I went to Simpang several times when I was on the Group EU and we did our annual visit to the RMAF. Simpang was fine for the Caribou but for the C130 the TOW had to be considerably reduced. The joke was that as well as consulting the ODM you needed also to consult the railway timetable !
They had a flying club there and it was very nice to sit and have a wind down beer after a busy day.
