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."
I Could Have Died If I Cannot Find A Hospital Bed.

Beds in a Parking Lot
From Feisal via WhatsApp : On the 5 October at 1.30am I was breathless.
My wife and son rushed me to the Emergency Section of the Sunway Medical Centre . They put me on oxygen and revived me . I had a rude shock when Sunway told me that they have no bed for me. They however told my wife that they will try to help find a bed in other hospitals.I was willing to go to either a private or a public hospital in the Klang Valley.Sunway reported that they have called 13 hospital but none have a bed for me. Can you imagine the dilemma and anxiety that my wife and I were going thru with those NO VACANCY news.
Luckily , the 14th Hospital, which is the Shah Alam Hospital was willing to squeeze me in. I was told to rush to their emergency section immediately.At 4.30 am, the ambulance with full siren blasting rush me to Shah Alam. I am 73 years old , a former Army Capt scrambling to find a bed to save my life. This is more frightening than when I started to serve Malaysia as a 21 years old 2Lt looking for Communist Terrorist in our jungles.
The doctors finally identified my sickness as severe pneumonia with lung infection. They found water in my lungs.They drew about two liters of water from it. It was the Shah Alam team of very hardworking young doctors, nurses who saved my life.
I was discharged on 14 October. I realized the poor and inadequate state of our Medical facilities. I am on a long road to recovery.I hope our overcrowded hospital has the equipment, medicine and resources to help me recover.
To those POLITICIANS who have taken Malaysia ‘s Money , RETURN the RAKYATS’ MONEY .We need our money to enhance our Medical Services And Facilities Immediately.Some of our Ministers have the audacity to talk about spending lots of money to renovate their offices and official residence
The RAKYAT ARE SUFFERING.
May I propose that our Ministry of Health provide WEB SITES dedicated to the following:
. List of Published Rates for the Standard and Basic Facilities Daily Charges at Private Hospitals.
List of Ambulance Services
and their Rates.
The Real Time Occupancy at Public and Private Hospitals.
I Plead to the Young and Honest Politicians like Syed Saddiq,
Rafizi, Hannah, Nurul and Yeoh Bee
Yin, to come forward and serve Malaysia.
To all those:
OLD, RACE And RELIGION Base POLITICIANS :
“GET OUT , WE DONT WANT YOU”
WE, THE RAKYAT ARE SUFFERING .
WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK 🇲🇾
