Conservative Elements in MSA be Eradicated

Conservative Elements in MSA be Eradicated

Dear Sir,

In view of the AGM of MSA last Saturday there seems to be a growing force who are looking forward for a change in its leadership. Though lost in the election, the spirit lingers on. To quote from its manifesto: "No student with conscience can ignore and avoid political issues that are of direct concern to us

The other force (an integrating body of the last committee) came into office with the assistance of a handful of conservative elements. These elements though they claim to be aware of the injustices back home, are not prepared to do anything or show any moral support unless pressure builds up in its members. These elements have no initiative in doing constructive things unless to cool down the discontents of the students. What a malicious plot to cover up the truth so as to baffle the fore-going student movement.

I suggest to all Malaysians to think twice before making any final decisions in agreement with these elements.

As a matter of fact, these stumbling blocks must one day be exposed and diminished in conjunction with the awareness of the students. Truth can no longer be deceived or hidden. There is a saying. "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool most of the people most of the time."
