A True Picture

A True Picture

Dear Sirs,

Otago University Chinese Language Club's Fastern Cultural Concert revealed the Malaysian society at its worst — that of the rich exploiting the poor. That's the bad side of Malaysia.

MSA's Cultural Exhibition, on the other hand, showed nothing but the progressive side of Malaysia.

I would have thought that together they painted one true picture of my nation. Each standing alone would have been insufficient. So, what is all the fuss at campus? Both the Chinese Language Club and MSA have earned much criticism. MSSA, the running dog of Peter Wilson and the puppet of Singapore High Commision, escaped criticism by doing nothing cultural. Is this what the Malaysians and Kiwi want? The politics of "nothingness"?

Yours sincerely,

Middle-class Malaysian
