I just got a FAA PPL. If you can, do get a FAA or CASA and don't waste time in Johor with those fly-by-night itchy backsides.
So what is good when it is cheap. You get crashes once in a while. FAA requires CFI and CFII to have CPL first. In Malaysia, AFI is through recommendation after 100 hours PIC. So you get one of the "influencing" guy to help you, then you get your AFI to do business. DCA needs to maintain safety and keep their country record clean. Bad elements come here to brag and boast about their club so you got to be careful of conman.
Capt MooTwo is waiting for something to happen, that's why he asks you to wait and wait. He is at the wrong place and wrong time too!
So instead of waiting, make a good decision and get your PPL.
