Not too sure if it applies to Malaysia.
But when I need to drive in New Zealand or States, I will get an international driving permit at AA (River Valley Road) before flying off. That international permit lasts for 1 year and costs ~20+. This post has been edited by Albeniz: Jul 24 2008, 08:16 PM |

Apply at AA, bring along when you in Malaysia driving a Malaysia car.
Some of their TP don't even know what that is...

As said above.
No need to convert. International licence is in addition to Sing licence. -------------------- There is no law without enforcement |

You cannot convert your Sg driving licence to an international one but you can apply for an international driving permit when u want to drive overseas. with a Sg driving licence, you can drive in My without the need for an international driving permit. I asked AA Singapore this question and here is what they told me.
1. A Singaporean / PR with a Singapore driving license may drive a Singapore registered car in Singapore and Malaysia 2. He can also drive a Malaysian registered car in Malaysia as a tourist 3. He however cannot drive a Malaysian registered car in Singapore at any time. |

I think it is best that we have an official answer from the Malaysian authorities.. since their policies can change anytime..
But nevertheless, good piece of information.. -------------------- Cheers Ben |

but last time (10 over yrs ago), i had an accident with a singaporean. I was in the wrong and i admit it in the court. however, my insurance doesnt pay to the other party cos he is holding a singaporean license, driving Malaysian car. The lawyer said he is consider driving without a license cos he can only drive Singaporean car in Malaysia
 ... the bloody case drag for 7 to 8 yrs....

I have an email from JPJ and AA Malaysia, saying Singaporean holding SG licence is allowed to drive Malaysia registered car in malaysia with the same class of vehicle, provided there is insurance coverage. I got it about 6 months ago...so it should be correct.

agreed. If not, how to rent cars over at m'sia. Most imptly, rent from proper rental firms where there is insurance.
