Is it just me or does this event mirror Air Asia X's effort up at the Gold Coast?

Two Asian Airlines who separately turn inbound and dive down to the minima.

So the question to ask are NPA approaches in Asia written differently?

What on earth would make these guys think they can just intercept final and dive down to 4-500 feet AGL?

If it keeps happening like this someone is going to plough into a hill or building.

Why didn't either of them descend in VNAV or VS?

Why on earth does Australia have such lack of infrastructure at International airports?
