Comment on "Suara Siswa"

Comment on "Suara Siswa".

Dear Editor,

Allow me to comment something about MSA's recent publication 'Suara Siswa'? It is indeed just a bigoted piece of garbage which can only be produced by a group of reactionaries. Extreme reactionary in the sense that this publication is somewhat designed to in calculate fear in the minds of Asians especially if anyone had read the article written by Dr. Vasil. As far as I see it Asians here have the right to take an interest in affairs both in NZ and also at home — a right to question what is right and wrong as they see it and do something to solve the problems. One just has to sit down and question ourselves "Do we consider ourself as helping to work for the betterment or our society or are we going to be a disappointment to society by just keeping dilent about what we think is wrong?

The MSA's committee must be raving mad after being so isolated after the ISC or either they are so 'thick' in their head. The way they put forward their excuses about not not attending the recent ISC is an excuse my 3 yr. old brother wouldn't think of giving! — The only thing left to do is for other students to expose them. It is interesting enough these wankers are too preoccupied with their egotistic mania to even apologise for their Hawkers sketch.

Drawing of the palm tree falling over

No one will disagree that WMSA is doing something — organising dances etc. but in view of the situation at home where many of our countrymen have suffered from government repression, when many of them are suffering from malnutrition, how can we go on enjoying ourselves dancing and indulging in our personal comfort without pangs of conscience? this what WMSA is doing now -misleading the people? I wouldn't want to domment but leave it for Asians to form their judgement.

Boiling Red.
