Positive action

Positive action

Dear Sir,

Where are Rev. Oh and Padre Chin when the squatters in Johore Baru need their moral support? Again, the positive action must be taken by progressive groups like the MSSA. The MSA is in the mould of jelly as was the last committee.

Students of all races at home have risen to protest against the government's brutality in evicting the squatters. Meanwhile the Wellington MSA seminarians attend to their daily prayers, oblivious to the sufferings of the people. "We must be sure of the facts before we act" says little John, while Rev. Oh is embarrassingly quiet. Is he in communion with God and has no time for the ordinary people?

Reverends, please do not call yourselves Christians and put the name of Christ to shame. Or perhaps you don't care about the Muslims?
