As long as u hav a singapore driving licence, u can drive in Malaysia

U can drive a Singapore car or a Malaysia car, no problem.

Next question? Very Happy

tetsumi SG

oooo... thanks a lot!
cos gonna go up north drive drive around a bit wif my buddies b4 we enlist for NS, catch up on old times... most like driving to kukup oso.

that time dunno who told me have to do a $20 convertion to my license at Automobile Association... Evil or Very Mad
then make me now blur blur...

johncooper SG

The conversion is for the LHD license i heard .. and for the international ones .... but if you are driving to M'sia its safe to drive in a herd then alone .... if you are like going with one car it is advisable to rent ... try their Waja ... its not bad for a m'sian car ... or their M'sian Camry ...

tetsumi SG

wah... wat is LHD?
wat u mean for LHD n for international ones?
i catch no balls lehz...

i will be going wif 3 of my frens, we 4 share rent 1 car.
camry lehz... budget a bit lahz.. haha...

Ghee SG

actually our licence is recognised in most commonwealth countries... and US too.... but before you go, can check with the local rental car agent through the net.... I did it when renting in Australia... but if u want extra safe can convert your licence to an international one.... Very Happy

tetsumi SG

the verdict is out!
i called up TP, then they refer me to AA.
AA told me i have to convert my license, $20 for the convertion,
need to bring IC, license, 2 passport sized photos.
btw... for those still under 1 yr probation, no need to hang the xia suay malu P-plate in ur car in malaysia.. LoL!
enjoy! Mr. Green

Actually…not reccomended to drive SGP plate cars in…..those TPs like 2 victimise us…and the locals too….our cars are a target for thieves rather than their own local cars

Ghee SG

The thefts also target malaysian cars as well....look at malaysian forum.... the owner there also actively looking into ways to prevent themselves becoming the target....

The police there....I agree.... we are always ready target..... but now...better dun give coffee $$$....may get u into deeper sh*t...

tiggersgd SG

Rolling Eyes i have driven to KL for quite a number of times...what u said...i really dun know. but overall it is still safe to drive there. just be careful. that's all.

AE86tofu SG

depends on wad kind of car also....Currently they like to target MPvs and SUVs....

tetsumi SG

haha.. that's y my frens n i r going over there to rent a Proton!
haha.. maybe a wira or saga ba... if budget more then maybe go try for waja. hear that it's gd...
my bro drove the 2 litres waja b4... he say the engine damn responsive n powerful sia... dunno how true is that.
proton lehz... a bit condemn by many pple.. LoL! Mr. Green
but i dun really condemn proton lahz... they quite value for $$.
