Dear Editor,
The letters that appeared on March 28 amused me very much and I was very surprised they were written by the so called highly educated ones.
I can't see how some of the replying letters related the critics' letters (as appeared on March 21) with Marxist ideas.
We, the lucky ones who are able to come here should be bright enough to know the root- cause of the widespread poverty at home. Nevertheless, the bright suggestions to solve the problem as suggested is to engage the "bright ones" in cutting more throats or "the Char Koay Teow hawker should charge a thousand pounds for a single bowl of that delightful dish.
If they believe that will solve the root- cause of the poverty at home, those bright people should pack up their bags and go home. For they are wasting their time studying here.
A very surprised
