Question

Oakape, you said:

The normal briefing techniques & FMC or MCDU cross-checking are glossed over or completely ignored to save time.

You're joking!! I'm not blaming you, but if this is the type of sim training you are getting, then its is no wonder this incident occurred at Tiger. I have not flown this particular approach, but looking at the charts there is absolutely no doubt that the min level is 2500ft. If the FMGC says differently, it is wrong, and should therefore be disregarded. Their nav department should be advised accordingly.

It would appear that there are some serious failings in Tigers' training and CASA is quite right to step in and deal with this. Its about time regulators took such matters seriously and acted upon them.
