[Letter from A Malaysian to Salient Vol. 40 No. 6. April 4 1977]

Dear Editor,

After reading through the letters about the Malaysian sketch put up during the international night, I felt that most of the comments made were right to the point and justified. I say so, because I had the same feeling too on that night.

However I kept the feeling to myself which I now realise was an incorrect attitude to hold. For, if every Malaysian takes the 'keep quiet' attitude, knowing quite well that other members of the audience (especially the Kiwis) of the International night would be misled by the scene, what would happen then? The answer might be: "the misunderstanding between the Kiwis and Malaysians will become greater." Is that what we Malaysians wish to promote? No, of course not! That is the reason why I decided to pick up my pen and end my wrong attitude.

A Malaysian.
