Suara no-balls?

Suara no-balls?

Dear Sir,

Permit me to make a few points on "Suara Raayat's" letter published in Salient, April 17 issue.

1)That writer instead of reviewing MSA "Suara Sisura" was really "revealing" his very own character.
2)That writer must be a certain son of a bitch because only such people describe others as "bloody bastards".
3)That writer hates MSA so much that he even forgot what he read in MSA year's programmes. If MSA organised dances are "bourgeoisie dances" then other varsity group's dances are similarly bourgeoisie dances. And certainly MSA's programmes this year do not have anything like "promoting pop-music" as he wildly alleged. Most of our programmes were stated in our group's manifesto before last year's annual election. That included the 1st NZ Malaysian students' sports tournament this May and the August South Island tour. Nothing on promoting pop or Mao music at all.
4)"Time will lay bare the dirty nature of this organisation and prove the truth" was what that naive writer cleared himself from his allegation that "MSA was, still is and will always be a puppet of the Malaysian High Commission". Indeed, this is simply intellectual masturbation since to prove with facts he knows there is none.
5)Perhaps "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" may materialise if that writer is willing to return now rather than trying to stay on in this very capitalistic establishment and bark.
6)That writer lacked the guts to use even his own name for publication. Instead of using 'Suara Raayat' it should have been 'Suara no Balls'.
