Hi,

Can any one help me out with the procedure to get a license here in penang/malaysia. I currently hold a Indian and a US license. I don't have a IDL with me. I would be staying here for 1 year or so. I read at this link jpj.gov.my/web/eng/acceptance-of-foreign-driving-license that you can drive on indian/ us license here but can I use the same for buying a car ? and the link mentions about a letter, where do i get that from ? Your help is appreciated.

Thanks

If I change my UK Driving license to a Malaysian one will it give me the L license to ride a 250cc motorcycle as the same as I can in the UK without having to take this part of the test.
