contact AAS (www.aas.com.sg) - I think they are the only authority to issue international driving permit in singapore. hope this helps.

Correct me if i'm wrong our license is already International when we drive in Commonwealth countries like Malaysia,UK,Australia etc?Cause sometimes i would drive my mum-in law car in Malaysia.Even got stop at road blocks before but so far its ok.

You can use your SG license to drive a MY plate car in Malaysia. That is allowed. Imagine if you're renting a car in Malaysia with your SG license say from Hertz, it's still MY plate right?

 

However, you are NOT ALLOWED to use your SG license to drive a MY plate car inside Singapore.

i think the rule is :

sg licence cannot drive MY plate car

my licence cannot drive sg plate car

due to insurance issue.

but it is ok for rented cars as the insurance is bought under u when u hire the car.

if it is allowed then why so many MY licence need to convert to sg licence before they are allowed to drive sg plate car in singapore?

MY license can drive in SG (any car plate, even SG plate) for the first year here by the way. SG license can't drive MY cars in SG is because they don't want people here to bypass buying SG cars.

If they're in dark blue uniform, they should be JPJ... the road transport department officers (like LTA here). TP is white, normal police is dark blue but different shade, and carries gun/cuffs. JPJ officers normally check on lorries, cars with illegal modifications including dark tint.

Hi, can a Singaporean with International Driving License drive a Malaysian car in Singapore?

[Kangadrool]

as long as your are SC or SPR, no way to drive MY registered car in SG though there's exception which is limited to number of entries and company letter to proof that you are working in MY on long term basis. Has nothing to do with International Driving Permit (not licence).

If you really think like that, u were so lucky they never caught u. If not, u were get court. Because you SG driving license is not international license. Even you ask the SG TP, they also not recognize the SG license is international license

SG licence is still valid if travel to those countries, if not those car rental company won't dare to rent car to tourist.
