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."

COMMENT | And now, a sequel to 'Billion Dollar Whale' - R Nadeswaran
Friday, August 12, 2022

Malaysiakini : Good men? Some of them received a small fortune while head honchos of listed companies set up a pancaragam (band) to compose and sing a song of praises for their benevolent leader.

For the 1MDB case, there were plenty of ā€œChemical Alisā€ who made so many ridiculous statements reflecting blind loyalty for the crumb offerings which were dangled as a carrot.

(At the height of the US invasion of Iraq, Ali Hassan al-Majid, the notorious ā€œChemical Aliā€, also known as ā€œComical Aliā€, stood out with his infamous quotes after the US forces had annihilated the Iraqi army. ā€œThe American louts fled. God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Iraqisā€, he infamously said.)

So many lies were invented to defend the theft, including a so-called Arab prince who could not remember making the donation although fake letters from him were made public; investments in ā€œunitsā€; classifying another PAC report as secret; ministers making ridiculous and incomprehensible statements; and a grandstanding that ā€œour money is safe.ā€

All that could not prevent the leader and the party from being knocked off the pinnacle after waves of unhappiness and dissent emerged. The rest, as they say, is history. The man involved potentially faces a long spell in the slammer and there are other criminal charges pending in the courts.

But the LCS issue will have its usual drama. At this stage, there have been no signs of Hollywood starlets, pink diamonds, glass pianos or visits to the casino or purchases of art and real estate. Maybe more will be forthcoming when a full-blown inquiry is conducted or when the wrongdoers are produced in court.

Will the authorities step up?

In the meantime, we Malaysians have to sit back and watch the ā€œmovieā€ and be content with reading or listening to the many systems that had gone wrong.

The procurement system will be scrutinised; the key players will be made to answer for their decisions, their actions and inaction; the methodology in distributing and dispersing the loot; and the consequences to Malaysiaā€™s defence systems.

Once again, the details of transactions and the ingenious and inventive routes taken will be there for all to see.

The prime minister made the best decision in his short tenure by announcing that the report of a forensic audit on the governmentā€™s procurement of the LCS will be declassified.

In a statement, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the government guarantees a transparent investigation will be carried out.

Unlike one of his predecessors who got his hands sullied by covering up wrongdoings in the 1MDB affair, he stressed that those responsible for the LCS scandal will not be spared.

He has ordered the MACC to expedite its investigation and if there is evidence of wrongdoing, the attorney-general will be required to drag all those responsible to court to face the music.

But in the order is a caveat: Will the MACC act in the same urgent manner expeditiously when it investigated unsubstantiated claims of bribery by dubious parties against a judge?

Only time will tell, but the PMā€™s last words that ā€œthe government will not protect those responsibleā€ should be a signal that there should be no dilly-dallying on this issue.

It can be said that PM read the ā€œRiot Actā€ and the MACC has found itself being ordered to buck up. For the record, it took a good five years before someone was charged for yet another scandal ā€“ the purchase of student accommodation by Mara Holdings.

The phrase ā€œcan I advise you somethingā€ is appropriate for the MACC. Do the job, pronto!

A brave and commendable commitment, but will we see yet another senior judicial officer waving a piece of paper and declaring everything is hunky dory?

Not likely. With the hustings around the corner, there is much more at stake. This time around, only the truth will be acceptable. No frantic calls for letters, no fake sheikhs, no fake letters, and no fake accounts.
