THE Malaysian prime minister's car stalled on the highway with a flat tyre while on way to the airport after an annual Asian summit, forcing him to get into a security escort car to continue his journey, an official said.

 

The incident happened on Wednesday, just a few kilometres before the international airport in Singapore from where Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi caught a flight back home, the official said on Thursday.

 

The BMW sedan carrying Mr Abdullah and his wife, Jeanne, was forced to pull up on the side of the highway because of the flat tyre.

 

There was no backup limousine and Mr Abdullah and his wife had to get into a bodyguards' car, said the official, speaking on customary condition of anonymity.

 

The prime minister reached the airport and there was no delay in his flight, he said, though the Malaysian foreign ministry was slightly peeved.

Wah tire puncture makes Malaysia Peeved!

 

I always assume the 7 series got run-flat tires?

Seems I am wrong.

 

So which BMW got run-flat in Singapore?

All got RFTs except the M cars. Your daddy's M3 should be normal tires lah. Unless he changed them to RFTs lor

not too sure about my father's car tires.

 

Are you sure all BMW in singapore got RFT?

 

Then why Abdullah's car got flat tire problem?

Could it be that RFT tire top speed is 80km/hr, but Abdullah likes to travel at >80km/hr speed, so feel no shiok in a slow 7-series and change to his bodyguard car?

OR maybe they scared its a real terrorist issue and best to change to a 'safer' car immediately?

[Porker]

Of course I'm sure. All BMWs except M cars are equipped with RFTs
