If you are a Malaysian, you are most welcome to do flight training in flying clubs. Restriction for foreigners.

If you are a non-Malaysian, sorry to say, no such thing! Bull****!

I suppose, you do not know anything at all! What "based in estimates of current students", these are nonsense.

There is this flying club in Senai, always complaining to DCA that foreigners (majority are Singaporeans) are flying in Johor. I am not going to mention which club. Because of this reason, DCA was so fed up that "block" neighbouring foreigners from flying in Malaysia. So as to say, this is act of the flying flub (his and her) itchy backside. Now, both of you see, why no business for all flying clubs till now! Dead silence like funeral!
