Relac lah mate. When some of them laughed at us for our accidents, we buay song them.. Now u sure u wanna laugh at them?
-
Not much point laughing... given their level of "professionalism" it is not really funny, nor surprising, that this sort of thing happens, it is kinda expected.
The reason they laugh at us is because they have already unknowingly conceeded the notion that our armed forces are superior in conduct and quality to them, and hence will make a big hoo-ha when we slip up. -
something like they know we are of standard, then they will watch for any single mistake....Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:Not much point laughing... given their level of "professionalism" it is not really funny, nor surprising, that this sort of thing happens, it is kinda expected.

In case you don't know idwar is a famous malaysian bastard over at Speaker's Corner whos been trying to get Singapore to declare war on Indonesia. One can only imagine what further wet dreams he has for us...
You want proof? I got proof...
RSS Persistence aacident:Tu la pasal Jbon, aku tak kisah sangat PSK project defence might dia. Inferiority complex beb. Equipment je canggih tak jamin you can win the war.
SGT Hu's death:
RSN = Ready to be Sinked Navy OR
Reckless Spectacled and Naive
RSAF = Ready to Surrender immediately After Flight OR
Reckless Spectacled Always Fucked upThese NS guys have been watching too many American commando movies.
LTA Loo's death (by some FlankerMKM fellow at BATM forums):
RSS Courageous accident (at Fighter Planes General forums, since deleted by mods):
And the random quip here and there about how RSN ships are defeated by container ships and how RSN personel are so blur that they allow their ships to get rammed, all the time gloating over the deaths of our 4 servicewomen.
Well, two can play that game, you malaysian chee byes.
There's more, but searching for them leaves a foul taste in my mouth.
If you kutuk us we can kutuk you too -
I propose just to make idwar look all the more incredible and silly, we should all refrain from making fun of this incident, proving that he is the sole occupant at his level that nobody bothers to swoop to. Only he is that immature

Mig pilot found alive in plantation 15km from the crash site.
Thank goodness he lives.
Initial report say engine was on fire.
All Migs are now grounded. -
heh engine fire er?maybe ate a bird or some loose fuel line
-
the fire must have been really bad toforce the landing of a twin engine craft....anyway i agree with singaporet-rex..m'sia may laugh at us when we got accidents, but when they got accidents, we shuld'nt laugh back, or else we'd be no better than them
-
Can anybody fly MiGs or SUs and not let them crash more often then French/UK/US aircraft?
How do the Indians do and the Germans do? Not sure if Germany still has the MiG-29... -
Are we assured that during combat, all Migs will be on fire? I think...yes...

Malaysian airforce plane crash kills two
KUALA LUMPUR : A trainee pilot and his instructor in a Royal Malaysia Airforce plane were killed on Thursday when their Pilatus PC-7 crashed shortly after takeoff, the official Bernama news agency reported.
The two-seater aircraft came down in a paddy field three minutes after taking off from the airforce college in Kepala Batas in the northwestern state of Penang, college commandant Colonel Ahmad Anuar Ahmad told Bernama.
"The instructor, a major, was in his 30s and married while the trainee, a lieutenant, was a bachelor," he said, without giving details.
This is the 10th crash of the airforce's PC-7 trainers since 1991 and brings to nine the number of pilots killed, the New Straits Times reported in its online edition. - AFP
