Salient. Official Newspaper of Victoria University of Wellington Students Association. Vol 40 No. 26. October 3 1977

Dear Editor,

As part of the campaign to save the life of 14 yr old Lin Hiang Seoh, I would like to dedicate the following lines to those who have a little conscience.

Action Now
Do you think
I don't want to speak out?
Do you think
I don't want to rebel?

Why in our 'democratic' nation
We can't voice our opinions
And exercise our basic human rights?

Now I see
A 14 yr old innocent boy
Handcuffed to the Court
And I hear
The heartless judge give his verdict—
Death!

How it shocks the workd!
Our people's hearts shatter
The death spell unfolds upon us
For the sake of our beloved people
And our future generations
Let's act now or never!

Yours,

"Terrorised".
