Just to let you know, the same requirement has been issued by DCA Malaysia, with a deadline of March 2008.
The Testing Panels will be Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia.
Will let you know about the costs (usually 50 Ringgit in your licence) oops sorry that's the traffic cop.

English Assessment
Someone in SA is not revealing the true facts and seems to want to make a quick buck.
The ICAO document describes the English assessment in 2 parts - is the candidate an English native speaker or not.
To qualify as an English native speaker one has to comply with the following :
Hold a passport from a country where English is the first OR one of the first languages
AND
have completed his/her secondary/tertiary education in institutions where English was a medium of instruction
OR
have been employed in a predominantley English speaking workplace.
If you satisfy the above the you are exempt from the assessment but you still need the assessor to assign you a level 6. If you do not comply with the above then one has to be assessed through the various stages.

The Official language of Malaysia is Bahasa Melayu, a derivative of Bahasa Indonesia. English is spoken and understood in all areas except the kampungs (dorps or rural villages).
Where English signs are displayed in public places the font size has to be less than 60% of that used for Bahasa.
I will follow up with DCA Malaysia on the point Kingpost brought up re the ICAO document.
Still have my GCE "O" Level Certificates for English Language and English Literature. DCA will probably want them translated into Bahasa and certified.
