ATIS KUL and SZB

Hi Veloo, sorry for a bit out of topic. I want to highlight this issue for quite some time. Why ATIS KUL and SZB not updated on time? Most of the airports the ATIS will be updated exactly or one to two minutes pass the 00/30 minute. For example if I tune to Hong Kong's ATIS freq at 0103 UTC I will get the latest weather. But not at KUL and SZB. Imagine we need to tune multiple times to ATIS frequency just to get the latest weather update while we are doing an approach. This is a flight safety hazard as both pilots are needed to concentrate on flying and monitor RT during this crictical part of flight.
