At the last WMSA AGM I was one of those less knowledgeable members who voted for the incumbent committee with the mistaken conception that this bunch of wanglers would promote some sensible and constructive activities for the Malaysian community in Wellington. There have been only disillusions and disgust from them, and to top it off came last week's WMSA committee's most revolting and outrageous claim:

"And because we know we have done no wrong we are confident that many of the students here in the campus support us in the activities we have undertaken."

Such an infantile claim can not even stand the test of convincing my neighbour's five year old son, let alone be swallowed through Salient. I urge the MSA committee to stop its obsession of indulging in complacency and egoism. The least thing they could do is to try to listen to what grassroot members have to say. I will bet the MSA committee my old gumboots that their claim of support from members was a far cry from truth. In fact, I challenge them to call a referendum to guage members' opinion. Till then, the committee's claim holds as good as any irrational and paranoic statement issued by President Amin.
