MM Online - Fewer critics if I had said ‘aeromobile’ instead of ‘flying car’, minister says (extracts)
YB Kipas-KDK said, “I was amazed at the whole response to the phrase ‘flying car’, not for the lack of people supporting it, but if I used words like 'aeromobile' or 'aerocar', I see an entirely different reaction.
“When I say flying car, it stimulates the brains of even less educated people as they start wondering what is flying car and in what context. With this feedback, we can measure the level of mentality in our society.\
Wakakaka, he's telling you he's at an intellectual level compared to the brains of even less educated people.
When Mohd Redzuan first announced the government’s ambition to pursue flying vehicle technology in February, Malaysians made fun of the “flying car” project on social media and expressed scepticism.
Many jumped the gun and failed to understand the government's endorsement of the project when the phrase “flying car” was used.
What does 'flying car' mean to you?
It was later revealed that the government’s endorsement of the privately funded “flying car” project was aimed at developing human capital.
Redzuan pointed out that getting involved in the production of a flying car will keep Malaysia abreast with the world’s development.
Wakakaka, bloke's now virtually saying 'flying car' means developing human capital and abreast with world' development, or words to that effect.

Sneaky Snake trying to wriggle out of his idiotic boast. Yes, that Kipas-KDK menteri.
In a way, I sympathise with the man, clumsy as he is.
ReplyDeleteAutonomous electric vertical takeoff and landing (AeVTOL) craft, as they are known in countries where netizens don't engage in such self-loathing like in Malaysia.
They have had rave reviews for their propotypes, and many consider them part of the next frontier for passenger and light goods transportation.
Both China and US have shown that this technology does not necessarily require massive capital investments like conventional cars, so the potential for disruption from newcomers, not necessarily 1st World Countries, is large.
China's DJI has a huge research project backing the AeVTOL.
Of course, they are today a giant company, but don't forget DJI actually originally started out as a 1-factory SME.
So Menteri, do what your Ministry can to support and facilitate the Malaysian private entrepreneurs and engineers attempting this AeVTOL , keep taxpayer funds out of it, and forget about Race and Religion - let the best Malaysian talent of whatever skin colour work on it.
Don't only depend on selling palm oil, rubber and screwdriver electronics exports.
Wakakakakaka
ReplyDeleteI think it was the traumatic experience of most Malaysians who have experienced owning/driving a Malaysian made car which don't fly yet over the past nearly 4 decades which is why the sudden outburst of horror/critics/sniggles/memes against the Minister on the suggestion of a flying car or aerocar or aeromobile or whatever name so long as it flies in the air instead of on the roads.
Most must be fearful of being traumatised again thinking " If you can't get a totally dependable overpriced car driven on the roads in good working condition, what makes the Minister so sure that another Airbus priced, Made in Malaysia car this time in the air is dependable?"
It sure would take a long time to overcome their trauma of owning a Made in Malaysia car whether on the road or in the air.
Perhaps, to ease the trauma, the Minister could suggest only Made in Malaysia aerocars/aeromobiles will also come equipped with parachutes besides air-bags.
Wouldn't it be even better if the Minister suggest aerobikes or aerolorries or aerobuses instead of aerocars to reduce accidents on the roads.
