Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
Madani enables PAS mockery of Palestinian issue By Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy
Monday, October 27, 2025
Malaysiakini : Syahredzan is directing the question to the wrong group. He should be
directing the question to Madani. Keep in mind that if PAS is saying
that the non-Muslims are a threat to the Malays, much as Benjamin
Netanyahuās genocidal war is to the Palestinians, this would make Malays
in DAP collaborators.
Similarly, DAP backbencher RSN Rayer, who
once claimed that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim was like Mahatma Gandhi
and Nelson Mandela, questioned why Indian leaders aligned with PN were
quiet on this provocation by PAS.
Again, the question is directed
to the wrong group, and yet again, non-Malay MPs shield Madani while
they and the community they represent are vilified by extremists.
PASā history
PAS
has a history of inciting against non-Muslims using the Palestinian
issue. PASā despicable and frankly racist statements that the Urban
Renewal Act is akin to the Nakba are the direct result of deep-rooted
anti-Semitism in the political landscape and the reality that the Madani
regime has weaponised the Palestinian issue.
Just last year, PAS had a very vocal and overt campaign comparing Malay ownership in Penang to the Palestinian issue.
As reported
in the press, āThe party claims that Penang has carried out a
āsystematic seizureā by taking over ownership and control of areas that
were originally predominantly Malay-Muslim. They allege that this was
done by changing the status of rural land to urban land and implementing
mega projects and luxury developments.
Every
time PAS plays this card, the Malays in DAP have to step up and remind
the DAP base that these are provocative things to say, and PN will
reject such statements.
First of all, why would PN reject such
statements? PN has positioned itself as the primary means for Malays to
control the government without DAP involvement.
Secondly, PAS and the Malay establishment in one way or another have portrayed the community under siege for decades.
āMalays fear DAPā
Former
prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad may claim that Anwar is a
pathological liar, but he has admitted that the Malays fear the DAP
because of the strategies he carried out.
āSo
the Malays fear DAP. I myself had to some extent contributed to the
poor reputation of DAP. I portrayed it as an evil party that wanted to
control Malaysia and one that did not care about the fate of the
Malays.ā
We have mainstream political dogma that claims that the
Malay community will become slaves in their lands. We have the political
establishment that warns that the Malays are divided and susceptible to
manipulation by non-Malay political factions, which are detrimental to
the well-being of the Malay community. We are warned not to spook the
Malays.
Any
rational person would consider PAS' speech āincitementā. Any rational
person would be offended by such speech since it is ahistorical and
grounded in fabrications that are unfortunately part of the mainstream
racial narratives of this country.
But not Deputy Dewan Rakyat speaker Ramli Nor, who, as reported in the press, dismissed
Ipoh Timor MP Howard Leeās motion that Marzukās Facebook post about the
non-Muslims dominating the economic sector was akin to Zionism, āā¦
saying he had yet to find words intended to mislead the house.ā
Think
about it. These statements are apparently not misleading to the house,
which basically means the house confirms or endorses such views. Nothing
to see here, folks.
When govt stays silent
Every
time any of these Malay uber types uses the Palestinian issue in a way
that denigrates the non-Muslims in this country, the ruling
establishment says nothing.
However, any time a non-Muslim says
something politically incorrect but factual about the Palestinian issue,
the outrage is palpable, and the state security apparatus comes down
hard on the transgressors.
The government makes a big deal about
the hurt feelings laws. We are told it is needed to keep agitators in
line. We have been told it has not been abused. But hereās the thing,
where are the hurt feelings laws when it comes to PAS?
Rational
people have to ask themselves if the state finds no evidence that what
these cretins say hurts the feelings of non-Muslims, what does it say
about Madaniās views on what these cretins say?
Furthermore, what
does this say about the plight of the Palestinians? What does it say
about the state which allows its suffering and misery to be used as a
political weapon against citizens of this country? What this kind of
speech does is radicalise people.
No action against PAS
However,
the fact that it is mainstream and goes unpunished by the state, which
at the drop of a hat would investigate the non-Muslims for far less, is
what PAS relies on to get away with these kinds of incitements.
Protest against US President Donald Trump
PAS
understands that the prime minister and Madani would never do anything
against the party because to do so would put the religious and racial
bona fides of Madani in question.
So PAS continues its blood libel
against the non-Muslims in this country, making a mockery of the
Palestinian issue, enabled by Madani against tax-paying citizens of this
country.
The prime minister wonders
why there is a backlash against his efforts on behalf of Gazans - āAnd
when we brought those injured here (for medical treatment), some people
started to criticise, saying I shouldnāt be the prime minister of
Malaysia, telling me to go be the prime minister of Palestine if I
really wanted to help.ā
