Mahathir: Bombing Singapore Joke

HardwareZone Forums reports that Youtube now has the video about Ex-Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed's joke on war using F-18s and Russian Migs.

...(the) MIGs are given, are sold to us without any condition, if you feel like bombing Singapore, for example, the Russians are not going to object.

[laughter]

Any Singaporeans here? Or ex-Singaporeans?

But this great aircraft called F-18, which we bought from America, after buying it, after several months, I got to know that this aircraft cannot be used for any attacks against any country, even if this is not Singapore.

Trackback from My Very Own Glob {Curiosa Felicitas}:

It’s comforting to know that no matter how objectionable one feels about one’s country’s senior statesmen’s statements, the neighbouring country’s senior statesmen always manage to trump ours. …(the) MIGs are given, ......

How mean.

"I am seriously the most humble person in the universe. My modesty is definitely unsurpassed."

don't get sucked into attacking him...it will be more painful if you dismiss his remarks as senile words.

Less painful, you mean?

You don't call him Mad Hatter for nothing. His comments are irrelevant, just like him. Even his countrymen aren't taking him seriously, so why should we?

Doesn't matter. Mahathir's soundbites are exactly like Malaysia's armed forces anyway. Pretty fucking redundant.

Hahah! That was a pretty funny video. You can only buy an F-18 for air-shows.

His attacks is not even on S'pore.

He is pointing at us while being sarcastic about USA and maybe even his own govt for being so useless that they din spot the catch of the arms deal with USA.

Well, the Mahathir regime did make the decision to purchase F/A-18s. It could simply have an all MiG-29N fleet. It's the regime's decision after all.

LOL!... Cute.

Trackback from Why you shouldn't buy F18s:

Ex-Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed gives the world a good reason why not to buy the American F18 Hornet fighter jet...

Come to think of it, Mahathir is really like our Old Lee, keeps talking crap about other countries.. But maybe that's why Old Lee is still in the Cabinet! Can you imagine him talking cock about Mini Lee when he retires? Nabei.. after all, cannot sue own father for defamation haha

I dunno whether to respect the guy or to diss the guy. I kinda equate him with a village idiot: bit of truth, all nonsense otherwise.

With the G5 artillery and ASTROS-II multiple rocket launchers that the Malaysian army possesses, they can bombard Singapore from any point in Johor. All of Singapore will be in range. Easily. Not much of a problem at all, really.

Why bother with F/A-18s?

very funny, no source codes? even collaborate development with european countries, US doesn't release its source codes.
what so if source codes given, are they capable to make use of it? pirate it to another country?

just like kenny sia... based on their unhappy experience in sg... developed some inferior complexity towards sg... the funny things is... they will nvr admit to it...

Is it even the REAL F-18s by the way? Probably all there is of the F-18s are empty cockpits... :P
