yes. they gonna pay the type rating for you.. if they found you good enough to work with them.
usually a cadet pilot will have to sign up to 15 year service bond. type rating pilot maybe just 3-5 years. depends on equipment.

If you are a Malaysian citizen and wants to work in Malaysia it's not gonna make a big difference where you do your training. If you're not Malaysian, then don't bother getting a Malaysian license as it won't be worth much outside Malaysia unless you have 10000 hrs jet.
I don't know anything about the new school in Bintulu, but MFA, HMA and APFT are NOT impressive training organizations. MFA is a mess due to the principal being a 3000 year old Indian who has no clue about training standards, management etc, but yet he wants to control everything.
HMA has better equipment, overall nice setup, but again not managed very well. They have far too many students which means lower standards.
APFT is also a messy operation, and you have to stay away from a few evil people there
Maybe check out the school in Ipoh, don't have any info.
Of MFA, HMA and APFT, I would probably choose HMA as I think their future is more bright, but in the end it won't make a big difference. Just remember, that if you do flight training in Malaysia you'll have to have lots of self-dicipline to study a lot on your own as there are generally way too many students compared to instructors, and the overall standards are quite low.

Thanks for the reply
And yes I am Malaysian, just that I have spent many years away from Malaysia. I am hoping to return, get my license, and try my best to get a job flying in Malaysia.
I dont expect it to be easy but at least I'll be able to make a more informed decision now.
Thanks

Go Abroad
I know fist hand..most of HMA & MFA ground and flight instructors are good but the Management are a bunch of crooks and esp in HMA..no one has the guts to do or say anything against them cuz they land up driving taxi's the next day. Overall expect to be dissapointed and cheated of your dad's hard earned cash!
My advice, go abroad and return and do a conversion.
All schools are backed up and you can expect nothing less then 2 to 3 years to complete ATPL locally.
Good luck!.
