Annoyed Malaysian

Annoyed Malaysian

Dear Sir,

What has R. Pui done since his 'nine-day wonder' tour? Has he got scared and is in hiding? The Hunter's letter shows that he does not know what he is doing.

But he is asking for plenty of trouble by stirring up discontent amongst Malaysians. Malaysians have been satisfied with things until the NZUSA made a lot of nonsense out of Khoo's arrest and Pui got stirred up for no reason at all. Khoo is a communist and deserves to be jailed, as these troublemakers are attempting to overthrow our political system through violent means. The government is justified in denying citizens of some democratic rights to control this problem. Pui should be aware of this as a law student. Can he honestly say that there is no law in any country that does not restrict the activities of its citizens? There are many in New Zealand, e.g., the laws against trade unions, homosexuals, traffic regulations and abortion.

In demanding for 'democratic rights' he is demanding too much in context of Malaysian politics where conditions are different from that of New Zealand. Malaysia is not New Zealand. He has been here loo long as consistently pointed out, to know of the changes at home. He should be deported to jail for his silly views. If he wants to stay in NZ be should keep his mouth shut and hope that the NZ Government will let him stay if it decides that he is useful. Malaysia does not want people like him.
