Smokin'

The beloved Dr. Mahathir jokes about how the MIGs Malaysia purchased during his term as Prime Minister are superior to the F-18s recently purchased, because the MIGs can bomb Singapore while the F-18s can’t. According to the educated doctor, it has something to do with America owning “the source code”.

Sure, the absurd insensitivity draws fire, but what astounds me is how he uses technical jargon like “source code”, but still calls MIGs M-I-Gs every single time he mentions them (imagine him saying s-c-u-b-a diving). Someone please send him a pirated copy of Top Gun.

Oh and Doctor, I don’t think airbases need to write extensive programs (aka source code) to make planes fly north to make drops.
