Suara Siswa vs Suara Ra'ayat

I refer to the article entitled 'A review of MSA's Suara Siswa' published in your last issue of Salient. Its writer makes a blatant and unfair criticism of the editorial in Suara Siswa as being a piece of "sheer bloody bullshit". The use of language was disgusting and the sincerity of his intention doubtful.

The MSA publication committee always welcomes criticisms — provided they are both mutual and constructive. If the writer has any idea as to what should be done, there is always room for suggestions. A barrage of destructive attacks achieves nothing. If he maintains that MSA has political inclination or is somebody's puppet under the present committee, let's see him campaigning for the association's presidency this coming September. An, arm-chair critic (protesting anonymously under the style of 'Suara Ra'yat') commands no respect.

Finally his criticism on the contents of Suara Siswa is unworthy of even a comment, challenge that he come forward to prove his points.
