Importing a motorcycle to Malaysia by myfundas

Can anyone advise what is the procedure for importing a motor cycle into Malaysia. Do you require an AP and is the process similar as for cars or more simplified?

If your licence is in English like mine is, having a another paper one with wording in various languages like Spanish, French etc isn't really relevant. The cops here should be able to read English, no? Read More

Internet service by tullimoin

Can anyone recommend an internet service and what sort of charges I might expect? I would love to get a bundle for all services such as TV, Phone, Internet etc. All included.

Mike

I've got Unify for TV, phone and internet, RM149/m. Its the most basic package which is still expensive compared to what I had in the UK bearing in mind that there are hardly any tv channels worth watching. Anything watchable, you have to pay extra ... Read More
