No idea, but I bought a new car and drove in Kuala Lumpur for seven years and only used my UK drivers license. I did later get an IDP but on the rare occasions that I was stopped by the police I just showed them my UK drivers license. You might also try asking your question on some Expat Facebook groups in Malaysia as I am sure there are many American expats in many of those groups.

@paddelia1 I'm guessing links to other expat forums are banned, but Google this: britishexpats Suspension Of Conversion of Foreign Driving Licence to Malaysia Driving Licence

It's a long thread, but has all the information you should require.

Hello @paddelia1 ,

You may go through the Driving in Malaysia article to gather as much information as possible.

I think this excerpt says it all.

"Alternatively, they are advised to apply for Malaysia driving licence via authorized driving schools based on existing procedures."

Gunnar45 mentioned "United Nation Conference on Road and Motor Transport, Geneva, 1949 & 1968". that allows driving with the home country licence. US is a signatory.

This looks like is what wyngrove60 is doing, perfectly legal then to use my US driver licence beyond the initial 90 days.

I am still not 100% sure since this seems to be a moving target.

@paddelia1 There's a lack of clarity around the requirements, to say the least. At minimum, I would prefer to be in possession of an IDP in addition to my home country driving license. Most cops may accept the latter alone, but if you meet a stickler for the rules, or get in an accident and the insurance company starts digging, you could be in trouble.

The first video is detailed and tallies with my experience. The second covers the case where your foreign license is issued by a country where you are not a citizen.

Hi Cobolin, thanks for that. This is great information.
