Mogambo.india, there are a lot of western expats in this region whose first language is not English. In fact, where I originally come from, we speak less English on a day to day basis than in India, since I believe English is one of your official languages (I do apologize if I'm incorrect in this statement).
Personally, I think there are a lot of incompetent people in this region, being Asian, Westerners etc. It really bothers me to know that some people are getting paid a lot of money for doing nothing. And btw, even Q1000 can be a lot of money if they are incompetent.
