Dear Cikgu Yap,

I’m a student currently studying in Japan and I’m considering to apply for an international license. I’m aware that it is possible to have someone else help me renew an IDL on my behalf. Is it possible to do the same for when i first apply it? or must i do it in person?

In reply to Summer. Your Malaysian license has become null and void. You can use your Singapore license to convert it into Malaysian license though. JPJ correct, you can use Singapore license to drive in Malaysia. You can use Singapore license to buy a Malaysian registered car too. But you'll have to remember, the Singapore government I think charges $20 - 25 per day for Malaysian registered car used in Singapore.

Hi Expert, I have a big problem here, even the JPJ can’t give me a definate answer., please help.

I’m a Malaysian but my Malaysia license been expired more than 3 years, however, I’m holding Singapore license at the moment. JPJ said I can drive in Malaysia with Singapore license, is that true?

According to the JPJ officer, I’m not allowed to renew my malaysia license since it’s expired for more than 3 years. What should I do?

One more question. Can I use my Singapore license to buy a malaysian car?

Thanks!!!
