But Officer, I Really HAVE a License
Simon | August 18, 2007I am going abroad for an extended period and will need to drive to get around. So I got myself an International Driving Permit.

I paid RM160 for the permit and to my surprise what I got is a cheap-looking, beige-colored booklet. One would expect a proper driving permit to be in the form of a plastic card or something. Why do us Malaysian have to settle for an International Driving Permit that resembles a primary school report card? Because “Malaysia Boleh” lor.
If I ever get asked for my driving permit when I’m abroad, I hope I don’t have to convince them that the dodgy-looking paper booklet is REALLY my driving permit. And I didn’t made it up myself by stapling a few piece of paper together and printing my name on it.
Fingers crossed.
Simon used to think that he's got life all figured out.







Hey, seems like I have the same yellow report card
