MSA Criticises De Silva

Wellington Malaysian Students Association strongly criticise the gratuitous action of the Malaysian High Commissioner in making informal complaints to the NZ Government about possible foreign backed communist subversion of Malaysian students in NZ universitites.

Such action merely manifests a blatant disregard for the Malaysian student and his fundamental prerogative of exercising free will in an environment which condones diverse political practices and ideologies.

We strongly urge the Malaysian High Commissioner to withdraw the complaints and to refrain from making further intimidations to Malaysian students in order to restore the good faith which they have had in this office.
