Nope, A1 in SPM is not evidence to show one is good in English. In fact, so many students got A1 but could not actually speak fluently and write good English. SPM's English is basic. It's easy and it's all text book. I also got A1 (plus with a B in SPM's O level) but when I took an English class, read a grammar book, took the TOEFL exam, and read some questions from SAT papers (a.k.a SPM for Americans), boy was I struggling. Our SPM English is like what a 10 year old or younger would learn in America or Britain.
It was just an advice from a fellow forumer to another. You're free to talk however you like. You know your own level of English. It's just that, to some of us who don't know you personally or your level of English, talking like that gives us the impression that you can't talk English properly. And this being a Qatar Airlines thread, an international airline, their requirement for English might be higher than MAS or AirAsia.
Thank you for the info daouz_86, and good luck to whoever is going for it!
