Noting the recent spate of attacks on the NZMSEC and MSAs and personalities involved, I would like to contribute further to the expanding information on the last. I am a member of MSA with close contact with the Wellington MSA executive committee and have learnt some shocking things about some of the leaders which members are not aware of:

1.	I learnt very recently to my utter disgust that articles expressing any progressive ideas submitted to the MSA publication Suara Siswa, are ripped up by the President.
2.	This person and the vice-President decide things without consulting the committee members who are often kept in the dark about the affairs of the MSA.
3.	Someone has complained that one of the present committee members who is not a student at Victoria was recently co-opted. This person has very close ties with the Malaysian High Commission and manages Malaysia house and is an electronics expert.
4.	The President submits a list of names of Malaysian students to the High Commission whenever Malaysian dignitaries come to Wellington so that they can be invited to any function held in their honour. If they don t turn up, their absence is noted, according to a reliable source.
5.	In a circular sent to members this month, they were instructed to approach non-member Malaysians to join the MSA.

May I ask the spokesman of MSA hoping there is one, to clarify the following queries:

1.	What right has the President to tear up contributions of members to Suara Siswa just because he does not like their views and since he is not the Editor.
2.	Is it true democracy to do things behind the backs of members and on their behalf when they are supposed to represent them and their views.
3.	What is an electronics expert and a close friend of the High Commission doing on the committee.
4	Should names of Malaysians be given voluntarily to the High Commission.
5	Does MSA pretend to represent the views of all Malaysians?
