Salient. Victoria University Student Newspaper. Volume 38, Number 26. 1975

Sickening, insulting, childish?

Sickening, insulting, childish?

Dear Editor,

It's simply disgusting to read about Kelvin Ratnam's crude, distorting and spiteful reply to William Chang's letter (Salient 2nd October 1975). It is typical of a desperate person trying to run away from the truth i.e. the inevitable disintegration of the decadent MSSA—and uttering a lot of lies to confuse the students

Kelvin mentioned that MSSA has always conducted itself in the appropriate manner. How? What has he got to say about his Treasurer, Chua Chin lin, making obscene gestures (and mind you in front of a lady too!) as a reaction to the applause at William Chang's comments during the AGM? I don't blame him for treating that action as "appropriate since he is the "pariah" as he reveals himself to be—the lowest caste in his Indian society.

It is rather sickening, insulting and childish of Kelvin to suggest and hope that those Malaysians who have bacon and eggs or dine with Razak will either die of food poisoning or have live frogs in their soup. Perhaps it was "unfortunate" that he survived the effects of food poisoning and that some of the live frogs got killed in his stomach the last time he and a few Singaporean and Fijian Indians attended the dinner funtion thrown by the High Commissioner at Ocean Terminus last year. It is interesting to note that such "unprincipled pariahs" are the ones who are not invited, but nevertheless they turned up, ate and drank the most, and afterwards made unwarranted remarks about the High Commissioner's extravagance. Kelvin also revealed his cynic nature by suggesting that the P.M. who is a Muslim have bacon and eggs, knowing full well the Muslim's aversion to pork. Calling Muldoon a pig seems kindergarten stuff compared to this!

It is high time VUWSA stop supporting such shit-stirring "pariahs" like Kelvin who are rejected by their own community.

Yours faithfully,

(Pissed Off Malaysian)
