I am reaching out to seek your advice regarding driving in Malaysia with my Indian driving license. I currently hold a valid Indian driving license for both a motorcycle and a car, along with a Driving License Extract that has been signed by the RTO.
I recently visited the JPJ office in Wangsa Maju, KL, to convert my Indian driving license to a Malaysian one. Since I'm working in Malaysia KL, I was informed by a JPJ officer that I must wait for one year since my Indian driving license is not yet a year old.I have been considering several options after discussing them with friends, but I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from this community.Here are my queries:
1. Is it possible for me to legally drive a motorcycle or car in Malaysia with my current Indian driving license?
2. Should I get my Indian driving license attested by the Indian Embassy?
3. I am contemplating applying for an International Driving Permit (IDP) through one of the following websites:

Has anyone used these services before, and are they recognized by Malaysian authorities?Your insights on this matter would be incredibly helpful.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
