Support for Malaysia/Singapore Articles

May I take this opportunity to congratulate you and your friends for your hard work in publishing the special section of news on Malaysia and Singapore and 'Special Malaysia' in your newspaper.

Before I arrived in NZ early this year, I heard and read about squatters in Johore Bahru, retrenchment of workers in Singapore and demonstrations in Northern Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur, imprisonment of students and lecturers without trial under Internal Security Act of facist M'sian government etc... Your newspaper has helped me to understand the real situation in M'sia. i.e. The problems of the struggle between the Haves and Have Nots; foreign exploitation; and not the racial problem as always claimed by our so-called people leaders at home. The article on 'Universities and University Colleges Act' in your last issue of 'Malaysia Special' has done a very good job indeed in exposing how M'sian government suppress the academic freedom in the higher institutions of learning.

Finally don't forget that my friends, my people at home and I are behind you and are proud of what you have done for us. We hope you will keep on printing materials on M'sia and Singapore. Could you tell me about the publication on M'sia and Singapore. Have they printed their publication yet?

PS. I regret not supplying my name because of security reasons.

(The publication on Malaysia and Singapore is currently taking the form of 'Malaysian Special' in Salient, Means of publishing independently and in different forms are being considered.—Ed.)
