The fault of McDonald's mates or MSSA

The fault of McDonald's mates or MSSA

Sir,

May I refer to your front page article in the last Salient. You wrote about the occurence of the 'free for all fight' in the recent MSSA dance "Shindig".

Instead of critisising those MSSA committee you tried to fuck off the poor John McDonald who is standing in the recent VUW Presidental election.

Your article clearly showed your bias and your favouritism for MSSA in spite of the. obvious fact that MSSA is a real sore in your arse. You did not even mention the word "MSSA" in the article. Instead you tried hard to merely say 'a student group'. I am very sure that if it was organised by the MSA you would have used MSA on your headline and do all you could to condemn and rubbish MSA as you disgustingly did in their well organised incident-free curry evening.

Let's face it. MSSA's activities (as if any of worth) have never been well patronised by Malaysians. That is why the MSSA's committee has been trying to convince that it is very important for overseas' organisations to be forward looking and be able to mix with non Malaysians in NZ. The simple reason is that its survival depends solely on squeezing money from the Kiwis etc by throwing out rock dances.

I strongly support the writer 'Revolutionary Culture' who said that MSSA has degenerated to being an entertainment group with a profit motive and nothing else. I strongly suggest, however, that MSSA should try to win over Malaysians and Singaporeans first before trying to please outsiders. And should try to get those bastards from the Malaysian Students Department to come up here to tell us what they are doing in NZ apart from spying. Lastly, for goodness sake try to organise some useful activities for their members.
