have you guys try to get a DCA PPL then convert back to CAAS PPL, from what i heard the CAAS lic is really useless unless u want to join SQ,and wat u need to do for the convertion is just get the medical,then take the Air Law and the flight test. so maybe Johor is a better and cheaper option,btw i got my PPL there and still have fun of flying to different place in MY.
