MSA and Razak Government put in their place

MSA and Razak Government put in their place

Dear Editor,

I would like to point out to "Pissed Off Malaysian" the following:
1.My treasurer is free to express himself in whatever manner he feels like at an AGM. I don't blame him for his actions especially when you get a bunch of blockheads whose disruptive habits would get anyone's blood up.
2.The most obscene event this year will be the grand moment when MSA has breakfast with Tun Razak. 'Bacon and eggs' is another way of referring to breakfast.
3.I have never been to any of the High Commission's functions in the time that I have been here. Yes! I will have to agree with you that there are many who do go to such functions, soak up the wine, glut over the food and then come out and criticise K. L. and the High Commission.
4.The Fijian Indians do not patronise our High Commission's functions. They have no reason to do so. So please leave them out of this. They have a communal problem of their own and their own High Commissioner to go to.

Further, I would like to bring it to the attention of "An Observer" that I will always take the opportunity to condemn MSA and the Malaysian Government whenever the opportunity presents itself. Loyalty is not for the present Malaysian Government Governments come and go. Loyalty is to your nation, its flag and three communal groups (especially those Malays, Chinese and Indians who are poor and have their teeth kicked by the government) that make up the population. Governments in Asia have a habit of overstaying their time after coming to power. They do so with the forced "consent" of the people they trod on and the National Front Government in K. L. is an example par excellence. At the rate things are deteriorating in Peninsular and east Malaysia, the present Malaysian Government will be replaced by another in the not too distant future.

The Malaysian Government is a government of incompetent, corrupted politicians and administrators. A corrupted government is a pariah government and a student organisation that supports it is an even bigger pariah.

My letter in the previous issue of Salient was a dirty letter and that's the way I would like it to stay. This is the only language a dirty government and its MSA mouth piece on campus understand. The language of reason, diplomacy and tact is something alien to their way of doing things

Last but not least, nothing gives me more pride than to be a low-caste out caste amongst my own people.

Yours sincerely,

Kelvin J. Ratnam

(P. S. The next time you people write letters have the gumption to sign your name. Anonymity is no substitute for hypocrisy.
