CaptJNS this is not personal but please restrain yourself from making general comments about a whole country based on a few incidents or your perception from years back when you may or may not have worked here.
We may not have the best record but our ATC is not so shoddy that clearances are not required/given here.
And not all accident/incident investigations are fudged.
Again, Dont take it personally but none of us like to hear slurs about our country on a public forum. Remember no country or system is perfect and all have their faults.
