A review of MSA's Suara Siswa

A review of MSA's Suara Siswa

Dear Roger,

The editorial [unclear: in Super Siewea is a nice] of sheer bloody bullshit. By 'criticising' the High Commission the editor tries to hoodwink and misrepresent to the first year students who are new to the scene at Victoria, that MSA is an independent and progressive body. And putting up a few bourgeoise dances and promoting pop music (their only programme each year) these sellouts are distorting and degrading the healthy culture of the Malaysian people. MSA was, still it and will always be a puppet of the 'Malaysian' High Commission. There is no need for me to go to lengths to prove this point to you freshies. Time will lay bare the dirty nature of this organisation and prove the truth.

Ken Kim is a first class coward of a president who doesn't even dare express his stand in a straight forward statement but to 'crawl round the bush' to arrive at hit reactionary shit jargon,—to fight for a revolution with religious and parliamentary democracy (in a fascist country)!

To be or not to be' and 'Bedtime story' are two articles equally racist, except one lengthier than the other, and both peddling racial chauvinism. Both writers are openly promoting the racist line of the 'Razak Government'. They provide no solution but incite haired among the races and insult the Indian and Chinese people in Malaya as 'chickens with no guts' to resist injustice. These two ignorant bastards have arrogantly violated the scientific truth that 'where there is oppression there is resistance'. These two also fail to see that this is a class issue rather thin a racial issue. Who are the real enemies of the Malayan masses? They are the British colonialist, American imperialist, Soviet social imperialist and the local reactionary puppet authorities.

Using the tactic of 'divide and rule', enforced by racist and fascist laws, the authorities slanderously proclaimed special rights for the Malays, and that the Malay language will be taken as the national language, in a vain attempt to win over the Malays, and promote frictions among the multiraces in our motherland. But have the poor Malay peasants and fishermen lives become any better ever since the so-called 'independence' in 1957. The answer is evidently no. The ones who do really benefit are the 10% Malay ruling class.

The present situation of mass unemployment, high rate of inflation, severe housing problems, underfed population and ever rising prices of commodities are the only apparent results achieved by the Razak Government. Aware of this rotting society, more people are awakening with each passing day. Malaya will soon see the day when a new society is born, rid of foreign domination and where the long oppressed masses are masters of their own land.

The last article entitled 'Truth' by MSA 'moralist' John Chin is a far cry from the reality and the needs of the students of this revolutionary era. It is a mere waste of the members money to have this supertitious Bible preaching article in print. The only line that is worth a glance in this two and a hall pages of shit is the caption 'Listen to that Fanatic'.
