You are absolutely right. FTOs from Australia, India, China and even Japan have been making overtures to Malaysian clubs and schools in the last few years. DCA just cannot see the benefit to themselves and GA in Malaysia to seize the opportunity. Latest I've heard is that the Kota Baru academy is setting up a flying club to cater to predominantly foreign clientele. They will be attracting the last few PPL Instructors left in the country with very attractive pay package. If this happens, you can say adios to every other flying club left in Malaysia.
