umno into Harapan. I received a lot of hate mail from my Umno friends, who said that I should give the opposition a chance, like I did when Harapan was not the establishment.
Now, I donā€™t know if all these people are your friends, but most of them said that you are the future of Malay politics, even though most of them could not stand your guts. I really couldnā€™t tell if this was because of what you say, or because they had nothing new to say. But donā€™t worry. I wonā€™t hold your political baggage against you because, well, I voted Harapan in and those guys have baggage up the wazoo. Iā€™ll ask the question and give a little context in italics.
1. What is Malay wisdom?
I addressed this question to a few political operatives from Harapan and they said, whatever Dr Mahathir Mohamad says. Ok, Iā€™m kidding. They told me that by asking this question, I was spooking the Malays.
All jokes aside, one of them said, it was Khalid Samadā€™s explanation of the move to compel tahfiz centres to register with Jawi. I thought that this was a pretty good answer. And of course, this same political operative said, ā€œWhat the hell is Malay wisdom?ā€ This political operative is Malay, and even she has not heard of Malay wisdom. I tried asking some of my friends from Umno, and they said Malay wisdom, is listening to Mahathir when he told them to dump Najib Abdul Razak. So I guess there is something to listening to the old maverick, but I digress.
2. Since the majority of Malays voted for Umno and PAS, do you really think that they want a progressive Umno?
See, when you talk about progressive values or ideas, this appeals to a specific base. I wonder if the Malays who voted for Umno and PAS ā€“ even if they knew Najib was a kleptocrat ā€“ really want the kind of ā€˜new Malaysiaā€™ that some folks keep babbling on about?
I spoke to a few Malay Harapan operatives, and they attempted to avoid the question. But you made some pretty interesting choices in your manifesto, like appealing to the woman vote by creating a woman's seat for the Umno vice-president post. Thatā€™s pretty progressive, but since you lost, do you think that progressive is the way to go, especially since Harapan also struggles with this issue?
3. The talk among Umno potentates is how they will pay for things now they arenā€™t in government. How exactly do you think that Umno is going to keep the base intact when the usual modes of enticements have been cut off?
I mean Harapan talks about an austerity budget, but I am thinking that Umno must be really scrambling for funds to keep the base happy. Some folks have told me that theyā€™re wondering if theyā€™ll be targeted by the Harapan state next. I mean all that looting was not solely done by Najib, right?
4. You mooted the idea that Umno should or could be multiracial. How exactly would this work, when someone like Mahathir says the reality of Malaysia is that the majority needs a race-based party?
Is conventional Malay thinking wrong? If so, then why stick with Umno or even attempt to reform it? If conventional Malay politics is wrong, does this mean without an infusion of talent from Umno, Bersatu is doomed to fail?
5. Do you think lesbians should be caned?
Corollary to that, do you think that watching lesbian S&M porn is worse than watching a livestream of two lesbians caned by a woman officer? I only ask because some people are worried that the Communications and Multimedia Commission are monitoring them when they watch porn, which is not really true ā€“ I think ā€“ but who knows with this country.
6. Do you think that Umno should cut ties with Najib?
Some Harapan supporters have said that Umno is complicit in what Najib did. Just recently, Lim Kit Siang said that Umno should cut ties with its former president. What is your stand on this issue? From interviews, I know you say that Umno drank the Kool-Aid, but do you think that having Najib around does anything for Umno?
7. If Umno somehow manages to make a deal with Harapan, what would be your response?
Do you think that Umno should make deals with Harapan to form the government? If not, why not? Many of the Umno folk I have spoken to seem to think this is a good idea. Some of your public comments seem to imply you do not.
8. Which is worse, a kleptocracy or a theocracy?
I have said the latter. Some folks think the former. As someone who has been part of the former, what do you think? This also goes for working under ā€“ sorry, with ā€“ PAS. Do you think this political copulation unnatural?
9. Do you think that Umno should punish defectors, or do you think that maybe you should seriously consider abandoning Umno?
I only ask because I find the current crop of young Harapan political operatives pretty boring. Itā€™s all about kowtowing to the old maverick, or fretting if Anwar will become the next prime minister. I think that you want to be the next prime minister.
10. What recent event do you think that Harapan handled badly, and what would be your response if you were a Harapan political operative?
Well, these are the ten questions. Hope you reply, unlike Hadi, which again, I was extremely sad about.
