The standard of students coming out of this academy is VERY low and MAS and Air Asia are finding they are not receiving QUALIFIED commercial pilots.
I find this comment highly insulting as I am a product of this academy, and so are hundreds of other MFA alumni (whose names you can take from the MFA homepage), who have now gone on to become industry leaders and not only with MAS but with other leading airlines. Do you think they would be so marketable if they were, as you hinted, unqualified and unsafe? Or are such airlines as Emirates or Cathay Pacific doing charity by taking in substandard Malaysian pilots?

Your views are your own, of course, but it comes off, as MASsenger put it, sour grapes, unless you can suggest a better flight school in Malaysia. Or even offer suggestions to improve the training. Comments such as accusing the principal of having no management skills and lying through his teeth won't make your arguments seem more valid.
