Salient. Official Newspaper of Victoria University of Wellington Students Association. Vol 40 No. 17. July 18 1977

Dear David,

Regarding the problems — welfare problems, What role does the OCF in Wellington play in this field?

Up to the present, OCF bad declared a neutral stand on the 45% Malaysian Students cutback. By keeping a neutral stand in another word is to tell the members and overseas students that she does not support the issue. Using the term 'neutral stand' is trying to fool the overseas students, especially its members.

As an organisation, OCF has not stopped [unclear: should] of not supporting the 45% Malaysian Student [unclear: cu] Recently she has stepped up her active [unclear: opposition] by discrediting the welfare work of MSSA, classifying it as political.

Intentionally OCF has tried to suppress the questioning of her members by solely encouraging them to study the Bible and not to care a damn — about everyday happenings.

Yet OCF has always declared herself to be working for the Welfare of Overseas Students. May I question why OCF can't support the 45% Malaysian Students cutback?

May I add another message to her faithful members — about the role of Christianity — especially regarding the chance of your future brothers and sisters who will be deprived of the chance to come here. Come on. It is time you question your leadership on this stand of the 45% Malaysian Students cutback.

RSVP.

A concerned Malaysian.
