Mahathir - Bombing Singapore

Institute of Economic and Political Studies (Ikape)
Current Issues in Malaysian Politics
December 2005

I want to tell you, we had wanted to buy Russian MiGs (fighter planes). You know Russians, they are very inferior. Somehow or other, it was wangled without my knowledge, that part of the money (only to be used to purchase MiGs was also used) to buy (the American made) F-18 (planes). The very good American aircraft costs twice as much as the MiGs. And then, we acquired eight F-18s and 18 MiGs. MiGs are sold to us without any condition. If we feel like bombing Singapore, for example, the Russians are not going to object. 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 these aircraft cannot be used for any attacks against any country even if it is not Singapore, because the Americans sold the aircraft, but the source code is kept by them. So you cannot plan anything, you cannot fly them to carry out any bombing attacks against anybody but you have this wonderful aircraft which you can see at Lima (the Langkawi International Maritime and Aviation Exhibition). So, we spent this huge sum of money and they actually negotiated and agreed to these terms.

So that's why I say we are not very good at negotiating.

The last time u check Spore life X is still superior but that number had to be maintain by lumping PRs, new citizens health to make it look sweet.

While u live longer by a few short years, others have many times more babies and young generation to replace them.

But in the case of Spore...when their life is over, foreigners replace them. Foreigners flock to Spore to help you look younger.

It is ur silly ranking to admire at.

@165165412 ,

If others do not come pouring in, ur ministers will have a heart attack and the economy collapse.

There were more PRs in Spore than citizenship. And most of this PRs know that they will suffer hardship if they become Spore citizen. Thats why they remain PRs all their life. For them it is a stupid decision, just harvest the riches and live in a more pristine home outside Spore.

Do you see, even Sporeans are running away from their country..numbers that outperform others.

@165165412 ,

Spore offer "quality of life"? Are u crazy. Foreign workers come here for job. Jobs that rob of Sporeans pocket. They were invited here to fill-up ur ministers pocket. To jack up the economy and another round of ministers pay hike.

What kind of quality u got with congested city, more third world workers than local itself, more concrete than pristine natural beauty?

Do yo have world tallest mega building, world heritage sites, world class beaches..etc.??

Just a bunch of jokers.

@Porepura

You said: “Borrowed other citizens' health to boost their life X.”

Last time, I check Singapore life expectancy is still superior to m’sian ones, if Malaysians are so healthy and live longer life than Singaporeans, why don’t you lots stay in your own country then?? Maybe you lots flock into Singapore for longer life span?? you're brainless, your existence is such a waste of space and oxygen to society.

@Porepura

Wooow you are really that much worthless in brain power than i initially thought. If Singapore doesnt offer the kind of quality of life to you lots of lower breed, why would you lots keep pouring into our tiny city like virus? If your country is so good why leave and seek citizenship in tiny Singapore? If spo politicians are clowns, how come Singapore outscore and outperform you clownass third world shithole in just about every aspects and every fields you spastic? You're a failure.

What did Spore says about n. korea leader? Old fabby chap was what ur baggy eyebags LKY commented about them. There are plenty more funny things said about others but simply brush aside as "coctail gossip" by ur former foreign minister George Yeo.

Wah! U see, in front of those leaders Spore politicians and ambassador behave like angels but on their ass your tiny city state leders are jokers, a bunch of clowns.

Did not I prove my pts here while u can only lambast blank fireworks.

@trinex7 ,

Did Malaysia fail? Never does it fail here unless ur brain gotten brainwashed. Spore already shown sign of failures. Their own citizens slowly being replace by foreigners and third world workers. And Spore already show signs of desperation..calling gamblers, sex maniacs, drunkarks to come here and hail them as good tourist. Is that the kind of tourism you want it to be in Spore?

Sadly as competition get tougher. Spore need go deeper. What NEXT?

NAKED CITY?

@165165412 ,

Haha, what so important about life X (not lifespan) of urs against a city who cannot even produce babies. Despite govt promotions such as sexpo and sex education, why lesser babies? It that too hard for ur albino brain to understand? Isn't this one example of failure.

No!! in fact the tiny Spore citizens register one of the top migraters in the world. Did I say "citizens keep flocking to Spore"? Where the hell u get that.

Don't fire blanks ,huh. Thats a loser attitude.
