Obtaining Malaysia Driver License as an expat (from America)

potbellypig

Has anyone from the US obtained a Malaysian driver license (CDL)?


If so, did you have to pass the written and driving exams

or

just simply convert your US driver license into Malaysian CDL?

I'm actually a little surprised that Malaysia allows us Americans to obtain driver's license without passing driving tests considering that we drive on the opposite side of the roads.

Not to change the subject but a local told me to get warmed up to the idea of using bribery (when you can) to get things done.  It is, what it is....
