I would like to further add on "oil and vinegar" (it's a Chinese proverb, if you understand).

MFA now conducts fATPL. Which means one student pay RM300K! If they accept you, that means, they are earning <RM40K and sacrifice specially for you. So, unless, you gang up with 10 people and sign up a PPL package. Then, they might consider.

HM Aerospace is damn crazy! RM80K! Because of their reputation, they "jacked" their price up! I can tell you, they will not entertain you!

PPL course in Malaysia flying school takes donkey years! Only if you have good and dedicated flying instructor, he can push you faster. Believe me! Otherwise, it takes more than 10 months to get PPL in Malaysia flying school. I am not surprised it takes 1 year or more to complete!!!

Whenever, I met Malaysian students, I always gave them advice to fly in flying clubs, get their PPL first and then join flying academy. This way is much much faster! Cost effective and time saving. Otherwise, they are going to wait for years to complete their PPL in the school!

Singapore Flying Club is collapsing! Their destiny is once almost like Johor Flying Club. However, they managed to sustain. Singapore Flying Club once very competitive to the flying clubs in Johor. So, SFC members decided to leave and fly in Johor.

Now, members are joining one club, and on the other hand, the other club's owner "red-eyed" and lodged complaints to DCA. They are damn itchy backside, now, consequence is DCA restricted foreigners (in actual fact, aiming at Singaporeans ) and all flying clubs suffer. Who to be blamed?

Darshan Singh is always on leave. MC here and there. Just imagine, he is sick for so long and what if he is sick again while you are training?!

Also, your CAAS licence is restricted. No navigation!

PPL course? Hum...must it be Malaysia (DCAM) or Singapore (CAAS) PPL? The money you are going to spend in Malaysia or Singapore, is better well worth spending elsewhere to do.

If your ultimate goal is get a basic PPL, then, any country licence is not an issue. There are United States FAA, Australia CASA trained Singaporeans, just dig out slowly in this or other forum.

If you get foreign licence, you can still fly in Malaysia and Singapore. Furthermore, if you have FAA licence, there are U.S. 'N' registered plane available for rental in both Malaysia and Singapore.

Else if, join WOA. Post your queries. Kindly do not expect direct or fast answer.
