    Greetings,

    This question might be a bit out of topic but if anyone could be in assistance, that would be great.

    What if i already have a fork lift license from South Korea and i want to change it to Malaysian “F” license. Is this possible? Do i need to take extra tests again in Malaysia

    Thank you in advance.

      As per rules of conversion of foreign licenses here, no reason your forklift license cannot be used here.
