Veloo. I'm aware of the constraint with regards to the airspace over the South China Sea and the East Coast sector. If the problem is not the equipments and not the human factor, then it is the poilitical will. After 50 years of Merdeka and Malaysia not even control the airspace within 50 nm from its coastline (over South China Sea), then susah lah.

Almost 25 years ago, Hong Kong do control most part of South China Sea, north of what SIN control. Today we see SANYA control some, and Ho Chi Minh control some. As the aviation progress, we also move forward. Sitting down and telling the whole world of our constraint doesn't help.

P.S. noted with thanks. hope I can visit you and one of my ex-school mate at the center there one day.
