Hi guys,

Is it technically legal to drive a Msian registered car in MY other than a rented car with our Spore license? Any consequences on the car insurance coverage or with the authorities there (if kena road block)?

Should be not a problem. Just like letting a foreigner friend drive your car here. As long there is a valid license, your insurance will also cover.

I have been stopped a number of times in MY driving MY pickup truck.

No issue except our license has no expiry date.

Need to explain to police only.

I don't speak that language.

It is normal to be stopped by police if you are driving a pickup truck.

If not rental car, more for the pte owner of the msian car to worry abt it

If sg lesen was an issue to drive in bolehland, causeway & 2nd link would have been ghost towns decades ago....

Can drive MY cars in MY with SG License but not MY car in Singapore. 

To play safe, apply an International License (about $25 for 1 year) and can drive in many countries. Application only takes 30 minutes at Automobile Association, AMK Central, opposite AMK HUB, former AMK Bowling Centre cum Macdonald's (now converted to coffee shop) at level 2

If not hard time talking & explaining to the Malaysian TP who their minds is kosong but "kopi lui". They can blah blah blah that is this MY and should follow their rules. 

Worst still if you cannot speak & understand malays and they pretend not to understand English. Thereafter, you will be brought to a police station and time wasting there. So you want to waste time (minimum 3 hrs) or just give under-table money. [sly]

Apply International License and chop chop, you on your way without any fear ... [drivingcar]

the IDP is merely a translation of your home license to foreign languages. It's not technically a driving licence. 

crooked cops who are looking for kopi money won't recognize it if they play punk and refuse to recognize your legally accepted SG licence. 

i've been stopped in Msia by an opportunistic polis and he said my SG licence not recognized in Msia, and that i need a Msian licence. I laughed and told him to go make money at the customs exit.

You very lucky that they never bring you to a police station (usually in a remote village small police stn & not the main station) and keep you there for hours. ( In the 90's, I experienced that myself but released within an hour due to some connection with their higher bosses [lipsrsealed] ) 

After few hours, they release you and says they checked and make a mistake but you already spend few hours in the station.

LL have to accept it and leave quietly. Make noises, you can be detained up to 7 days.... :lll._.:

That's the different with SG & MY police.

Non-criminal offence in SG can detain up to 24 hrs and "release not amounting to acquittal". Criminal offence is up to 48 hrs and release on bail or charge court.

In MY, up to 7 days and for criminal offences - can't smell release dates. Their court cases can drag for several years.... :slow:
