Welcome Ashraf,
You can use your national/international driving license until you get the Kuwait residency. After that you need to obtain the local one.

My advice is NO if you are coming on working VISA from Malaysia already stamped on your passport...unless you are on visit visa first then only you can use your IDP....getting a local licence is doable but not that easy and costly too! But you will get inshaAllah

Also, remember that getting a driving license is dependent on your job title... otherwise you wait a couple of years before even trying.
