Yes of course, I salute ur spirit. No SIA does not mean the end of one's aviation career or dream.
If u do a PPL at a flying club first and then join a flying sch, the sch MAY charge u for PPL again or if not, reject u. Aviation is crazy among teens in msia now and hordes are queueing up, so why wld the schs settle for less $ when they can get more?
Hmm...and I wouldn't advise a part time kind of course, it's difficult to fit one into the sch's flying and ground sch schedule. Well, I'm no expert on this and perhaps other chaps here can help.
