MSA Conspiracy?

MSA Conspiracy?

Dear Sir,

I am dismayed and appalled at the number of pro-Malaysian Government letters appearing in the last issue of Salient. It appears to me that there is a great deal of political manipulation of overseas students by the Malaysian High Commission, and that the latest flood of fascist and defamatory nonsense is an indication of this. I cannot see how a dozen unrelated Malaysians suddenly get up and violently attack Robert Pui without MSA's nose being in there somewhere. Not that I am criticising each and every member of MSA — on the contrary I know quite a few good, if conservative men, who are high up in the organisation. What I am criticising are the completely unwarranted slurs on the character of Robert Pui, who is a man fighting for an honourable and worthy cause, a cause that needs help, not condemnation. I exhort every student, local or overseas, to join Robert in his fight for freedom and democracy.
