if you are holder of a foreign licence (case of a lot of Flight Instructors in Malaysia), they are authorised to work in Malaysia on a restricted licence (after few conversion modules), but if you want to fly in an Airlines in Malaysia, you must do a whole conversion. during the time they use the malaysian licence, the validity of their original licence is not maintained and depending on National regulations it can be difficult to maintain current the foreign licence!!!
Also, there is an example of an important Dato's son, (Dato very involved deeply in aviation training): this young guy has been trained in Europe (Oxford) but when coming back has been obliged to re-do nearly all the Ground School before joining a Malaysian Airline
long re-training, pesting....
