Hi everyone, 　I'll stay in Malaysia for four months. I wonder if I could drive here with foreign Driver's license ? I google it and it says that if I have ''certified'' driver's license then I　can drive for three months. I am not sure what it means. I have both driver's licenses from California and China. So one in English and the other in Chinese. But I don't know what can be called ''certified".

Thanks

Get international driving license from your country before you come here !
Keep that temporary international license with your American driving license .
This is the legal way to drive internationally
In simple and short story certified D license 😎

Have you ever checked
by local police during driving
👮 ?
I don't think so 😬
Coz
With license driver needs to must have international license issued by same country which holder has main Driving license .
But in some countries situation is different
like USA and Canada for example
Both countries citizens can drive without having international license in each other countries
