Malaysians Denied Voice

Malaysians Denied Voice

The students in Malaysia are no longer represented by any national union (such activities being defined as subversive) and so now these regulations, if, as is a foregone conclusion, they are extended to New Zealand, will render the situation of the concerned Malaysian student very precarious indeed.

The assurance given to NZUSA by Talboys, that Malaysian students will enjoy the same civil liberties as New Zealanders, contradicts the Malaysian statement, but I cannot see the New Zealand government refusing any Malaysian recommendations on this matter.

In any case the interpretation of civil liberties questions by our elected leaders is subject to a great deal of conjecture, judging by the decision of the Magistrates Court on the Maori parliament protestors case.
