Where we are supposed to fight as an army of all units not just the infantry so stop being overboard with your boasting of one particular unit as legendary to bravery and glory.<br /><br />It's like Najib said it what is the point of being popular and winning party election when you cannot win the people's election.<br /><br />And what is good with our army if it is only the infantry units are all good while other units are all bad. It will be a laughing stock to our enemy. To other countries they see our army not as Malaysian Infantry, but as Malaysian Army. And if the only thing good about Malaysian Army is only the infantry, our enemy doesn't have to commit their infantry into battles but enough by just fire their area weapon from far away to wipe out our infantry before we can reach our objective.<br /><br />Do not boast so much on Askar Melayu because warfighting is a team work. And what is there to be proud of Askar Melayu just because Askar Melayu was born earlier and are many and other units are few, that to say, Askar Melayu is great in quantity but what is of quality and of efficiency without the supports of other units?<br /><br />And you think our enemy is so afraid of Askar Melayu? Stop harbouring the attitude of becoming a Juara Kampung, Askar Melayu please.FMZamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684540817175263124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-47165137697104805642009-10-02T07:57:47.646+08:002009-10-02T07:57:47.646+08:00Is there any meaning if PD is Army Town or Soldier...Is there any meaning if PD is Army Town or Soldiers' Town and Lumut is Navy Town or for that matter any town is named after whatever military thing, when there are many more towns can be named with anything that is military that can make we all so excited when some big shot used it to excite himself in seeing we are so easily excited in just the glamour and glory of commemoration, and commemorating what, when the glory is only in names and is made used by a glory boy whose only mean is to seek a new glory for himself?<br /><br />Before Najib called PD Army Town, PD has been called Army Town by we all soldiers and the people, so where else towns you want Najib to declare as what military town you want to call and you better start asking Najib to plan for many more commemoration events in future so as to excite us with that, and we will be happy with that and for that we will give our military votes to him?<br /><br />Why are we falling into the pitfall of "misglorification" when past glories are all history that have not made us learnt to be a better army of today?<br /><br />I don't know Lt Adnan was a hero of Port Dickson to glorify Port Dickson as the town of Askar Melayu, but I sure know hell of Lt Adnan was the hero of Pasir Panjang and Pasir Panjang was where our hero fell in that historic battle and Pasir Panjang is in Singapore. Lt Adnan is not a hero for just Askar Melayu, he is a hero for all us soldiers. In war, bravery is commonplace and Pasir Panjang was where all other Askar Melayu soldiers were heroes and their names should well be remembered alongside Lt Adnan, and they were soldiers. <br /><br />And had we done anything better for those heroes who had fought well and died in Pasir Panjang to commemorate the history that can well be remembered by all soldiers other than making only Lt Adnan an icon for just Askar Melayu? We even have no bother whatsoever to ever give them all any posthumous award like we have done it to many dead icons? Have we? All we did was to name a fighting vehicle after Lt Adnan and that fighting vehicle is giving Adnan a bad name. Is that how we commemorate our hero?<br /><br />Stop all these nonsense, stop making use of military for propaganda purposes until we are blinded by the situation that military leaders are so corrupt to live for their political masters rather than live and die for their soldiers.FMZamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684540817175263124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-37919446194474205982009-10-01T15:32:02.294+08:002009-10-01T15:32:02.294+08:00should've declare this earlier on 1st of March...should've declare this earlier on 1st of March this year to commemorate the Army Day. politicians don really care much on recognising PD as Army Town... it's just happened to be a coincidence that by-election is to be held in the right place but in the wrong time. <br /><br />Anyway, It's good to have an Army Town now, to commemorate the significant of PD as the birthplace of our warriors.<br /><br />last time whn the declaration of Lumut as Navy Town were made, i started to wonder whether PD, Sg. Besi, or Ulu Tiram would be declared as Army Town.Alpha Tango Six Ninerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321952445860589859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-89162609058865597612009-10-01T14:31:19.698+08:002009-10-01T14:31:19.698+08:00A rose called by any other name will just smell as...A rose called by any other name will just smell as sweet, so the saying goes. Port Dickson need no change in name because it is synonymous with the Garrison and as the birthplace of RAMD.<br /> What needs to be done for the PD population is to enhance the quality of life there. The so-called mammoth project to ensure that pollution is checked by installing a proper sewage treatment plant has been kept in abeyance for decades, and the indiscriminate beachfront blockade by highrise apartments had marred the free access to the beaches which to all intents and purpose are public property. The only public access to the beaches is in Teluk kemang. By allowing private property to be developed along the fine sandy beaches, the less privileged have no free access to the sea. PD is actually a dead town except during school holidays and weekends. The haphazard and bad execution of the town planning blueprint must cease altogether. If ever the name of PD as the "Army Town" is to have a meaning, then the Royal Military College should be relocated in PD as it was there when it was first established as the " Federation Military College ".abdulhalimshahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238556448779778756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-81173805303339643542009-10-01T12:33:48.249+08:002009-10-01T12:33:48.249+08:00I'm just wondering how is renaming or labeling...I'm just wondering how is renaming or labeling a town can uplift the status of the people living there.<br /><br />The way I look at it, PD has been progressing quite well since the first time I pass through in early 70's. So, by renaming or with new label, would it be a catalyst for a quantum leap in the socioeconomic status, do our dear PM care to elaborate.<br /><br />Why need to declare it when there's election. It's just an indication that our government is doing things on ad-hoc basis or just lip service. Where are the development fund coming from or it has compromise development of other areas. Sigh !!! our government only knew to initiate projects and end-up into scandals, very sad indeed.nxforgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17830390755581963200noreply@blogger.com
