An Elitist Clique

My disappointment and pessimism of my neighbouring Singaporean students were further deepened by the letter signed A Singaporean. I hope s/he is not a typical Singaporean but that of a minority bunch that I know of. This small clique of bloody cocky and arrogant students think they are a rung above the average Malaysians. Most of them have scholarships and make no bones about showing off their above middle class origins. These exhibitionists swagger around flaunting money and displaying their decadent wog culture, held so dear by the affluent of Singapore.

May I remind these bananas, (Asians with white Colonial mentalities) that they may be the 'elites' of Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore, but their disgusting 'high society' mannerism will not be tolerated in Victoria University. It is this category of Singaporean, these stereo-typed morons, brain washed and processed by one of the most repressive regimes in the world, that hurts me. These unwitting victims were churned out of the factory to sing praises to Harry Lee, and sadder still think themselves to be the cream of the society!!!

Having punctured their bloated egos, I hope they are now sober enough to swallow another blinking solid fact. And that is that Singapore has been and will always be part of Peninsula Malaya, socially, culturally, historically, politically and economically. If a Singaporean's patriotic fervour is so tuned up as to be ready to slaughter even his fellow countrymen, may I suggest these paper-tiger type national servicemen be fed to the hungry columns of Vietnamese troops.

I will now come back to the letter by the Singaporean. S/He dismissed the many facts and arguments of Salleh and S.Ng as garbage without any substantial argument whatsoever. 'Get the facts right' was mentioned twice in his/her letter. And the single so called 'fact' in A Singaporean's letter was that David Lo, was in 1977, involved in collecting signatures for freedom of speech and political prisoners and to oppose Razak's visit. This must be the most embarassing blunder of facts in the letters to Salient this year.

Razak's Australasian tour was in October 1975. The shock of 'over-enthusiastic' student welcomes accelerted his actute leukemia, and he kicked the bucket on January 14, 1976. By 1977 he was long gone and rotting 6 feet underground, beneath the National Mosque.

Your hero, David Lo must be haunting the ghost of Razak then,' god forbid. Despite his arrogance, Lee Kuan Yew sometimes does bother to check the facts before he opens his big mouth. Perhaps little LKY (A Singaporean) [unclear: sho] his homework too, instead of making a [unclear: pe] fool and laughing stock of himself)
