Malaysian Govt. Getting Shitty

Malaysian Govt. Getting Shitty

It is a red herring to say that there is such great pressure on universities that the number of overseas students needs to be cut down, and it is obvious to anybody with half a mind that the move came about, because of the concern of both the New Zealand and Malaysian Governments about the growing political awareness, organisation and dissatisfaction of Malaysian students in this country.

After waiting a while to see if there were any major new developments (which there weren't) we paid a call on Don Carson (International Vice President of NZUSA) to elicit some background facts on the Post report and what had led up to it.

Don said that he had heard from a number of sources that there was going to be a quota system established, and that the announcement had come as no surprise to him, despite the fact that NZUSA was not consulted before the decision was made.
