Non-Involvement of Malaysians

Non-Involvement of Malaysians

Dear Ed,

Frankly I've had a guts full of moaning Malaysian students. They have the bloody temerity to come over to Codzone, rip-off our Education System receiving a dirt cheap "finishing" University Education at the New Zealand working man's expense.

They appear to show the same arrogance and contempt of Kiwis as they do their own oppressed working people.

In all my time at University, from my little contact with Malaysians (they tend to be very unsociable to Kiwi male students as a rule) they seem to be a very cliquey mob who don't give a bugger about their own or their host country, the most socially aware activities I gather being to visit the prostitutes and queers down at the Bistro bar.

While perhaps there are a few decent types amongst them, Malaysian students as a rule are a dead loss, they contribute nothing to this country, unable to see beyond the bottom of their drinks or Mah Jong sets.

I take my hat off to Unsympathetic Malaysian who at least came to grips with Social issues in Malaysia, which is something most Malaysian students avoid like the plague.
